Geneva is more of a radlib and Bad Empanada stan than a principled communist. 80% of what they post is decent to good, and a solid 20% is horrendous.

It's honestly very unfortunate. Geneva has had ample time and advice to move onto a better, more coherent worldview, when they seem to be taking the opposite path.

despite how they don’t block the triad - but at least PieFed.zip allows individual users to do so, if they wish. And after they figure out how, and that there is a need for such, which nobody it seems will officially recommend to them

On piefed.zip a new user has hexbear, grad and lemmynsfw put in their account filter. And the welcome DM that is being sent includes info that we do this and how to manage account filters. So as long as the new users read the DM, they from the start have the info how to block instances for themselves

We don't defederate often. I think it has been the selling point for some of our users. But PieFed offers much better blocking (compared to Lemmy at the time when I migrated), so we can have an instance for both - those who want everything, and those who don't

And btw, effectively speaking we don't do vote quota on PieFed.zip

Just defederate yourself from those instances (block them.) Idk why you think spending all this time and effort on an instance you really don't like is going to do anything positive for you.

Since there's no way to stop someone from just opening another account elsewhere, blocking the entire thing would just scatter them like smashing one roach will scatter the others.

This but unironically. Just block stuff you don't like and move on. I get a lot more annoyed by these posts bitching about ml than ml, because i have ml blocked already. Because i don't want to see ml anywhere on my feed. Except now i do and now i have another OP to block.

I dont believe that rightwingers (the enemy) are in any position to lecture anyone about the usage of any word tbh. I will not recognize anything these people say as anything other than garbage.

Tankies claim to be antifascist and anticapitalist but root for unfree, hypercapitalist, ultranationalist, imperialist countries like russia, who are actually behaving like Nazi Germany right now. They even have their own Nazi Symbol "Z" and matching armbinds. If Tankies are not fashists by the book, then the more fitting desctiption would be Nazi Enablers, or simply Larpers.

How's the genocide going?

Nice pivot

Lmao, in the US, you can be deported to a concentration camp in a country you've never been to for protesting against your government doing a genocide. You haven't been paying much attention lately?

Following your lead.

why you think spending all this time and effort on an instance you really don’t like is going to do anything positive for you.
I am not looking for something positive or negative. I am analyzing how they mix truth with false information to influence people.

What specifically triggers me is that they selectively criticize some things such as Israel's occupation of Palestine, but stay silent about Russia's invasion. It is good to inform others and provide references for the new lemmy users who do not know much about instances.

Democracy works when it serves USA's interest.

Which democratic countries did the US install dictatorship to apart from Iran which was more the UK(BP) thing?

Or you can learn what words mean and describe them with suitable ones.

I have only one user and host no public communities (at least, none that I would migrate). Ok I see.

So I would setup piefed on a different subdomain and then can I migrate / copy all my subscribed communities and posts and comments over? Because I want to remove the Lemmy instance then, and not lose all that

PieFed provided the ability to migrate from Lemmy to PieFed, so if the Lemmy devs want to provide for the ability to migrate from PieFed to Lemmy then that is up to them to make that happen. Ofc anyone could contribute the code and submit a PR offering it.

Sublinks was going to do similarly, but the project got massively postponed when the primary dev had a baby.

Refer to United States involvement in regime change.

Please don't ever link me to your whining again, thanks.

And you people wonder why you get banned.

When the roaches are farther apart they don't breed as much

I'm in China right now, ama.

Here's a random bike I saw a couple hours ago

How come?

A block allows the tankies to see the normal person's comments and to reply to they. The only effect of a block is that you won't know someone has replied to your comment and can badmouth you freely. So yeah, regarding blocks you are right.

But a defederation works differently. Users of a defederated instance do not see the comments on the otger side of the breakage at all, and therefore cannot troll under them either. If your instance fully defederates from the trolls, you really do get a better experience. There's no need for everyone to defederate for defederation to benefit the instance's users.

The comments in this post are turning nasty and I’ve already banned two users for their behavior. Locked.
