  • This has been my thought.. I'm sure there is still an extremely large number of productive, healthy users left on reddit. However, I think the proportion of the userbase sways very heavily towards trolls, bots, and toxic users at this point.

    I feel okay with shutting the hatch to a flooding chamber at the cost of a few, to save the many others on the ship..

    Most of the healthy users have left reddit. Now just let reddit consume itself and fulfill its new destiny to become a bot-filled, anti-intellectual, hate-filled, giant corporate circle-jerk.

  • In some of the screenshots, it's clear that a brush is being used by the uniform distribution of pixels in the same size/pattern in multiple areas.

    I don't really think the admins are concerned about concealing their actions anymore. They're just trying to cashout on a sinking dumpster fire while its valuation plummets.

  • No that's not true.. .ml is the TLD for Mali and lemmy.ml selected it because it was free.... This claim you're making is like people claiming AC/DC stands for anti-christ devil-child. No, it's electrical currents, hence the lightning bolt...

    With that said, they did censor anti-china rhetoric, had many pro-china trolls/brainwashed users, and started censoring words, including "bitch." So I'm not defending the instance. But this claim about what .ml means is just blatantly false! It's a country's TLD!

  • The claim about .ml meaning that is about as dumb as people saying AC/DC means anti-christ devil-child..

    But lemmy.ml absolutely removed posts criticizing china. They also made their beliefs very clear. It wasn't lemmygrad.. but they would absolutely censor anti-china rhetoric, and had many brainwashed or Chinese troll accounts.

    They even started censoring certain words on lemmy.ml, including "bitch." I'm not okay with that...

    I think the majority of users were normal people who randomly ended up there. But just because this one claim is silly, it doesn't detract from very real issues that existed there.

  • I already responded to this elsewhere. Stop spamming shit.

    Who's got a rampant history of war crimes and genocide again?....

    . . . .

    Oh yeah, fucking russia!

    Both sides are not the same and russia is the aggressor.

  • I agree with you, but I think it's easier to see and say this when we are not over there living the hell they are. I do not agree with a ban like this at all. I think they end up being counterintuitive.

  • Russia has repeatedly broken peace treaties and ceasefires with Ukraine. Their word means jack shit.

    Next you're going to suggest we just need to sit down for a reasonable conversation with Kim Jong Un...

    And speaking of misinformation/propoganda, nice job trying obfuscate from the fact that Ukraine is fighting for their own sovereignty against an aggressor who's committed genocide against their citizens, (with a recent history doing so in Syria as well).

    You're either purposefully peddling propoganda under the guise of a warning, or you've hypocritically fallen victim to it while warning against it. Either way, your statement is devoid of reality.

  • Yep, he's doing great! I intervened quick enough that his injuries were just superficial. I was the only one in the mix who really got injured. Tho we've all got some new scars now. My dog and I both ended up with scars near our right eye, which is darkly amusing to me. The whole ordeal was hardest for my wife. I'm not fazed much by situations like that, and my dog didn't seem too bothered by it either.

  • My wife and my dogs. Would do anything for them. I pried a large dog's mouth off of my dog's throat earlier this year. I knew I was going to get bit, I know I'm dumb, and I'd do it again in a second for him.

    At first, all my might couldn't overpwer him. Once my hands got crunched, that's when I went into fight or flight and pried it's mouth open like it was nothing. He had at least a 500+ pound bite force, given his size. I couldn't believe the strength that surge of adrenaline gave me..

    Once I pried the dog's mouth open, I shouted to my dog to release the other dog's lip (which he peirced) and he did release, then I sort of suplexed this big dog to get them separated.

    My hands had decent injuries and I had a lot of superficial gouges from claws/teeth or whatever. It happened so fast it was hard to tell what really got me. It felt like jumping into a cartoon dust cloud brawl...

    Most painful part was them rinsing out my middle finger that got caught between the canines and fractured and torn up. When that cold saline shot out of a turkey baster-sized syringe into my wounds reached the bone, it felt like a toothache in my finger...

    When I was in the ER, I asked the doctor stitching up my wounds (only one stitch in each because they were dog bites) how often they get dog bites, and then immediately followed up asking about human bites. He paused for a second and then said "We get at least one dog bite a day, one human bite a week." That is at just one of 3 major hospitals in this Midwest city!

    Man I'm too stoned and I've gone on such a tangent... My wife and my dogs are just always there when I've been at my lowest. The unconditional love of a dog has gotten me thru some of the darkest periods in my life. I love my dogs as much as a human family member.
