    When I joined Lemmy, Lemmy.ml didn’t really feel different than Lemmy.world to me.

    Maybe I’m taking crazy pills but it’s like they got more propagandist on purpose. As if they decided to up the anthem because .grad got defederated by all sane instances… And what’s propaganda good for if it doesn’t reach the right people?

    Same with tankies having lemmy.world accounts. It’s not ironic, it makes sense.

    Now Lemmy.ml became their “outreach” instance, where they ban everyone who criticizes them (even on another instance) or even for downvoting (Dessalines did that because his favorite poster ‘cowbee’ got downvoted by “bots” too much. Then they opted out on lemvotes, so no more checking yourself).

    For an outsider it looks like everyone agrees with them because they upvote each other and every critic got either banned or they blocked them themselves and I’m starting to think this might be by design. I wonder how many users are banned from .ml, while still retaining general visibility through federation.

    Isn’t it basically how Russia and China operate? Keep your own people isolated in a bubble where only your narrative is accepted and at the same time invade other spaces to manipulate their opinions?








  • Prices in China:

    BYD Atto 3: 16k USD.
    BYD Seal: 25k USD.
    Tesla 3: 32k USD.

    Prices in Germany:

    BYD Atto 3: 33k USD.
    BYD Seal: 45k USD.
    Tesla 3: 46k USD.

    Comparing prices like you do just looks like bad faith. And I’m not saying this to support Tesla but to highlight that there is some serious BYD shilling going on here.

    You want Tesla to compete? I guess the US already has prison slave labour and reduced safety measures for Teslas, it’s just missing some billions of US tax money flowing in and you got what you wished for.

    Not a good idea? But China doing exactly that is OK, because US bad equals China good?

    Maybe putting tariffs on chinese imported EVs (like the EU does) is the reasonable thing to do to protect your own industry and jobs.






  • I doubt you’re getting downvoted for saying that chrome is faster than firefox, but for the irony of using Linux with a Chromium based browser, while being on lemmy.

    1. Chromium, while open source, is controlled by Google and a lot of browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Samsung Android, Vivaldi) are built on it, giving it a market share of around 75%.

    2. Electron apps are frameworks based on Chromium (ie VSCode).

    3. Google is evil and with Manifest V3, Adblockers like uBlock Origin, will eventually stop working for all derivatives (even for Vivaldi).

    4. The future: Because Chromium got the de facto monopoly there is no need for Firefox support anymore and the big corpos (ie Microsoft is a sucker for Chromium/Electron) can turn what’s left of the “old” Internet into apps without the ability to block ads or tracking.

    5. No “?”, just Profit.


  • It’s good for your mental health, but bad for lemmy in general. Those people need to be called out on their shit, downvoted and banned if necessary.

    Compare it to those scam emails that are written in bad english to weed out the people too intelligent to fall for it.

    They prefer you banning them, so they can influence the people listening more easily.


  • Nearly everything you said is just plain wrong:

    • The NPD never got banned (supposedly because the party was “insignificant”).
    • They renamed themselves “Die Heimat”.
    • If banned, a follow up party from the AfD would be automatically banned too.
    • You make it sound like 30% of Germans vote AfD, while they get that many votes mainly in the eastern states.
    • You talk about democracy and call Nazis “political opponents”. I got news for you: Those fascist scums’ only goal is to get rid of democracy, sell Europe to Russia and maybe start a third world war.

    So keep on talking as much as you like, everyone with half a brain can see right through you.
