I studied physics at university, I also had the opportunity to visit Fukushima Daichi after the catastroph and one of the new EPR. Enrichied fuel used in nuclear power plants and the byproducts of the reactions are dangerous. The multiple security measures are not there for the pleasure of spending budget.

Houston, we ovo problem.

The consequence of this legitimate fear is crazy security and the cost of it. To the point where the cost of new nuclear now struggles to compete with renewables. The new generation plants EPR are catastrophic in terms of budget and schedule.

Now you have upgraded to a more limited number of rich assholes with even more concentrated power. Oh wait, a couple of decades later they reintroduce capitalism too.

You don’t need to create an instance (requires server administration skills), just a community (requires a few clicks). On the top right menu, there should be a create community entry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie You’ll start noticing those opinions mainly from specific instances. If it’s not your thing, don’t hesitate to block communities, users, or whole instances before giving up. You can use Lemmy the way you like.

Just go to whatever instance url and you can see what’s on this instance as well as what’s on the instances it federated with. No need to login for reading. You are logged in lemmy.world so check jlai.lu for example.

I think you are overestimating the capacity and will of advertisers to actually identify people like that. The data may be available for it in theory, but it’s unlikely they built the systems to make it happen because they don’t really have much economical interest to do so. They care about market segments, not individuals.
I had to work a bit on this kind of things. Most of those systems are really shitty and ineffective.

Feels quite secondary to the “I have the biggest” contest that we saw later with cathedrals and now skyscrapers.

To be honest my first thought was that they were riding the feminism wave to market their religion. But I have not researched it much.

For me it will be shihan.

I think he explained the trans related instances were not blocked because trans but because their admins did not moderate the calls for violence he wanted to filter.

I could understand his initial intention of having some kind of nsfw filter for radical opinions, even though the implementation was questionable. And I was honestly sad about the shit storm that hit him. Too many people here pretend to be more respectful and empathetic than average, but will happily dogpile to get a piece of a person given the right momentum.
But this ddos code is hard to defend, it goes against his own initial intention. He should have walked away before reaching this point.
Can we avoid adding new events to this sad chain of events now?

This reminds me I was stopped in the street a few years ago by someone explaining some newer Korean Christian based religio/sect which believes that there are two images of God, the father and the mother, as humans were created in God’s image. I think it is this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Mission_Society_Church_of_God

French has a specific quirk (one among a metric ton of others) with this subject. The country and the country’s people names get a capital, but the nationality adjective does not.

Les Anglais d’Angleterre sont des personnes anglaises.

The English from England are English people.

I think it may also be the case for all Romance languages.

À mon avis beaucoup moins grave que ce que le scandale laisse pensé. J’ai posté mon analyse ici: https://jlai.lu/post/40897719/22278834

Je recommande de lire les explications du dev avec une tête froide, en évitant la vindicte populaire déclenchée par db0, pour comprendre ses motivations.

D’après ce que je comprends, le dev voulait faire de son projet une interface plus safe pour rendre Lemmy plus accessible à la moyenne (genre filtre nsfw, mais pour les propos politiquement radicaux). Le radicalisme étant défini par lui comme les appels à la violence ou au meutres, très communs sur Lemmy (par exemple contre les patrons ou les colons israéliens, pour les plus fréquents). Le genre de propos qui ne sont pas non plus légaux dans la plupart des démocraties. Je vous rappelle que jlai.lu a été victime d’utilisateurs souhaitant que les attentats islamistes à Paris adviennent de nouveau et que cela nous à mener à nous défédérer de certaines instances.

Toujours d’après lui, les (une ou deux?) instances queer n’ont pas été bloquées parce que queer, mais parce que leurs admins ne modèrent pas ce genre d’appels à la violence quand ça va dans leur sens (gauche radicale).

Maintenant, ce qui est à mon avis l’aspect le plus objectivement questionable c’est l’implémentation relativement cachée des blacklists (ça reste un fichier open source accessible par tout le monde). D’après lui, cette implémentation est ainsi pour éviter qu’elle ne soit trop facile à contourner. À mon avis, être visible, claire et facile à modifier par admin, depuis le début, même si politiquement orienté, aurait été mieux.

En outre, c’est un logiciel libre, par un type qui y a passé des jours de travail gratuitement parce qu’il est probablement passionné par le Fediverse et qu’il voulait contribuer. Libre à chacun de l’utiliser ou non, et de l’adapter à ses besoins.

Est-ce qu’au final, cela mérite vraiment le harcèlement, le lynchage et les accusations de transphobie et de fascisme qui ont déferlé depuis?

Personnellement ça me fait surtout désespérer de pouvoir avoir des conversations raisonnables sur Lemmy. J’avais déjà failli quitter Lemmy à mes débuts avant de comprendre le phénomène tankie et de les bloquer largement. Mais le radicalisme et l’agressivité continuent de transpirer un peu partout sur Lemmy.

Those communities often don’t work because things that are actually unpopular here will get down voted, only a few very tame unpopular opinions may survive. It’s just incompatible with popularity votes.

I’m just glad we could have a conversation about this without one calling the other fascist as it happens too often here.

The wiki doesn’t help because there is no common thread between the groups listed, and they aren’t all comunist. Like, iran? The article goes on to talk about modern russia. That’s not communist either. The only thing I can find in common is that they are not “western”.

I think it implies a sort of connection in this way: Marxism -> opposition to capitalism -> opposition to countries championing capitalism such as the USA -> defending organizations who oppose USA -> defending Islamist organizations or current Russia.

I have observed those thoughts combined within instances that claim to be Marxist on Lemmy. Have you not?

I believe all human rights abuse are bad whatever the ideology or absence of it. But maybe it’s even more depressing when it comes from an ideology base that claims to be in favor of the oppressed people. It’s also most visible from the leftist side here, because far right instances are more unanimously ostracized. I never saw them in my feed personally, probably due to admins early filtering.
