  • I wish people would remember that Random Russian Conscripts != Putin and Gang. Imagine living in a fucked up oligarchic kleptocracy and it’s your 16th birthday and you’re thinking about your girlfriend the test tomorrow and maybe moving to America to get away from it all when you graduate and suddenly you find out it’s your turn to get fed to the meat grinder. There are standing orders to shoot you if you attempt to flee to the safety of enemy hands.

    Young Gregorvitch, why did you choose to be born in this place at this time, you piece of teenage garbage? You should have made better pre-life decisions.

    I hope we never become truly FTL space-capable unless we breed this seemingly necessary hate of “the other” out of ourselves. Imagine the havoc we would wreck on the universe with all the “others” out there.





  • It’s insane how infested Lemmy is with anti-Western shills stirring the pot against the West in any way they can. My fiancee is Jewish but I’m not religious so we have debates/arguments about the war, but it’s clear here that any comment not “Israel is literally Satan” is downvoted to hell.

    Don’t get me wrong it was bad on Reddit but Lemmy is on another level.

    That’s a problem with decentralization that needs to be solved because at the moment the only tools to deal with any of the tens or hundreds of Lemmy instances plagued by propaganda is to defederate them (on the Admin side) or block each individual user/server/sub (on the User side).

    At least with centralized services you can detect and (shadow)ban obvious bot activity quite easily. As far as I know of Lemmy infrastructure, your IP/User-Agent/other identifying metadata only goes as far as the server you’re registered to.

    Running a popular Lemmy server is probably a nice way to collect some juicy 0days from governments though, if you have the skillset.
