After having crossposted everything of worth from there for months now, I can say traffic has gone down considerably.

Whatever that’s left, can be easily substituted by other up and coming comms like !linux@programming.dev or !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

So, yes, we should be doing more calls for defederation IMO

By subscriber count, but comm subscriber count is, essentially, worthless. .ml memes has something like 51K subscribers, Lemmy has something like 54K TOTAL monthly active users. There’s no way nearly every single MAU is subbed to .ml memes LMAO

And indeed if you look at meme comms on https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active_month .ml memes, last I checked was somewhere around #40 (I’m not sure why it’s not appearing at all today, maybe it’s traffic tankies so hard it fell off the chart completely lmao)

The only remaining big ones, by MAUs, are Linux and Privacy, both of which are going to be toppled by !linux@programming.dev and !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com sooner or later.

The time for calling for defederation is now, whatever is left isn’t worth the damage they are doing

I almost put it in !positive_news@lemmy.ca lol

Buigi

We’re a little late on the bell riots, but we’re getting there!

Ok, but then where do you get said facts then if not from a “news agency”. I assume you’re not rich and able to just jet around the world all the time to see everything that happens in person lmao

especially about North Korea,

Oh boy, let me guess DPRK is actually a utopia that’s being kept secret from everyone amiright?

And I have a bridge to sell you. It’s as much a CIA cut-out as it ever was.

MBFC is shite. Of course it’s going to give RT a worse rating than RFE

You’re a tagged Tankie. Cult followers angry at an org calling out their dear leaders’ propaganda outlet calls it “shit”. Next up, water is wet.

If you think it’s shit, then provide credible sources to backup your claim.

Let’s say you’re 100% right, “Between CNN and NPR/PBS” is still not a bad spot and certainly not ban/removal worthy. Considering they turn around and allow shit like RT which spreads straight up conspiracies…

So now, here’s question for you, what news source do you trust? Who in your mind isn’t a shill and can be trusted?

We’re all part of the Fediverse which includes Masto, Pixel, PieFed, Lemmy etc all communicating on the same interoperable ActivityPub protocol

Under that is the “Lemmy-verse/Thrediverse” that is what would be “link aggregator” type social media (eg reddit) and includes PieFed, Lemmy, MBin etc.

While very cool in that it basically ruins the whole notion of centralized Social media, it has its quirks. Like what this meme is about, there’s no perfect way to translate a Lemmy reply to a mastodon user or a masto reply to a Lemmy post for a Lemmy user

Additional considerations apply to the use of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL). RFE/RL should be used cautiously, if at all, for reporting published from the 1950s to the early 1970s, when RFE/RL had a documented relationship with the CIA.

RFE/RL may be biased in some subject areas (particularly through omission of relevant, countervailing facts), and in those areas, it should be attributed in the article body. There is no consensus as to what subject areas require attribution. The scope of topics requiring attribution of RFE/RL should be decided on a case-by-case basis.

It hasn’t been true for some time now and is generally found to be credible and fairly unbiased and RFA is seen in even a more positive light:

Radio Free Asia can be generally considered a reliable source. In particularly geopolitically charged areas, attribution of its point of view and funding by the U.S. government may be appropriate. Per the result of a 2021 RfC, editors have established that there is little reason to think RFA demonstrates some systematic inaccuracy, unreliability, or level of government co-option that precludes its use.

And MBFC:

In contrast this is what RT looks like:

When you quote your link, in its entirety, it’s message changes drastically

Photon UIs show it on .world, https://photon.lemmy.world/modlog

A roundabout way is using regular.world modlog at lemmy.world/modlog and filtering by mod (that field is disabled on most instances)

@metaStatic@kbin.earth listen here you little shit

Linus has entered the chat

I mean, it kinda is to me, the base meme image isn’t of them being in space or doing any of the “tourism” parts, but of them being “so grateful to be on the ground” because they couldn’t “handle it”

Communism in Theory

• Everyone on equal footing
• Everyone’s basic human rights are met (Healthcare, Housing, Safety & Security)

Communism in practice

• Authoritarianism
• Homo/Trans-Phobia

I was just about to say this doesn’t feel right LMAO

Left over fries are good, sometimes I even leave them out on purpose to reheat them!

I WILL die on this hill
