trolls parroting a made up story

So close to self-awareness

Maybe they're butthurt that Russian casualties are getting close to one point five million.

I was banned from lemmy.ml outright for asking if someone that was responding to me with obvious Russian propaganda was a Russian, because he was spouting obvious russian propaganda, I thought maybe he was and was being fed that propaganda.

I was banned for being racist by asking if someone was a Russian. Which is a nationality not a race.

And yes, I was also pointing to facts that where contradicting their made up stories about Nato etc.

It seems to me that lemmy.ml is a Russian misinformation outlet.

The Blue Morpho? Clearly just an alt account of The Monarch.

Out of curiosity, is thumbkey completely controlled by dessalines or can it be forked if they decided to get huffy?

https://github.com/dessalines/thumb-key

Because it's pretty damn cool.

Don't even bother they're brainwashed and determined to stay that way. I'm sure there are legitimate Russian propagandists among them, but most of them are poor deluded souls.

Or could he be Dr. Z's one night stand?

AGPL license, nothing stopping anyone from forking it anytime.

It seems to me that lemmy.ml is a Russian misinformation outlet.

Yes, but they don't even get paid. Schmucks.

Don't the lemmy devs get paid?

A 3-day "operation" getting stretched out into a 4-year-war is clearly a winning strategy you guyse

They get so mad over there when you remind them that Russians would stop dying if Putin would pull his army out of Ukraine's territory, including Crimea.

Yogthos is such a stupid person I literally can't believe how anyone takes them seriously. He's been saying this for genuinely YEARS

He's like those trump supporters waiting for "the kraken" with that whole Sydney Powell shit. I remember a guy who had fuck Joe Biden on his roof in Christmas lights and then had a sign in his yard that said "RELEASE THE KRAKEN"

6 years later the kraken sign is down and you can still see the outline of fuck Joe Biden on his roof from where the sun and rain wore on the more exposed parts.

Fucking loser that guy is.

Oh thanks. I'd blocked a lot of communities from .ml manually, but didn't ever notice that instance block option down there.

If only the other groups of rabid culty nuts on Lemmy were so centrally located. :/

I used the "T" word and was banned. Let it be known, it was a thinly veiled excuse, they just hate I brought up Taiwan.

lemmygrad, and hexbear is another one to block. individual users not so much.

It seems to me that lemmy.ml is a Russian misinformation outlet.

yes but they have good communities like their Linux and privacy communities etc, i ignore their weird pro fascist stance

I'm using the thunder app, how do I shut them out? I'm getting rather sick of their garbage too.

Waaay ahead of you.

. ml is cancer

It's probably not something you should ignore tbh.

if scientologists made open source software would you use it?

That, my friend, is actually an awesome question. I have the same question about Harry Potter and the biggot know as Rowling, or Hugh Jackman and his Trump and Murdock friends, Michael Jackson and pedophilia, Eric Clapton and his racism, etc, etc.

Can we / should we, separate the art from the creator?

I think we must. Not a single person alive is "purely good or purely evil" in all things (?)...

We do not turn a blind eye, we can acknowledge that Hitler was a human being and also evil. Same with Netanyahu and Trump. I will acknowledge they probably did some good in this world (perhaps only privately for their own people), but that does not mean we look away from their evil and vilify them for it.

No. We have a saying: When you are at a table with 10 people, and one of them is a Nazi. There are 10 Nazi's at that table.

There is no "neutral" in this case.

It depends on what the software does, and how well reviewed it was. A lot of cases I'd say yes, but if it was (as an example) a personal therapist app I'd be pretty suspicious of it.

If there's anything the Right and the Left agree on, it's that the worst thing you can ever do is be Neutral.

There is no Left vs Right when it comes to Fascism. There is only the rich and the rest.

Fascist movements have no allies, rich or poor. It's all about how useful and trusted you are by the paranoid maniac in charge.

Barging in on this week old thread. Had Dessalines also accusing me of "racism" after commenting "found the russian" on what was obvious pro-russian propaganda.

anyway, fuck the tankie developers. fuck Dessalines.
