A group of Russian mercenaries betrayed Putin and now seems to be trying to overthrow him (though the mercenary group claims they're only fighting the leadership of the military)
From what I've heard the reaction is split. Some people want to federate as much as possible, other people are arguing that meta will screw over the fediverse (and I agree with the second group)
There's also some pact thing, fedipact if I recall correctly, to defederate from meta if it tries to join the fediverse
Really? Worse than fucking 4chan? I don't buy it
This could ruin every controversial sub on the site
I think this is the time to bring up the Umberto Eco quote:
"Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak."
-Ur-Fascism, by Umberto Eco
Tankie usually means someone who supports the authoritarianism of communist authoritarian nations. Occasionally it's also used to describe all communists
Communism is not considered hate speech, but it is commonly hated
Just to be clear here, I do think creating a space that is specifically safe for minorities is a good thing, and that trying to prevent or interfere with that is bad
As a progressive: the way people tend to use the term minorities (demographics which are marginalized on the basis of their identities) is practically a declaration of progressive political beliefs
honestly I figured it'd be the result of all those people running deletion scripts on their accounts
apparently I was wrong about it being in the sidebar, but the address is formulated like [email protected] in which anime is the community and lemmy.ml the instance

They come back online in the sense that they'll become visible again, but if they don't allow it to be used that's still basically shut down imo
It's nice and very active, but you might want to look up a tutorial or something, because the UI isn't very intuitive for new users (it's good once you know how it works though)
I guess I'm a furry? I have a furaffinity account but I'm not really active
I think that that warning was only supposed to show up in the profile settings
I'm not very familiar with Instagram either, but it's infamously bad for its users' mental health, it's recommendatiom algorithm is unreliable, and it collects a lot of data. Honestly it's possible that a lot of its regular users do like it and that I just don't tend to hear from them
Discord is a likely contender, but I think it's likely to be Instagram. It's got a very dissatisfied userbase, and there's already a few reasonably active pixelfed servers
Are you saying the ccp attacks people by messing up their third party apps? Or by giving bad AMAs?
