> Hungary is excluded from the list

In general, I do agree that we must learn from the successes of past systems, but we also must learn from their failures, or else we're doomed to repeat them. Issue is, these people that are usually from western countries that like to pretend everything bad Stalin did is fake news by the capitalist class, just like our far-right likes to pretend many things the nazis did are just Stalinist propaganda to make everyone right of Lenin look bad.

Democracy is unironically good, and the main issue is politicians conning their voter base, not that we have the wrong kind of strongmen leaders in position.

Saw this and was struck by how close the outline looks to a contiguous US map.

Russia: Is imperialist settler-colonial regime that conquered and settled while genociding much of native siberian, kamchatka populations etc.

Dessalines: If you criticise Russia you are an imperial colonialist.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 29 points 1 day ago

The irony that most tankies are in the bubble.

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 4 points 1 day ago

They what they are doing. I don't know or understand why but they can't be that delulu IMHO

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 55 points 1 day ago

The devs should be invisible if they want their project to succeed like a California wildfire. This hurts Lemmy's donations.

[-] death@infosec.pub 27 points 1 day ago

Not necessarily a bad thing. There are multiple interoperable “threadiverse” platforms already. I like Lemmy currently but I’d happily switch to an alternative, and financially support them, if like the UX and the devs are less toxic.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 18 points 1 day ago

i'm really eying piefed as the future of this communication strategy

[-] death@infosec.pub 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The current Piefed instances unfortunately don't seem to show what they federate with. I personally would not join an instance which federates with lemmy .ml anymore, for example. But yeah there sure are a lot of options popping up which is great.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I've been looking at Piefed and Mbin long-term. Don't think I'm ready to make the change yet, but when Federation is more reliable, I'll probably make the move to one of them.

[-] scintilla@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

I'm a huge fan of piefed.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 day ago

once it has app support and an instance as clearly aligned with my politics as slrpnk.net i'll probably move over

[-] scintilla@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Interstellar is almost there but it still doesn't have notifications unfortunately. It's also limited to I'm pretty sure only one instance at the moment.

[-] tal@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

It looks to me like it supports multiple. In fact, it has a default to anonymous kbin.earth setting that I don't think that you can remove even if you add accounts on other instances.

[-] jwr1@kbin.earth 2 points 19 hours ago

You actually can remove the guest kbin.earth account, you just have to add a different account and switch to it first.

[-] tal@lemmy.today 2 points 18 hours ago

Ahh, you're right, thanks. I'd tried creating another account, and just assumed that deleting the active one would work and then switch me to another extant account. Doesn't display a message or anything, just doesn't let you do the deletion.

But if you switch first, it does work.

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 44 points 1 day ago

Weird how they didn't ban that meme with the map showing Crimea as Ukrainian

[-] Kaboom@reddthat.com 39 points 1 day ago

The devs are the biggest problem with lemmy. Sure, there's hexbear and whatever else, but the devs need to be better than most. A sane person sees that kind of post, and they leave before they even give it a chance.

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Sadly this is very true. And I literally said as much to nutomic directly last week. In the thread on world soliciting donations. Not even a reply. Not serious developers. Just kids with a few coding skills. Who are going to do what they want to do, because they want to. And if you have a problem with that then that's your problem. Not theirs.

[-] tal@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

As of this writing, I don't think that any of the viable Threadiverse Lemmy alternatives (mbin, piefed) support native mobile clients via the API.

investigates

Hmm. Apparently that's not correct. Interstellar can handle both mbin and piefed. It's not in F-Droid, though.

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Interstellar shows up in fdroid when I search for it. So I'm not 100% I may have added another repository.

I say fdroid. I was mistaken. I'm currently using droidify with the Izzy on android repository enabled.

[-] tal@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah, I needed to do that to get it installed, trying it out right now.

It feels more-responsive then Eternity, and the dev appears to be more active, but I did notice that it doesn't appear to yet support monospaced blockquotes

just colorizes them differently at the moment. Probably some other stuff. Definitely usable, though.

EDIT: Note that I've only used it on a lemmy instance, not mbin or piefed, so I can't speak as to the support there.

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Currently I'm using Voyager. No one client has everything I want yet but it's pretty close Interstellar looks wise would be a close second. It works pretty Snappy but it doesn't have user tagging and a few other things that I like.

[-] TheFrirish@jlai.lu 10 points 1 day ago

I'm glad to be finally able to share Interstellar which supports Piefed as well as Lemmy and mbin. still work in progress though.

[-] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 33 points 1 day ago

I'm from Japan. Does this mean I can say “Fuck colonists, fuck tankies!”?

[-] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 1 day ago

Please do. And don’t forget that most “Tankie” regimes,

Russia, China etc. have large settler colonial histories, especially Russia.

[-] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 18 points 1 day ago

Done.

Let’s see how long it takes⏱️.

lmao, okay goodbye mainstream LGBTQ political power.

"No not you"

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

the Baltics

Funny you mention that...from the directors cut:

LMAO

[-] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 15 points 1 day ago

Seriously. If they think the US people on Lemmy are anti-Russian (which, they are, in an abstract geopolitical-college-seminar type of way), they have literally never interacted with people of a certain generation from one of the former Soviet republics.

To them it is personal. They will punch you.

[-] red@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 hours ago

I'm from Finland and I'll gladly say fuck 'em. And if you complain, we're going to have a problem

[-] Carmakazi@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Pay up, Lemmy, adminning is hard work!

Greenland and Canada's Arctic Archipelago are presumably going to have to be pulling some double shifts on commenting.

Welcome to MoG!

Meanwhile On Grad

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!

What is a Tankie?

Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of biased source)

Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.

Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.

Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.

Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.

Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.

You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
