Lemmy.ml continues to allow misinfo/propaganda sites "articles" so long as it's Russia-aligned/anti-west while removing good credible news sources. Instances that federate with them help their spread


This is what the admins of .ml cultivate, as documented in the megathread

Credible sources removed just within the last day: lemmy.world/post/32298242 lemmy.world/post/32426343

.ml is not much different than the rest of the Triad, continued federation with them is continuing to allow them to spread toxic misinformation and behavior across the Threadiverse.

If you're an instance admin, please consider defederation.

Users, consider joining the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance.

Other wonderful content, and this is just from when I looked at the local new feed a bit ago:

Classic RT I'm sure you all know and Pravda.ru "Pravda Report"


Documentation of Lemmy.ml's Extremism [Megathread]


Good job everyone blocking and boycotting .ml! It's having an effect, users are noticing and MAUs on their comms are falling!

And for anyone asking "Why are we boycotting/blocking lemmy.ml?" Here's a quick recap:

Lemmy.ml is an instance run by admins who are hardcore tankies and will enforce their ideology on their instance through various means from allowing (and pushing it themselves) propaganda (Such as Russia being justified in some way to invade Ukraine) and known propaganda outlets (Like RT) to removing content on their instance critical of their favored authoritarian regimes such as Russia or China and even banning users for such speech or speech critical of them if it's off their instance (Just like the Reddit mods of ol!).

If it was just some random instance it would have been defederated from long ago like the rest of the "Tankie Triad" (Hexbear and Lemmygrad), but they've positioned lemmy.ml as the "flagship" instance and abused that position and influence to become large enough to keep other instances from defederating from them.

Which I believe is harmful to the Lemmy-verse's overall growth and outside reputation. I have seen it come up before on Reddit threads (and other testimonials from people who came back and tried it again) that "They tried Lemmy but it was a bunch of tankies and went back to Reddit"

I don't know about you, but I'd prefer Lemmy to not end up with the reputation for being "Tankie Central " or even worse "Voat 2.0".

So if you haven't joined the boycott yet, join today and help us foster a better healthier Lemmy-verse!

I don't think it was on the support comm, but they did respond on a thread about it once on why they don't defed from them like they did the other 2.

It boiled down to 3 things: big comms, official Lemmy support comms and the fact the devs rolled out instance blocking tools

The 1st one, I'm hopefully solving with my cross-posting and calls for boycotting, the third one is by calling attention to the fact that it doesn't work as one would think. Pretty sure everyone thought block meant block when it was being discussed.

Racist AI-generated videos are the newest slop garnering millions of views on TikTok

These videos — seemingly created with Google’s Veo 3, a publicly accessible text-to-video generator — traffic in racist tropes, such as depicting Black people as monkeys and criminals and featuring imagery of Black people with watermelons and fried chicken.

Yesterday I accidentally learned about how vitamin C can help prevent histamin intolerance reactions such as blisters and rash.

I was curious as to what exactly are in the blisters that itch so terrible. Which led me from one thing to another, apparently there are some over the counter compound that help digesting histamin without the intolerant reactions.

And then it is casually mentioned. Or U can try vitamin C since that will help the body digest histamine.

Probably cheaper than medicine.

— I also struggle with histamine issues (thanks, alpha-gal). I need to try adding more vitamin c into my diet! (Or find a good powder that’s gentle on my tummy and free of magnesium stearate.)

Unfortunately, citrus fruits, although low in histamine, are histamine liberators, so I can only eat them in small amounts or I get symptoms. It works pretty well though for me to combine citrus with an antihistamine fruit like blueberries or grapes.

"Because the greatest obstacle to dictatorship is an educated populace. Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.

That’s why slave owners prohibited enslaved people from learning to read, fascists burn books, and tyrants close universities.

In their quest to destroy democracy, Trump, Vance, and their cronies are intent on shutting the American mind."

DPRK has built over 80,700 housing units in 1,500 rural villages, promoting the effort as a key achievement of its “Rural Revolution” initiative.

Over 20,000 rural homes are currently under construction, including those slated for completion this year, and tens of thousands of farmers will soon move into new residences.

I hate how clearly I can hear every heartbeat. If I get scared/nervous/etc., being able to loudly hear my heart racing only increases those feelings.

And when my heart goes through phases where it’s skipping lots of beats, especially when I’m trying to go to sleep, it’s very disconcerting. (Despite docs saying my heart stuff is “normal/benign”.)

My tinnitus (and problems with my balance) started just after a tetanus shot in 2017. 😒

@MountainJay @Haleakalacrater @Lori @maxburn
I don't experience tinnitus often, but I definitely feel ya on hearing your own heartbeat too much. I can actually FEEL my thoughts influencing my blood pressure, evident in the tingling of extremities if I'm anxious. I try to distract myself. Naming prime numbers or repeating something like the lord's prayer helps to calm the menopausal "lightning" (that's what I call those weird tingly rushes).

I'd agree with that, no matter what we did it would be bad but it went fron bad to impossible and our fate was sealed in the electon rounds of the last couple of years where; the UK, Europe, NZ, Australia, Canada and the US all elected climate deniers once again.

Emsisions will plummet by onwky when civilisation falls apart.

All we've done is descend into violence and shitfuckery like small children arguing in a sandpit over the toys. Two decades or so ago Id held out hope the crisis would unite us but voters in democracies have dashed all hope again and again.

Οι 15 πτήσεις του ισραηλινού στρατού στην Αθήνα.
Από @reporters_gr

Από τις 15 ώς τις 24 Ιουνίου, δηλαδή στο διάστημα της επίθεσης Ισραήλ και ΗΠΑ κατά Ιράν, 15 φορές μεταγωγικά αεροπλάνα της Ισραηλινής Πολεμικής Αεροπορίας πέταξαν από τη στρατιωτική βάση Χατζόρ στο κεντρικό Ισραήλ -εφαλτήριο για τις επιχειρήσεις του IDF στη Γάζα- στο αεροδρόμιο Βενιζέλος στην Αθήνα, με άγνωστο φορτίο. Τόσο η ελληνική κυβέρνηση όσο και η ισραηλινή πρεσβεία αρνούνται να δώσουν εξηγήσεις για τις πτήσεις. Νέα έρευνα του Reporters United -με τη χρήση δεδομένων εναέριας κυκλοφορίας- τεκμηριώνει για μία ακόμα φορά τη συνεργασία των κυβερνήσεων Μητσοτάκη – Νετανιάχου.
