It is sad that the lead Lemmy developer is such a terrible person, Lemmy itself is pretty great.

  I am concerned about what makes it to the hot "all" page since the last update though.

  Says you, the mod that regularly removes posts for the remotest suggestive violence against a man who is so deprived of any human decency he is the most violent indirect machine gun of our modern era, killing and displacing hundreds if not thousands daily with taxpayer money. And guys like you with your hands waving up and down “calm calm now people, there may be a moment and time for a violent overthrow of this guy, but that moment isn’t now and that place isn’t here”
  Pardon my French, but in my book you’re on the same level as the Lemmy devs.

  Oh? Anything specific that you have noted?

  Hey, your account is two hours old, you clearly created it just to piss people off, someone with such an empty life as you seem to have should find something better to fill it with.

  At least he's not in Ukraine thinking he will win the war on Russia's side...

"This is discrimination of the worst kind: the kind against me!" - What Dessalines thinks everytime he bans someone with "Resson: Rule 1."

Bro, Russia, under the banner of USSR, tried to coerce China into joining USSR and effectively becoming a puppet state, losing sovereignty. They brought up the topic of WW2 "aid" they provided during the war of resistance against Japanese Imperialism, and demanded repayment because of the worsening relationships (aka: "Sino-Soviet Split"), there were talks (rumors?) of imminent invasion, so PRC had to do nuclear tests to scare them off. A lot of resources like apples, for example, were sent over the border I guess as sort of "repaying debts"(?) in the meantime as diplomacy continued.
This was an account of events told by my father who was living in China at the time; while the West and USSR had a Cold War, there was another cold war between the Soviets and China.
If China didn't finish developing the nuke, I'm pretty sure Soviets would've invaded.
Like... imperialism isn't just a East vs West, Capitalist vs Communist thing, they even do that to their own (former) allies.
As much I dislike CCP, I'm kinda glad they managed to finish developing the nuke to deter Soviet aggression, more balance in the world and that Asia didn't get entirely gobbled up by Soviets.
(Although I do wonder, what would a Soviet-Occupied China look like? Probably even worse suffering than current timeline? Idk...)

  Yeah, Ukraine should never have given up their nukes, but hindsight is 20/20. Would have been a lot easier to tell putler to fuck off now.
  Also, I imagine China would have just been transformed into a bunch of disjointed regions and the population reshuffled all over the USSR, like they did with most other non-russian ethnicities ever since the actual empire era.

  Ukraine was under a Russian friendly government when it return weapons on loan from Russia to the Russians. This was an agreement lobbied for by the US as part of a condition for Ukraine joining Western economic trade.
  This was never a choice in any material sense. No more than the Cubans giving back the missiles they had staged during the Kennedy crisis (or Turkiye giving back their Jupiter missiles in turn).

  I'm honestly surprised China hasn't "invaded" Ukraine. Not to fight, or take territory. Just to sit on the border and defend. While at the same time sending a very public message to putin. Back off, or fight us, and start a war with China.
  Now after having their military shredded down over the last 3 years, russia doesn't have the resources to fight China. But putin's ego won't let him back down. So now russia engages Ukraine, and in doing so, starts a war with China.
  China then steamrolls russia and just takes all their land. You'd have a fresh modern military that hasn't had it's military fighting for years, vs a worn down depleted hanging on by a thread military that's also full of corruption and rot from the inside. A military that had to cancel a parade last year because they didn't physically have the tanks.
  It would essentially be free real estate for China to take. The united states wouldn't try to get involved directly in their war. Because it's still two nuclear armed militaries. Russia wouldn't nuke China, because 1) their own nukes probably don't work, but that info only becomes available if you attempt to use them, and 2) it would prompt a swift nuclear reaction from China.
  And China isn't going to nuke russia because 1) They can't innitiate the nuking and still be supported by outside nations as "the good guy" (and China would be trying to push that narrative HARD), 2) China in general is very anti-nuke. It's not in their nature to use that unless it's a last resort, and 3) They don't have to. Take nukes off the table, and I think China today EASILY steamrolls through Russia in about a month.
  So I don't get why China doesn't put defensive armys inside Ukraines borders. Then wait to get attacked as a premeditation for going to war with Russia. Then taking huge chunks of land.
  
  pelespirit @sh.itjust.works 4d ago
  Over expansion, language issues and russians would be a hard population to control like they do China? Those are my guesses.

  Something something land war in Asia.
  The CCP is a lot of things, but they ain't dumb.
  
  Warl0k3 @lemmy.world 3d ago
  China is supplying Russia with material aid during this conflict - they get to profit from the war while russia collapses economically plus continue their economic and political war with Europe practically unopposed (the US dropped out and Russia isn't really in good shape to be compeition anymore) and all without having to address the issue of the millions of refugees nor the logistics of maintaining an occupying force in the largest least hospitable country in the world.

I blocked that idiot after seeing just 1 comment and checking their history.
Hildegarde @lemmy.blahaj.zone 3d ago
Wait, if dessalines is the main lemmy dev, who is nutomic? I've heard many things about nutomic, who is the user credited on the github. Are they different people or one person with two names?
- cm0002 @lemmy.zip 3d ago
  Nutomic is like the second in command and word around the cooler is hes the one that does the bulk of the coding work. They definitely have shared values, with the exception of his transphobia.
  He doesn't do a whole lot as far as admining .ml goes so isn't featured as much or ever actually now that I think about it
arcterus @piefed.blahaj.zone 3d ago
I blocked the OP of that post shortly after they made their account. They basically post a daily or near daily mix of propaganda articles and propaganda memes with a few normal memes sprinkled in to look normal I guess. I've noticed that with a few of the popular .ml posters.

Yeah I blocked it yesterday after I got scolded for suggesting that all the soviet symbolism turns people off and hinders the progress of modern socialist/communist movements whose policies would otherwise be quite popular.
azertyfun @sh.itjust.works 2d ago
With this and other projects like Hyprland I do wonder what the right thing to do is. Like, the project would probably be better served if the governance was not dickheads. But they make decent products for free. The community could fork with a better governance model and just continuously merge the work from the "problematic" people involved, but that seems like a lot of work for very little gain.
At the same time I would not want to get very involved with community development efforts led by people who do not share my core values, and I'm probably not alone, so we're probably missing out on opportunities by keeping the status quo.

I heard before that instance bans make it so that the users can't see my posts and comments made after the ban even on other instances communities. Is this true? Or was it just wild speculation from years ago when nobody knew how _{king crimson} lemmy worked?
- cm0002 @lemmy.zip 4d ago
  If you've been site banned from .ml, then .ml users will not be able to see you. There is also a way to site-ban a user in a way that they also won't be able to see your content prior to the ban issuance as well. Called a siteban with purge
  
  Ricky Rigatoni @retrolemmy.com 3d ago
  Why didn't I do this years ago.
  Probably because I don't actually care enough to go through with the effort.
