This is like a weird personal thing that I can’t even explain. For whatever reason, the Y axis becomes labelled as X in my mind in random situations. And I use charts (and other data visualizations a lot).

The funny thing is when I am thinking of X, I don’t have this urge to call it Y. If I am looking at horizontal, X is the first thing that comes to mind. But not with Y.

Yes, of course the Y axis.

I work with charts/vizualizations/data a lot, but for whatever reason I reflexively mistake X/Y a lot. It’s not even funny.

It was an error on my part.

To be fair, the Y-Axis doesn’t start from zero.

That being said, 10% account growth in 2 days is pretty solid. Let’s hope both account creation and engagement metrics (MAUs/DAUs) keep growing.

EDIT: Correct Axis type.

Nah, you’re just a vile genocide whitewashing scoundrel hiding under big words about “your propaganda”. We both know this.

When I see individuals like you, for some reason the fate of Donbas cowboy, Russell Bentley, comes to mind:

Bentley, whose military call sign was Texas, went missing in Donetsk in April.

According to the Investigative Committee, Vansyatsky, Agaltsev, and Iordanov tortured Bentley on April 8, and he died shortly afterward.

Vansyatsky and Agaltsev are suspected of blowing up a car with Bentley’s body in it and ordering Bazhin to get rid of what was left of his remains.

It’s a factual description. Far left supporters of russian/Chinese genocidal imperialism and authoritarianism.

I used tankie in the specific meaning of the word.

Far left individuals who white-wash the crimes of states like USSR (Russia), China, support authoritarianism and oppose self-determination for countries who suffer from the yoke of russian genocidal imperialism.

You’re just playing dumb.

In principle, this seems like a solid rule change.

However, considering that lemmy unfortunately has a large number of tankies, I could see how it could be abused lower the quality of discussion and spread tankie propaganda and genocide whitewashing.

Oligarch, not tycoon. Oligarch.

I have not, no. There are still some technology communities that are only present on ML. Outside of those, I do not interact with ML.

And what’s with your prima donna attitude? What exactly is the problem with calling out an instance run by genocide white-washing tankie scum?

I do use all the ML alternatives, but engagement is notably lower. I almost wish LW would just bite the bullet and defederate from ML.

Yeah, maybe more like top 100 for hexbear. I am on mobile too.

Where does it say “Lemmy doesn’t exist”? The admins of the site are well within their right to curate what service they include. I say this as someone who uses Lemmy a lot and really wants there to be a non-corporate, competition-focused alternative (instances, UIs) to reddit specifically and oligarch run social networks in general.

I don’t understand how “censorship” plays into this (beyond shallow polemical grandstanding). Where is the censorship?

Still many top tech communities (in their niche) are on ML. Open source, Linux, Privacy, Raspberry Pi, Firefox come to mind.

Several hexbear communities are also in the top 50.

How is this censorship though?

You can always start joinfediversefreespeechstan.io or whatever. The code is even available, no?

I could never understand american-style preference for “free speech” themed theatrics.

Excuse me?

Point 1 and 2 really need to be addressed.

It would be so much better if lemmy wasn’t developed by genocide white-washing tankies.

This is not economically viable concept.

I wonder if Biden has ever seen Idiocracy and what he thinks of it.

The lawsuit requested a jury trial and damages in excess of $75,000 (£60,100).

I wonder what the final damage figure was. As weird as this sounds, a more modest damage request would be notable. I am not saying Altman did or didn’t rape her, but one can’t deny the PR factor around this topic.

I think you give them too much credit.

From my time living in the US, I got the impression that local oligarchs’ personal beliefs are largely aligned with Trump (enabling corruption, oligarch capture of governance, avoiding responsibility for their actions).

However, one relatively unique thing that I noticed about US oligarchs is they tend to be very sensitive about PR and don’t like to get their hands dirty (in context of their internal worldview).

They align with Trump in terms of goals, but some may not like his style and presentation.

I would even argue that some US oligarchs may even see Trump’s approach as a “low probability, high impact” risk in that he may undermine faith in their rule.
