Just some light dessalines .ml censorship this Sunday morning

I'm from South Korea. I hope dessalines would shut up about North Korea anything.
- One of the very first bans I caught on Lemmy was pointing out to some tankie that I actually have family in China, speak the language, and have been there many times, and was therefore more qualified to comment on Chinese politics than some edgy western teenager.
  
  What are your opinions on it?

Russia: Is imperialist settler-colonial regime that conquered and settled while genociding much of native siberian, kamchatka populations etc.
Dessalines: If you criticise Russia you are an imperial colonialist.
- tankie triadists: If you family members were genocided by russia, good. They were nazis.

The devs should be invisible if they want their project to succeed like a California wildfire. This hurts Lemmy's donations.
- Not necessarily a bad thing. There are multiple interoperable “threadiverse” platforms already. I like Lemmy currently but I’d happily switch to an alternative, and financially support them, if like the UX and the devs are less toxic.
  
  i'm really eying piefed as the future of this communication strategy

I kinda regret donating now lol
- Sadly this is why I did NOT donate. I've been on Lemmy since it was lemmy.ml and holy shit the hate I got. People calling me CIA for posting articles from NPR in a NEWS community. They have a right to believe what they want. Again, that's why I've moved to PieFed Social. Again, power of the Fediverse. If you don't agree with the route the devs are going, either work on your own, or support someone working on an alternative. Maybe it'll create silos, but those silos all work across each other, so not really unless they cut each other off. I'd rather support Rimu though personally.
- LMAO, if it's a recurring one just redirect it to your instance instead, let them have their small bump for the month lol
  
  I donated both to my instance when they asked and to the Lemmy dev team. I don't do monthly payments (subscriptions and donations) because I'm bad at organization and want to make it easy to keep track of my expenses.

May I recommend the wonderful Piefed.Social? :-)
- We have pie! And our main dev isn't participating in the "be the most cringe person on the Internet" contest!

> Hungary is excluded from the list
In general, I do agree that we must learn from the successes of past systems, but we also must learn from their failures, or else we're doomed to repeat them. Issue is, these people that are usually from western countries that like to pretend everything bad Stalin did is fake news by the capitalist class, just like our far-right likes to pretend many things the nazis did are just Stalinist propaganda to make everyone right of Lenin look bad.
Democracy is unironically good, and the main issue is politicians conning their voter base, not that we have the wrong kind of strongmen leaders in position.

The irony that most tankies are in the bubble.
- They what they are doing. I don't know or understand why but they can't be that delulu IMHO

Pay up, Lemmy, adminning is hard work!
- Or the devs could enjoy their communist utopia of being stuck working for free.

Lemmy is gonna get forked if this guy won't get a grip on himself
- If Lemmy was written in a more popular open source language it would have been long ago lol

looks at map
Greenland and Canada's Arctic Archipelago are presumably going to have to be pulling some double shifts on commenting.

instead of learning from their successes
- I thought we did. All the good things were implemented by many european and other countries. Some even before communists took over. But they're ignored and bad since they didn't murder millions.
