It’s a crosspost and your client doesn’t support collapsing crossposts, or the other post breaks the crosspost for some reason (Instance proxying issue, user choose to reupload entirely etc)
Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
Dessalines, head .ml admin, lead Lemmy dev actively spreading genocide denialism https://sh.itjust.works/post/61371958
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

Ok maybe not so good for meta glasses…but…now hear me out…flock cameras >:)
Shit, that looks cool just to have LMAO
6·3 months agoPretty much all those examples, but the real danger is chaining this exploit with others
Perhaps someone is sitting on a couple exploits to get them into a system, but only to an unprivileged user, this would be a great final act
Mullvad generates you a unique account number for your “login” that you’re only told once (if you pay them in crypto or other privacy friendly payment methods)
PIA did/does something similar but they’ve lost my trust
I didn’t… what? What’s vger.to?
28·5 months agoIt’s very good, but it’s also one of those things where they did the right things (essentially preventing forcing an ISP to be a enforcer of sorts) for the wrong reasons (Cox had more money)
Intent meaning they’re not an ISP that caters to piracy
E.g. you start an ISP called Pirate Connections, advertise that you cater to piracy and have specific piracy friendly features (optimized for torrents, gang planks, minimal logging etc) is bad
Why this random ass latam country has it so good? I don’t fkng know, competition probably, as there are many companies fighting for costumers.
Its because of legacy technology debt, the US was “first” to deploy out consumer Internet infrastructure, but that also means before we could deploy each iteration something had/has to be done with the old and that’s pricey
Now a developing country deploying internet infrastructure for the first time can deploy straight to fiber because the countries who were first did all the hard work developing the tech and they don’t have to worry about ripping out any old infrastructure
This was picked up on a .ml crosspost, this could have been picked up from Reddit or anywhere really since it’s a screenshot, so don’t go around accusing people of following a shit stain based on a single screenshot
