Is a video talking about China’s terrific business opportunities political?

Yes it is. And it’s not allowed. Would be banned. I have never seen anything remotely close to what you describe here. :)

I have seen a lot of that on Instagram, though. Instagram has a surprisingly broad tankie community!

Political content is entirely banned on the app so your assertion that it pushes political propaganda when it refuses to host anything political at all is kind of reactionary fake news.

i knew that damn owl was going to get involved in corporate lobbying at some point

Agree to all, but just to add clarity, there is existing Mandarin LGBT content that was posted prior to the US influx. If there is moderation of queer voices going on, it’s a a similar level to what we are already familiar with from Meta and TikTok, not significantly more.

correct, and i do think that is history that led to the eventual degradation of the threadiverse term. but the original meaning as i showed above was intended to label fediverse platforms in contrast to mastodon and other microblogs.

I sacrificed my soul to go over and check it out, immediately followed a bunch of LGBT creators of both US and Chinese locale. Nothing I followed or liked seems to have been removed yet, so just giving my two honest cents on that. The stuff that gets removed appears to be mainly Chinese politics and that’s it.

Is it the perfect protest solution? Naw.

Is it better than Musk and Zuckerberg getting a shit ton of free revenue from their corruption? Yea.

Is it funny as fuck? YUPP LMAO

Even when there is polling people tend to ignore it so, yeah. Good on these guys for doing the measurements that prove what we can already guess.

i agree (and this comment here)

me, here take your own hehe

It’s insane how much we have grown! I think I literally have memories of being there, seeing your very post two years ago and thinking “yo it’s the gal from the shark instance!”

And that post only has 32 upvotes to date. :0 I’ve now switched to an instance that doesn’t even interoperate with .ml anymore and time keeps flying. XD

I want to give a shoutout to @maegul@lemmy.ml who invented the term here:

So, my lame contribution …

Threadiverse!: “Social media, but woven into threads, like Reddit or Forums, not like the chaos of Twitter, but all on the Fediverse so you can find anyone else doing anything else too.”

Sorry your cool name got immediately swamped by the Zucc 😅

i see this a lot but this is a misconception. “threadiverse” originally was a term to describe the “threaded fediverse” i.e. Reddit-like platforms like Lemmy and kbin. Bluesky and Threads are not threadiverse because they operate on the microblog model not the threaded link aggregation model. this usage has nothing to do with the then non-fediverse related Meta project “Threads” and can be seen predating it.

ah i see where you said that. bit confusingly written but you are correct.

If we’re talking regular atmospheric air that has oxygen in it, blowing air can absolutely amplify a flame by providing oxygen to replace air that has already been burned. It’s very common to blow on camp fires to add heat, for example.

LOL XD Jokes aside it’s interesting how the dark mode thing becomes more of a symbol than anything in certain communities. Obviously the science shows pros and cons both ways, but there’s an implicit in group/out group about it. I might compare it to turning off your autocaps on Tumblr.

While you may be right about the boots thing that doesn’t stop me from thinking your obstinacy is a bit of a reach and looks embarrassing XD

it’s a sad but understandable pattern im seeing too

far too many “surprised pikachu jpg” responses in comments sections. when this is a really valuable opportunity to talk about how we can communicate how the republican party has failed its constituents, we are relapsing to just “you are dumb for not predicting this.”

not exactly sure how to communicate the better course of action but im trying.

With peace and love: All the comments saying this should reconsider next time. Saying “duh” to oppression normalizes oppression.

The worst most bigoted most bootlicking red-voting person you know is happy chatting about the evil that is H1Bs and how we are annexing Greenland and Panama right now. They need to hear that the person they voted in has dropped his support for helping them through their struggles to feed themselves.

Generally, we are all saying “duh” to the wrong things. All the top comments here are “duh” while no one yada yada’d the Greenland annexation theatrics.

Again I am being blunt so no hate to you specifically, you are just the top comment representing a larger pattern.

democrat leadership will see this and think “damn! they are on to us we have to lie and scheme even harder at the expense of human dignity next time!”

“mandatory ML post”ing from months ago just makes this community a place to content farm and not actually put forward novel discussion i fear
