Come back, @[email protected] thankfully did an eli10 LMAO

I am not aware of any comm here yet, but please be sure to sure anything of interest you find at [email protected] I welcome everything DIY and electronic over there to include robotics :)

NGL, I’ve seriously thought about it, but my AI skill set is very much still “in development” and I have tons of other projects to get done on my projects list

For all this AI BS we’re going through, why is there not one to actually automate budgeting. Of all the fucking apps they’re shoving down people’s throats, the one thing I’ve been waiting for still hasn’t come. Wtf.

I really need it, anything that doesn’t automatically pull in transactions reliably, between multiple accounts and reconciles transactions between them (matching a 10.39 transaction on one of my privacy cards to the corresponding bank pull transaction) is just gonna fall apart for me in a matter of months. (At best)

Envelopes, spreadsheets, YNAB, Quicken all have been tried, all got forgotten about -_-

Lol don’t forget @[email protected]! 😂

O: a rare Wild Thornberrys meme!

.world is fine for the most part, a lot of us are just trying to keep things more distributed amongst smaller instances so that not any one instance can overly dominate with many large comms.

It helps keep things healthier overall for the Threadiverse

Np, some clients are just weird about it sometimes lol

If you’re looking for a good meme comm that isn’t on world or .ml [email protected] is a nice vibrant one

Well I did crosspost it, it shows in the crosspost chain view

But this was crossposted as part of ongoing boycotting/protest efforts to reduce the influence of .ml comms because of the behavior of the .ml instance admins to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate

Some highlights from the link:

"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558

CW: Original transphobic Comment from Nutomic

“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

No flavor customization options ❌

At least 6 flavor shots available to add to the base flavor ✅

Almost a year old and doesn’t cover the most recent action within just the last 7 hours, like I said, take it to [email protected] and reference your original thread as well as the new actions

Take it to [email protected] then and lay out your case publicly

This was one mod on one comm, if it’s a good or bad mod decision I won’t comment on. But poor mod decisions can happen any time anywhere.

The problem with .ml is the fact that it’s the admins micromanaging across the entire instance in order to push a political narrative. Nearly all mod actions in the .ml modlog is from 2 admins and shows a clear bias to push their ideology, leveraging their notoriety to do it and allowing known misinformation outlets’ “articles” to fester while surprising criticism from credible outlets.

That’s not “literally advertising”, that’s an Easter egg, a very subtle hint or maybe even “coded language”

In any case, it requires the person encountering it to already have a concept of it and background knowledge to some degree.

This isn’t the 90’s/early 2000s anymore where there were only a few TLDs to go around, back then encountering .ml would have lead to a line of questioning like you say.

But not today, today the average user doesn’t question the TLD anymore (as long as it’s not one frequently associated with “scams” like .xyz) because there’s just so many of them ranging from .io to .AI to .shop and .network

If I was proficient enough in Rust, I would have, or someone else would have long ago if it wasn’t written in Rust

Rust isn’t exactly a very popular language in open source right now due to its difficulty

They do not, Hex and Grad, yes. This is the current homepage of lemmy.ml, nothing indicates them being a Tankie Instance supporting Authoritarian regimes and their misinformation:

The spread of Russian propaganda and misinformation is in large part the reason for a lot of the right-wing BS. There’s been articles and documentation of their Misinformation campaign for at least a decade now

“Russia, shit military, fantastic intelligence service” ~A lemming comment I read once but can’t find again

We should not be a party to it’s continuing spread

What censorship? I have documented evidence of .ml’s rampant censorship

If .world is doing their own flavor then where’s the receipts?

Also, .world doesn’t need .ml, nobody needs .ml, they only have like 2 comms that don’t have a non.ml variant that beats them in MAUs

Grad, Hex and .ml users have been known to have many alts to help spread their “message”

It doesn’t work, on Lemmy block is nothing more than a mute, and the instance “block” (mute) does not even affect the individual users of an instance, just hides the comms of that instance from your view

Lemmy’s “block” still leaves you open to all manner of brigading that they’ve been known to do

And it still allows conspiracy theories, propaganda and misinformation to spread and fester and affect users who are unaware

They literally have articles over there spreading the Russian propaganda that Putin is justified in invading Ukraine because it’s “full of Nazis”

Besides this is the Threadiverse, there will always be an instance with wide federation if you as an individual choose to open yourself up to that kind of “content”
