Ahh what TF bro got damnit
This take is dumb and people who perpetuate it have something wrong with them.

Lol, this has been floating around since at least 2016

If you’re just referring to me cross-posting it and not linking back, check the crosspost menu of your respective client
Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

41·4 months agoI just throw everything behind my reverse proxy and work on hardening that server and then wrapping authentication with Authentik SSO. Then I just block anything outside the US at CF. You really just need to worry about making it too difficult for the script kiddies and mass scanners. People with real skill are going to focus their time on businesses and other high value targets
But if I didn’t want to do all that, I already have a device management platform deployed out (ManageEngine Endpoint Central (free for up to 25 devices)) so I’d just enforce a VPN that way then they wouldn’t have to think about it
It’s the PS2 disc error screen, just before the actual disc read error message displays it does this little red animation. This is like the very beginning of that animation

Doesn’t seem like a SpongeBob episode, but judging how the modern seasons are… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Another big reason, a lot of the earlier PS2 models had a poor quality laser that would go bad really quick

131·5 months agoI don’t think the Threadiverse is big enough for it to matter in most cases, this comm is huge, but yet there were 3 posts all day yesterday to it
Plus, memes are perfectly capable of sparking serious discussions and questions to lol
Nobody knows it’s true power
Oh heh sorry this is what I get for being on Lemmy stoned AF past my bedtime 😅
I’ve thought about it, but it’s too unreliable, too expensive in the amount of money I’d want to spend on this on API credits and similarly for the capacity I have locally I have far more important local AI work to do atm, and even if I didn’t still to unreliable lmao
All my crossposts and posts are artisan human-hands-made
I have to be actually rather selective read all of it because I have to filter out all the propaganda/misinformation posts as well as to determine proper comm fit
Sorry about the reply delay, this instance has been…weird on the federation for comments and voting
It’s caused by my .ml crossposting activities coupled with posting my natural content that I personally enjoy. Like pretty much anything by me in the !retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org comm or the localllama comm
But I also noticed the unique affect it has, in both what I post and the content I digest lol Which honestly fits my personality than most would guess. I’ll do other things to break the norms of everyday life, like sometimes when ordering food I ask the order taker to just give me whatever their fav is lmao
Unfortunately, I do also have to be careful, there’s one user in particular who tends to post some concerning memes (as in depressing) from time to time and have to skip quite a few sometimes otherwise I’ll start getting messages from people asking me if I’m ok lol 😅

3·6 months agoIt’s better than credit cards IMO, you have a firm set amount of payments and amounts you need to make on a fim schedule (every 2 weeks) with no interest.
Properly managed, it’s a decent way to make big purchases without straining your savings to do it. E.g. you want to make a 600$ purchase and have the money saved for it, but why spend it all when you have a 0 interest way to split that up over time in line with your paychecks? Then you can keep that savings for something truly unexpected
Ofc it’s still debt short term or not, so if you’re horrible at managing debt it’s as bad as any other debt like Credit Cards



















Por que no los dos?
