This was 2 mods that banned you across all the comms they mod, not a site-ban at least, though sitebans look like this too because of a workaround in place to ensure that a site-banned user’s content is purged (or something like that)

It’s possible they hit the wrong button/inputted wrong script command hence the “appeal granted” thing. I would reach out to the mod of those comms

Lol thanks 🫡

Normally, yes. However, the Lemmy devs thrust themselves into the spotlight with their words and actions (dessalines themselves has posted Tankie content, just recently a meme about the DPRK dictatorship being “western propaganda”) through their instance

If they just had alts on grad or hex that no one knew was them, or hell ran grad or hex with said, we wouldn’t be here on this comm today.

Instances would just defederate them and move on, but they don’t want that because it reduces their audience.

That’s good! Please consider redirecting that funding to PieFed which has no moral issues (No Tankie devs) or your instance instead

The Threadiverse itself is worth supporting and can be done without a penny going to Tankies

Being a communist is fine, it’s the simping for authoritarian regimes that are communists-in-name-only (CINO) and genocide denying

I’d bet a whole paycheck that if Russia was aligned with Israel instead of the US they’d be defending the Palestinian genocide instead

I don’t get it, especially now that Putin refuses all cease fire agreements it’s pretty clear who the aggressor is.

They operate under the belief that Ukraine is under the rule of a Nazi regime, so to them Putin might be the aggressor, but it’s for the greater good

Code is code, open source is open source.

Lemmy is coded to be a link aggregator type social media, there’s nothing inherently political about it.

It’s the fact that they use their supposed “test instance” and their influence as the Lemmy developers to spread their “message” because they know that it’s going to be difficult for other instance admins to defederate from the “Dev instance” that’s the problem.

And indeed that’s pretty much what’s playing out, most instances defederate from the first 2 of the triad fairly easily, but when it comes to the .ml instance admins are hesitant. Even though .ml allows much of the same crap, just “tempered” under the surface.

NGL, I’ve seriously thought about it, but my AI skill set is very much still “in development” and I have tons of other projects to get done on my projects list

For all this AI BS we’re going through, why is there not one to actually automate budgeting. Of all the fucking apps they’re shoving down people’s throats, the one thing I’ve been waiting for still hasn’t come. Wtf.

I really need it, anything that doesn’t automatically pull in transactions reliably, between multiple accounts and reconciles transactions between them (matching a 10.39 transaction on one of my privacy cards to the corresponding bank pull transaction) is just gonna fall apart for me in a matter of months. (At best)

Envelopes, spreadsheets, YNAB, Quicken all have been tried, all got forgotten about -_-

Lol don’t forget @[email protected]! 😂

O: a rare Wild Thornberrys meme!

I’m not super familiar with OBS for… actually capturing/streaming games, but if you add a new source of “Game Capture”, select your game window and the check the “Capture Audio” option it should work. Though I see it is marked as beta lol

.world is fine for the most part, a lot of us are just trying to keep things more distributed amongst smaller instances so that not any one instance can overly dominate with many large comms.

It helps keep things healthier overall for the Threadiverse

Np, some clients are just weird about it sometimes lol

If you’re looking for a good meme comm that isn’t on world or .ml [email protected] is a nice vibrant one

Well I did crosspost it, it shows in the crosspost chain view

But this was crossposted as part of ongoing boycotting/protest efforts to reduce the influence of .ml comms because of the behavior of the .ml instance admins to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate

Some highlights from the link:

"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

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558

CW: Original transphobic Comment from Nutomic

“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

“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

No flavor customization options ❌

At least 6 flavor shots available to add to the base flavor ✅

That’s why Trump admin officials are saying this, they know this is what will probably happen LMAO

Honestly, if this finally breaks the 2-party system in the US I’d be happy.

Imagine Muskrat pouring billions into getting RCV or something passed in the majority of states…and then still losing lolol

It was established 2 years ago, before the concerns for .world becoming so big started really cropping up

Plus, there’s really nothing wrong with .world having some big comms, the real issue is them having the bulk of the big comms

Forgot he’s in NC

I mean, he was already not supposed to get hit by hurricanes at all being up in the mountains already lol
