I made it clear I’d provide any answers to questions or functions or syntax they needed (because IRL they’d just google, so I’ll save them the time).

That right there is the difference between a shit interviewer and a golden interviewer. And that goes for a lot of technical roles, far too many just throw a “whiteboard” at you and just expect you to figure it out without any outside help, even though it goes against how even experts get things done in the real world :/

You could drop the probably lol

Each link is

• Supported by a screenshot
  • of the in-thread context
  • of the mod log entry
• Contains links
  • To the thread for addl context (where possible)
  • To the modlog entry (where possible)
  • To any additional supporting context (e.g. an article explaining why [Y] source is misinformation)

Titles are appropriately interpretive, as is anything else in this world.

For example, how else would you interpret dessalines posting this in reply to someone

As something else as “If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics”

Oh hey look! Fellow new years baby!

Hi! Np, it was crossposted because the community you posted to is on an instance run by authoritarians who propagate Russian propaganda about Ukraine, deny the many China human rights violations and declare the NK isn’t actually totalitarian amongst other things

See below for examples and a megathread documenting it

Don’t link to or participate on Lemmy.ml, join the boycott today!

Cross-posted as part of ongoing boycotting/protest efforts to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize and drive non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because of the behavior and attitudes of the .ml instance admins (see megathread link above)

Some highlights from the link:

Dessalines, head .ml admin, lead Lemmy dev actively spreading genocide denialism https://sh.itjust.works/post/61371958

“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

“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, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

Showing support for Ukraine on .ml is worthy of a site ban - dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/32775563

I think I understand your comment for the most part, so if that’s the case, why do you contribute to .ml at all if you’re already against his authoritarian ideologies?

There’s lots of general meme comms you can contribute to that are off-world as well (I think a lot of us are also now avoiding posting to .world, I for one have completely cut myself off from posting there) besides this one there’s

!memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com

!memes@slrpnk.net

!memes@reddthat.com

And !memes@lemy.lol

I did because VOY is my fav lol, season 6 episode 15 where 7 and Tuvok get kidnapped and forced to compete in combat matches to the death (well Tuvok doesn’t because he was critically injured)

Iirc it was his first acting gig before his actual “breakthrough” acting gig

Depends on what you want for the return, many see “returns” not just monetarily, but in making things like open source and the Linux ecosystem stronger and more secure for later down the line

Uhhh WUT

Didn’t they just release that B70 beast? Did it flop‽

Mr. Garrison?

Fuck Intel but Oracle first

Somebody somewhere is going to be devastated lol

Well their horse realtor told them ofc

OpenAI: Taps forehead Modern problems require modern solutions

I’m not sure catering to the opinions of random redditors is a useful approach, but that aside.

It was but a mere example

The Lemmy network and the Threadiverse at large being associated as just a Tankie hangout

Which would be solved by creating an instance (or building up an existing instance) that isn’t the triad.

In this case Rimu (PieFed dev) and others were quick to jump in and steer, so hopefully this whole boycotting/cross-posting campaign at the very least gives them more fuel when these comments come up on the outside something like “Tankies are there, but they don’t have any important comms so you can just block those 3 instances or join [x] instance which blocks them for you”

Which would also be solved with the same solution.

It could help, but it’s not a problem that any one solution is the solution. There’s going to be some combination of solutions to actually solve it.

1 sounds like artificially inflating the numbers

Not really, I might have a lot of accounts, but it’s still only 1 per instance so it’s not really inflating the numbers. Besides most go by monthly active users for gauging the Threadiverse health which because of my pattern I might not even make up 1 MAU lol

2 isn’t that useful IMO because without the actual content / ongoing engagement you just end up with multiple ghost communities.

I don’t just make them, I do my best to actively contribute to them, like I said I also post “organically sourced” content and not just crossposts for this very reason

3 i think the imposter problem is a user education error and/or could be better solved in a different manner.

Um I’m not sure how that would be a user education error? I’m talking about someone maliciously making an imposter account and posting heinous crap “in their name” But there is currently no technical solution on the Threadiverse afaik for it

4 this is what cross-posting is for right (though I’ll admit that experience is lacklustre right now)? You don’t need a whole account to cross-post between communities.

Nah crossposts are a solution for a different problem, 4 is for when an instance hasn’t federated with another instances remote comm yet and is therefore unknown to the instance

For example, I made this post to my comm at !gunnerkrigg@lemmy.cafe today from this toast.ooo instance I’m on rn

But toast.ooo never federated with that comm so as far as this instance knew !gunnerkrigg@lemmy.cafe didn’t exist until I manually went to the comm by URL (toast.ooo/c/gunnerkrigg@lemmy.cafe) and subbed to it

Until then nobody on this instance would have been seeing posts from that comm in their c/all/new/whatever feed, even if a post went “viral”. But now they will and for every other comm I sub to as I go

And that process happens a lot on these smaller instances I’m on, some will be missing even major comms like !pcgaming@lemmy.ca or !funny@sh.itjust.works

That’s what I mean by helping interconnect smaller instances
