At some point I have to start wondering if Putin pays these sorts of people.

    Tankies haven’t learned that ignoring things to reduce visibility tend to be more effective censorship than creating a streisand effect.

    That’s how the west learnt to do deal with it. Manipulate it in the backend, not the front, and if caught, blame it on a bug.

    I like it here on lemmy. But people like this being main devs leaves sour taste to it

      Now i recall why there’s a push against migrating to lemmy when reddit blackout happened. I thought it doesn’t really matter, turns out they’re right.

      I think a lot of people are going to switch to piefed once that gets more fleshed out. It federates with all lemmy but has a different and more open dev team working on it. They already have a bunch of cool features lemmy is currently lacking.

          In many ways they already are ahead. The front end is a bit wonky though, and some of the foundational features are still catching up (it’s fully functioning though).

          For one thing, they have “categories” of communities, and for another I can block all users from any instance I choose - though there is really no easy way to accomplish that while still on Lemmy proper.

          But like when you upvote something, later it remembers that but won’t show you the color. The interface is really pretty though, and solves several of the issues I had with Lemmy, like another one is that you can turn on viewing or both the upvote and separate downvote counts, which for Lemmy iirc you can only see that for comments, but for posts that only shows on the mobile site yet not on the desktop for some reason.

          The PieFed devs are super responsive, quite extraordinary so imho. It’s like they care or something (uh… cause they do, ofc!:-).

          So especially since Lemmy is not perfect either, check out both Mbin and PieFed and just see them in action without an account, just for the fun of it.:-)

    The thread the comment was in. Seemed like a very relevant question.

    Note that dessalines isn’t even a moderator of the community, but a lemmy.ml instance admin. Instance rule 1 is related to bigotry, so according to Lemmy dev dessalines, it’s bigoted to ask the russian population if they are oppressed or support their country invading ukraine.

      That’s mod rule 1. Admin rule #1 is “Don’t get visited by the KGB”.

      Maybe we shouldn’t hang out on servers where Russia has jurisdiction.

      Not my comment. I was just scrolling through the modlog because I got bored and was (unfortunately not suprised) by this questionable ML modding decision

        Ah so it was just a typical “.ml bad hurr durr” post. Sorry, I thought it was something important.

          Well to me it’s important that the main lemmy dev blantantly removes anything questioning Russia’s imperialist war in Ukraine but suit yourself.

            I mean what implications would it have for Lemmy if their main dev became affiliated with possibly sanctioned Russian companies, probably wouldn’t mean good things for Lemmy as a project and since Sublinks is nowhere near there yet that could mean big problems for the Forums side of the Fediverse.

      instance rule 1 is no bigotry.

      Since dessalines is not a mod but an instance admin I assume that’s the justification for the removal.

      “Open-ended question”

      Edit: Why you two downvoting this? I literally just quoted the rule to answer their question. lol

        I think the instance reason was why it was removed. Otherwise that would be extremely weird enforcement of open ended questions rule. Enforcing it on a random comment, while the original post itself is a single yes/no question…
