I had similar issues, I joined a small Mastodon instance and for some reason couldn't see comments or amounts of boosts. I guess it was just misconfigured

Because they're low orbit communication satellites that require a lot of fuel to maintain said orbit, and are designed to deorbit pretty quickly so as to not pollute LEO with junk?

Haters. Groups paid by Steve Huffman. Script kiddies. Any rich trust fund pissant with a couple hundo to spend on the dark web.

Oh my god you're right! I almost forgot the West does bad things too! I guess that exonerates China and I'll take your word that a CIA affiliated newspaper managed to confirm they stopped concentrating minorities en mass.

How dare anyone mock someone who indefinitely inters minorities for "cultural reeducation"

For example, many people consider homeless or unemployed people barely anything more than “parasites” or “leeches” because they supposedly don’t uphold their part in the social contract

Just gonna hit back on this and say most people probably consider the total utter degeneracy and petty/violent crimes they witness the local homeless population commiting as them not upholding the social contract. Here in my city they're shitting on a busy sidewalk in broad daylight, or blatantly stealing packages or openly assaulting women. Endlessly harassing people on our public transit and making it a nightmare to use.

I made that sound bad, I'm sure there's plenty that likely aren't acting this way. I'm sure I'm only seeing the worst of the worst. Their lives have undoubtedly been rough and I can only imagine what happened to them as a child to lead them to where they are as an adult. They're regularly looked down upon and we gutted our mental health institutions long ago. Heroin and fentanyl are omnipresent.

But to imply that most people view them as not upholding the contract because they don't have a job is probably incorrect. We're at a time where empathy is at its highest concerning systemic/collective issues. But if we're not careful this also leads us to ignore and excuse away individuals who are blatantly in the wrong and have the least empathy towards others because we've blinded ourselves to be unable to see the trees in the forest. Just because your life sucks doesn't mean it's okay for you to abuse others to make yourself feel better.

Lemmygrad absolutely seething at all the blatant orientalism in this thread 😂

Edit: lemmygrad.ml admins got my boy above and rewrote his comment. He's now in a reeducation camp, everyone pour one out for him.

Lmao

Yes. It seems to be a propaganda echo chamber they've placed themselves in where they wholesale distrust any western/European media and 100% trust all Chinese/Russian state media. They full on defend Russia and China as a core part of their political ideology.

There are a few threads I've seen happen -- and instigated -- where I was overwhelmingly downvoted by tankies yelling at me about "anglo/western fascism" and denying the uighur genocide. They defend the Chinese government with a fervor that easily marks them as tankies. It's a real problem.

Huh? I'm not an instance operator (yet). I was actually asking you a question, does this actually happen? Have you seen this on your own instance?

Was hoping to get some discussion going on this.

Edit: do you have any example logs from your postgres instance demonstrating this?

Is this accurate?

Please just let me go to my local CVS and get this. I've considered trying to trick a vet into giving me the one they give dogs (that was originally developed and used for humans but taken off the market for total bullshit reasons) but easier said than done.

It is confusing, Tor is an excellent privacy tool if used properly (don't log in to stuff), but I guess it's still a technical hurdle to most. Probably also from a lack of marketing.

I think in countries where the government is decidedly more authoritarian it's more known. On my relay right now I see a ton of russian and a smaller amount of German connections.

You'd be surprised at how many imbeciles a simple step like this will weed out. Lotta unqualified people applying to everything

Those onion layers don't add up to nothing.. also I've heard it's under constant attack. Plus not enough people running relays and exit nodes.

Just download Tor browser and go to Lemmy. World

What country? Sounds like a kangaroo court or a court staffed entirely by old people.

This should be a felony
