Secondly you’ve not provided any proof that Zelensky is a “gangster”

I think Cowbee said “Kiev is a gangster state with immense corruption” which is a bit different.

For almost 2 years, people have been violently kidnapped from the streets, thanks to this totally non-gangster state, after they loosened the laws (which Zelensky signed, BTW). For example, here (violence warning!) is a yesterday video from Odessa. And we get video like this every day. It’s like ICE in US, but much worse because people can’t protest against it due to ongoing war.

And recently we had a ton of corruption scandals tied to Zelensky’s inner circle. You can just scroll below, someone already linked.

but it isn’t a “hardcode”

But you showed a constant with the words. Even if you can disable this, I’d call it a “hardcoded list”.

Hm… I wouldn’t call plush toys dolls. But everything else mentioned is a doll, yeah 🙂

Their operations become somewhat declassified after X years (I don’t remember the exact number, but there is law for it). You can see many of their documents on the CIA website. For example, the Aerodynamic operation.

Ah, forgot about the universal link, thank you!

Edited the post.

It now has workspaces (it’s called servers in Discord) and there you can have chats, which are basically channels like in Discord.

The Lemmy devs? I’d suggest to read what they actually write. They are good guys.

I also don’t think it matters. For example, I don’t really like the behavior of the Duckstation dev. It’s a PS1 emulator. But I don’t have to agree with him in order to use it.

It’s a shame to see that people think of Lemmy creators as some sort of villains.

I created my account on .ml before the Reddit blackout, but there wasn’t much content there, so I didn’t use it much. I properly started using it after the “Reddit blackout,” and that’s when I learned about the so-called “tankie problem.” I’ve met people with weird opinions, but the developers and Marxists in general aren’t bad people. People just usually make a strawmen to argue against.

Anyway, none of their opinions are reflected in the software. Lemmy is done in a truly democratic and user-oriented way, and I respect them for it.

I’m not sure about the better UX. Take a look at the recent code analysis: https://lemmy.ml/post/42415919/23662293

I think the current behavior is very confusing. Unless you’re an instance admin, you don’t know whether these features are enabled or not.

Maybe add Matrix as a Discord alternative?

I think what the commenter above is trying to say is that they are getting tired of seeing Lemmy users pointing fingers at each other. Most of us are clearly passionate about FOSS and hate capitalism. Otherwise, why would we have joined Lemmy?

All these “tankies” and “libs” have lost all meaning. Many times, I’ve seen people simply make up shit from both sides about what libs/tankies think, and then just make fun of it. It’s not productive.

I’m not talking about you. I think your replies are very reasonable. But I think I can relate to the commenter’s feelings.

Ah, makes sense!

The quoted comment is for a different post: https://lemmy.ml/post/42339089/23675448

So I was surprised to see it being mentioned here.

This is some LLM-level of analysis right there (Lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net are blocked from many instances, and people often lump lemmy.ml together into a triad, hence lemmy.ml must be automatically blocked as well!).

I’m the author of the comment you quoted, and even though you didn’t reply to me, I’d like to say that I assumed so because of this.

Edit: I was wrong about this, here is the default defederation list. For those who interested in what the linked part does, see https://lemmy.ml/post/42415919/23664761.

Lemmy users be like “why can’t we all get along…”, yet feel absolutely free to criticize every tiny aspect

I disagree with the previous commenter attitude. But personally I don’t think it’s bad to discuss things we don’t like if the discussion is healthy.

ignoring how e.g. lemmy.ml kicks people out of communities

Who is ignoring it? I think it was widely discussed on the Fediverse.

I kinda like how 8BitDo looks with clear cases:

• https://www.8bitdo.com/retro-r8-mouse-xbox/
• https://www.8bitdo.com/sn30-pro-g-classic-or-sn30-pro-sn/

You’re right, interesting 🤔

Link to the comment for more context: https://lemmy.ml/post/42339089/23619001

The problem with grabbing small snippets of code is a lot of context is lost.

To me, it was obvious that these parts were configurable. There were literally boolean checks for it.

But these features remind me Reddit. And I’m pretty sure most users simply unaware about these things enabled on the .social instance.

What’s sad is that since lemmy.ml is blocked by default, most PieFed users won’t see it.

Damn, you’re right!

Now I’m not sure how to feel. I like the Big Picture UI, but hate when people use browser to draw UI in applications 😅
