Not just any businesses either, he bankrupted a casino… TWICE

It takes a special kind of stupid to bankrupt a fucking casino, twice

As an American, I’m here for it, go EU go! Make it hurt!

Yea, and then the Republicans of the time lost the House and Senate for 60 years…so…¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Right‽ This is ridiculously stupid when you can download the entirety of Wikipedia in a single package and parse it to your hearts desire

Haha, well according to the lemmy.ml tankies Russia just has a whole bunch of “unique” ways of bringing sovereign countries to the negotiating table ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Germany on track for the greatest redemption arc of all time lmao

Yea yea yea, call me when he reveals a Stargate or something lmao

Who did that‽ It’s so beautiful, it should be posted all over Xitter lol

I don’t think it can, it’s a flagship because it’s the first instance, being run by the main devs as a demonstration of Lemmy’s capabilities so it’s always on the latest beta version at least.

But, they could just stop using it as a tool to further their own political stances and have it actually be a “generalist” instance. For that though, they’d have to give up being the admins of it, which they’ll probably never do.

It is of concern yes, but maybe if the wider Lemmy-verse defeded from them, like they did Hex and Grad, it would at least be easier to say that their views are not shared by any of us to any newcomers/outsiders by being able to point to a clear and visible action like defederation.

Hmm yes, how dare I pushback against authoritarian misinformation, propaganda, censorship and toxicity. I do what I can within my power to prevent (or rather having it get worse I should say)the Lemmy-verse from garnering a rep outside for being “That Tankie Place” or worse, Voat 2.0

I’ve already seen it on Reddit and testimonials here (from those that actually tried to give it another shot, who knows how many won’t ever come back) “I tried that Lemmy place, but it was just a bunch of tankies” is not a pleasant comment to read outside the Lemmy-verse

What I’ve documented on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works is but a mere fraction of the crap they pull and focused on just .ml

Btw, tankies are authoritarian “communists”

Hex and grad are tankie instances that are very in your face about it and don’t carry the honor of being “the flagship” instance and as a result were easy to widely defederate from which led to most people here not having strong opinions on it

.ml admins are hardcore tankies, but try to maintain .ml as the flagship and thus are more subtle about their tankieness. Instead opting to just censor any dissenting opinions before things get crazy in threads.

As a result many instances are way more hesitant to actually defed from them like they did the rest of the Tankie Triad, thus leading to more widespread visibility and in turn more widespread dissatisfaction of them by most.

Checkout !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works (for those on a .ml account you’ll need to use this link because, ironically, .ml admins censor that comm from you: https://lemmy.world/c/meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works ) for documented instances of their behavior

You have been banned from Lemmy.ml

For 2 months I was instance-banned and it was wonderful, but then your wonderful davel just couldn’t let that stand and then un-instance-banned me and re-banned me from individual comms instead for the sole purpose of allowing .ml users to brigade me

Anyways, there’s plenty of documentation of .ml’s Tankie behavior on lemmy.world/c/meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works I don’t warn people about that Tankie problem for no reason
