We can fix a lot of things ourselves or just with time like, lack of content, engagement etc. but without a hard-line against the tankies like wide defederation of .ml (or at least just the big ones like .world) fixing the outside reputation is going to be a tall order. Even with PieFed

That's a BAN!"English26·1 day agoThanks for your concern, but I’m perfectly relaxed, this is part of my documentation efforts.
People that see the world in black and white are dangerous. The bad, moms basement kind of dangerous.
Yup, that’s tankies for ya

It’s mostly just been the web UI
But off the top of my head I believe Voyager is rolling out PieFed support, but iirc it’s still in beta
cm0002@lemmy.worldOPto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•Lemmy.ml continues to allow misinfo/propaganda sites "articles" so long as it's Russia-aligned/anti-west while removing good credible news sources. Instances that federate with them help their spreadEnglish3·1 day agoI don’t think it was on the support comm, but they did respond on a thread about it once on why they don’t defed from them like they did the other 2.
It boiled down to 3 things: big comms, official Lemmy support comms and the fact the devs rolled out instance blocking tools
The 1st one, I’m hopefully solving with my cross-posting and calls for boycotting, the third one is by calling attention to the fact that it doesn’t work as one would think. Pretty sure everyone thought block meant block when it was being discussed.

But the others are Hexbear and Lemmygrad (if you wanna see some of the things they say, check this thread out (viewed as a local post outside your client) https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/48132283)

cm0002@lemmy.worldOPto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•Davel, .ml admin: "Comrade there is no censorship in Beijing! Everyone is happy! Taiwan has their own culture? NONSENSE this is all just misinformation! REMOVED!"English20·2 days agoThat’s just what the .ml admins do, check out the megathread
Any criticism of them, their instance, the triad, their stances, preferred sources or their favored authoritarian regimes are generally removed.
And, as a cherry on top, they’ll turn around and criticize other instances like .world or SJW as the ones who censor “wrong think” or censor criticism of the instance lol
That doesn’t sound unusual, it’s probably the heat they wanted

Don’t fucking give them any ideas
cm0002@lemmy.worldOPto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•.ml world "news" continuing to be an excellent source of journalism and definitely NOT contributing to the spread of Putin talking points!/sEnglish3·2 days agoYea, for the most part, but it’s still fully federated so you’ll still be part of the Threadiverse and will be able to fully see and interact with all of Lemmy’s content and users without issues
But, on PieFed, at least block means block, blocking lemmy.ml or any other instance on PieFed blocks comms and users alike and blocking an individual user on PieFed means they won’t be seeing any of your comments or posts. So none of this mute BS on Lemmy where problematic users can still brigade your content and comment “behind your back” on your posts/comments without your knowledge
cm0002@lemmy.worldOPto The Democratic People's Republic of Tankiejerk@lemmy.world•STILL waiting on that paycheck, it's been months now!121·3 days agoLol yea, because constantly spreading Russian propaganda like Ukraine being a Nazi regime or NK actually being really good and definitely not a brutal dictatorship is totally healthy for the Fediverse LMAO

But now I kinda wanna see if I can hijack this monitoring it does and fake 100% volume to the application at all times…hmm welp to the mile long project list it goes!

I’m more attached to Boost than the underlying server software anyways, so if it ever gets PieFed support I’ll be leaving for that

Hey, anyways I still haven’t gotten my paycheck, do you have the number for CIA HR?
Try to pivot to contract/consulting IT work, it’s more of a PITA because you have to take care of things like health insurance on your own, but it might be a tad easier to pick up work that way since companies are always more willing to drop a grand or 2 here and there over hiring someone that needs commitment, benefits, support, training etc.
You don’t need to “jack rabbit” out, but you shouldn’t be moving like a sloth either, every second of delay delays all other cars behind you and reduces overall traffic flow
