Lemmy.world blocks piracy

Ez win for lemm.ee

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (15 children)

I wish lemm.ee would block Hexbear. Fuck capitalism, but those people are nuts. They make MAGAts look good.

EDIT: I used to be an active member of /r/LateStageCapitalism until I left reddit for good, but go ahead and keep assuming things about me.

[–] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (8 children)

no we don't, you're just mad you aren't the noblest position possible and you lash out at us when we critique you from the left.

"I'm all for socialism as long as it looks and feels just like capitalism and all the inhuman death and killing that comes along with it because at my heart I'm a selfish self centered lib who is quite happy to see minorities and working class people domestically and abroad killed to maintain my cushy standard of living. Read a book and learn what actual socialism and leftism means? No chance, I use my paper thin knowledge of politics and my middle of the road positions to impress whoever listens to me because I know nobody cares enough to Google why I'm a liar when I talk about politics, and demonising actual leftists as extremists gives my vapid centrist soc dem takes more clout with everyone huffed up on anti communism and crypto fascism these days. Sadly for me hexbear do know more than me and call me out for being the bloodthirsty callous lib I am and it makes me piss my pants and cry when it happens because I don't want to take any social responsibility for the exploitation i benefit from waah"

Or something to that effect.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Uh no. Quit putting words in my mouth.

See my reply to the person you just replied to, cause I don't feel like typing this shit out twice.

But you expect everyone to read your bullshit (which I did BTW). Hypocrite.

It's funny how for those who Hexbear is to their left, always use the critique of "they're crazy" then compare us to right wingers without fail.

Absolutely no actual critique and the typical liberal understanding of politics that "there are only two teams, and if you're not on mine then you're on theirs"

Please read a book

God I am glad that emojis are broken right now. I never want to see more poopy pig balls, especially from people who lib is the far right.

[–] SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

liberals have universally allied with fascists over communists. the liberals in the Weimer Republic put Hitler in power, to give but one example. Churchill admired Hitler.

Both liberals and fascists agree that capitalism is the bee's knees, they agree that most things should be privatized, they agree that people must be exploited by an elite. There's a common saying - "If you scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds," meaning that the second you exert even the slightest violence towards liberals or threaten to do so, they suddenly turn into fascist monsters, seemingly out of nowhere! Macron in France is a good current-day example - the riots have prompted him to turn France into ever more of a police state in which the pigs have unbelievable powers and surveillance. When America has been provoked by actions (many of which didn't even actually happen, e.g. the Gulf of Tonkin, the Nayirah testimony, etc (or those that did happen but didn't need to provoke an entire invasion in response, like 9/11) they start wars that kill hundreds of thousands, even millions.

It's actually hard to describe exactly where liberals and fascists have opposing beliefs sometimes. I suppose where they differ is whether the cruelty should be more obscured or more out in the open? But you have to understand, the political dichotomy isn't and has never been "liberal vs conservative", because of those are on the side of the bourgeoisie in the class war. It's communists vs capitalists, and liberal, conservatives, fascists, even the more left-wing people in the American establishment like Warren and Bernie are on the side of the capitalists. We hold fundamental political beliefs that differ from liberals. Liberals do not differ in fundamental political beliefs from fascists. It's also why accusations of "horseshoe theory" are so hilarious to us.

especially from people who lib is the far right

Liberalism has always allied themselves with the far-right as an ideology that protects capital. We just know this because we read/study theory and have kept up with things going on around the world what with "liberals" and the "right" being quite similiar in views, especially recently. That being said,

:horsepoo-theory:

How exactly is "active" measured?

Logged in? Commenting? Posting? Net time spent on Lemmy?

I feel like the metrics need to be a bit more refined to actually make a qualified statement.

[–] fievel@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I cross posted this because I felt like it somehow belonged here. Now I see your point, I look at the site and nothing state how are computed the metrics, this should be clarified in my opinion (now the stat site is open source so you can check yourself if you want).

[–] coffee@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh I didn't mean to criticise you posting it, just wanted to question the source. Sorry if it came across that way.

[–] fievel@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

No issues at all :)

I switched off of world because I got tired of my feed only working about 30% of the time. It had been extremely normal, to the point where I can't recall the last bit of downtime. Don't underestimate the ability to actually view content on lemmy as a driving factor here...

[–] zoe@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

predicatble: lemm.ee is reliable: on the other hand shi.tjust.doesn't.work, and feddit.de has that walled garden beehaw vibe to it (tight moderation). i would predict discuss.tchncs.de would grow if it maintains good uptime record. also external factors could affect ranking like legal prosecutions when caching illegal content and ddos'es, like the other instances cant do much about those either

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

sh.it works pretty well for me

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm a fellow sh.ithead and we had one big outage but otherwise it's been pretty reliable.

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What happened to beehive or whatever?

[–] Bongles@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn't they defederate from some large instances until they get better moderation tools?

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No idea. Would that make them no longer a node?
