I do use AdGuard on my phone, but it worked for me. Good to know they‘ll be back ty.

Wait, did it die completely? I knew they lost the domain, but did they not change to anywhere else?

Lol maybe it needs to be rephrased, you know like childfree instead of childless. “Partner free”

1. I was quoting someone else

2. You getting so triggered over me merely using the word tankie shows you‘re not just about “talking about wars”, but something more nefarious, which I don‘t really care for or about.

I also don‘t think the entire nation is shit about China by the way, mainly the way the government repress wrongthink and block half the internet and kill people for protests is from my perspective SHIT. Now, judging by your style of “discussion” this will upset you even more, so I prefer to block in advance. Have a good one.

I‘d enjoy it if they both lose money/attention and more of it went to the devs and admins of all these instances I like. Unlikely, but I can dream.

Makes sense, he does seem like he’d have an inflated sense of self-importance and he can see all the eat the rich type of stuff on Reddit.

Tankie is authoritarian communists, so basically China/USSR/dictatorship fan. Corpo is from Cyberpunk to mean like businessmen/executives, but I like to use it for kinda hyper consumerist/capitalist people too.

I personally do think there is more to people than their political ideologies usually, even if I get upset with some of them for it.

I agree and I do have a feeling like it‘s a geekier crowd, similar to Reddit 10 years ago when I first went there.

I don‘t feel like it myself, but feel free to try to get through to them of course. I do want more people here, but I‘m also ok with it not being that many and especially not all of the thick headed ones who need a billionaire to tell them what to think.

Funny thing is my comment was about kbin, I just mentioned Lemmy and Mastodon as an interaction, but that is their main talking point anyway, the other ones was “too complicated” and “looks shit” and some more. They clearly don‘t have any understanding of open source or forking, so I didn‘t even bother to explain.

Also I don‘t even wanna know what ideology spez or Zuckerberg subscribe to, probably something fascist too and TikTok is also owned by tankies basically, anyway no sense in fighting that and I regret I tried, just glad I got this space with all of you to enjoy.

I went to Reddit for the first time this month to speak up in a relevant thread about it and got a bunch of tone deaf replies about they‘d rather join Threads cause “its popular and you sound like crypto bros with the decentralised stuff” and also some “Lemmy was made by tankies” and so on.

You know what, I don‘t care, don‘t want these short sighted people here, let them get screwed a few more times by the corpos if they enjoy it so much.

This seems like a meme from before it turned to paper straws and paper lids.

I‘m not entirely sure tbh, I don‘t even remember where I originally got this link from, I just think it seems legit due to the updates etc. Maybe the onion link you have is a personal one or maybe they switch mirrors every so often. There is a few copycats around too you can find on Google, but with onion links its even harder to know what‘s up.

In addition to Anna’s Archive, I also use libgen.rs, libgen.is, gen.lib.rus.ec (which I think are all the same site?) as well as zlib (ways to access on: https://go-to-zlibrary.se/#useful_link_tab), I can‘t find more than the core rule book on there though.

I‘m still using corporate operating system myself, so I couldn’t advise. I hope that my time on here will help me learn from wise senpai like yourself and reach an open source transcendence.

It‘s probably going to be the other way around if anything, Spotify eventually doing various moves worsening the experience in an effort for more money. It‘s surprising how long it is holding out (and I‘m still using and enjoying it too), but ever since I learned about Enshittification, I‘m expecting it to worsen eventually.

I like your glasses a lot, it‘s probably my favourite sort of style and they suit you.

Spotify, only because they still got everything I need and I don‘t want to bother with building my own music library. If they enshittify the service enough, I‘ll ditch that too though.

The power lies in leaving Reddit behind.

I‘ve had a phase in my life where I was really trying to see the socialism in China, but I just can‘t find it. I wish someone would explain to me for real, it might have been there decades ago but right now? What is even socialist about it?

See for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_relations_in_China

How anyone can read this and not see the state capitalism idk.

Then also they got tang ping just like we have antiwork and I mean, for all of democracies ills, at least I‘m allowed to have a negative attitude towards work and it‘s not getting censored off the internet as a danger to the state.

I have a few communist friends and here they try to achieve socialism through democracy and even have some local successes (Graz KPÖ mayor!), but even though they are not like tankies, have some blind spots there where sometimes I wonder if I‘d be in trouble if they got a dictatorship going (myself being more Anarchist). So the tankies hurt their efforts by association, sucks.

Well shit. I thought this might happen. I mean it‘s only a talk for now, but I suspect further that there will be some sort of money offer in an effort to start the “embrace” part of embrace, extend, extinguish and with the NDA we won‘t know if he took the money or not.

So for those who care about not embracing Meta, it‘s the canary in the coal mine. I‘ll switch to one of my safer Lemmy instances now I suppose before I get too attached to this one, see y‘all around under my new identity.
