  • Their own example of a “differing opinion” to be discussed (i.e., promoted) instead of banned is flat earth lunacy.

    The policy is intended to promote disinformation and hate speech, as was that bot they shoved on all their communities a while ago.

    .world is and has always been a disinformation hub that should have been defederated by every sane instance from the get go.

  • So they're trying cut back on echo chambers and power tripping mods.

    No they're not. They're trying to promote disinformation and hate speech, because they're trying to emulate Musk, Zuckerberg, and spez, as they've always done.

    Hopefully this'll be the drop that makes the glass overflow and will get .world finally defederated by saner instances.

  • Well, hopefully this will finally get saner instances to deferate .world as the disinformation hub it's now openly admitting to intentionally be (and has always been, see the misinformation bot debacle for a previous example), so that's good for lemmy as a whole, I suppose, in the long term (once .world communities have moved to other instances).

  • If it was made by Ñoldor, which seems likely... yeah, you could say that.

    (“Elven cocaine” being mainly Fëanor's hubris, the doom of Mandos, and all that; which admittedly had all the bad parts of actual cocaine, but none of the fun ones).

  • The. Fuck.

    We've been digging holes for millennia without this kind of shit. These days tunnel boring machines practically do the job by themselves without needing to put anyone in danger.

    Is Musk intentionally trying to do this thing in the worst, most inefficient and dangerous way possible in a nostalgic attempt to emulate his father's apartheid emerald mine or what..!?

    The more I know about this arsehole the less I wish I knew about him, seriously. At this point the only thing I want to know about him is that he died of haemorrhoids.

  • Not really, it's just free publicity.

    Unless their product is shit, of course, and no one would pay for it after trying or recommend it to others... in which case, fuck them, they deserve it for attempting to sell shit.

  • I remember when eDonkey and later eMule were brand spanking new... It took quite a while for BitTorrent to gain enough traction (and for me to get fast enough internet) for it to be better... (and, frankly, I still miss eMule's Kademlia network's peer to peer search capabilities...)

  • Aren't they kidnapping children for “reeducation” and whatnot..? I think that counts as genocide...

    And even if they weren't (currently) doing it in Ukraine they've been doing it elsewhere, like in Chechnya...

    And, well, genocides, pogroms, and whatnot have been a Russian tradition for a long time... Ukraine in particular still remembers Stalin's holodomor, and the deportation of the Crimean Tatars...

    Hell, if there's such a thing as unintentional genocide or genocide by incompetence they've probably been doing it to themselves for centuries... “... and then things got worse” and all that...
