    @goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org

    @Skavau@piefed.social

    Apologies for the ping but I’m banned from lemmy.ml – I don’t use alt accounts to manipulate votes, that’d be mighty hypocritical of me. I actually very rarely downvote comments I respond to.

    All my accounts are always just goat, sometimes I have numbers. At the moment my accounts are this one and @goat@reddthat.com

    If you have evidence of someone brigading, do let me know, and I’ll punish them accordingly.

    Recently had someone argue Palestine isn’t genocide because the Arab population in Israel is going up.

    Any obsession with birth rates is a red flag for brain worms, as surely as talking about skull shape.

    Lemmy is a poisoned seed. Besides the questionable lead developers, you have the most popular lemmy instances enforcing rules arbitrarily while lying about it and removing entries from the modlog arbitrarily making them all but useless. At least it will be a good exercise in determining how well its federated nature allows it to survive.

    Given how often it has happened, I’d say it’s the fate of these sort of migrations from other major social networks to be spearhead by lying opportunists and people trying to hide their flaws through abuse of power. Unfortunately, social networks are far removed from the time when the people doing the spearheading where acting as good faith developers exploring what was possible - they’d probably be among the first to get gaslit and DDOSed.

          I know of at least one Hexbear who has moved to China.

          Allow me to make an analogy: Millions of left-liberals in the United States hold up Canada as a model country that they would like to live in, yet comparatively few (perhaps 1 in 1000) ever make the move.

          Does that prove that those liberals are insincere in their admiration, that they secretly consider Canada to be a “shithole” country and only pretend otherwise for the sake of political posturing? No! It’s because permanently immigrating to any country is extremely difficult at best, and frequently impossible.

          Countries do not just give out citizenship to people who ask politely. It usually requires some kind of employer sponsorship. Think of the millions of people who literally live in the United States right now and want citizenship but can’t get it.

          Now take all of those difficulties involved in a move across the border to Canada and multiply them by at least two, and you have some idea of the practical barriers to moving to a place like China, a country much farther away with a much different language which gives out fewer employer sponsorships.

          You can find more answers in our recent discussion of the topic here.

            Why are you linking threads that we can’t post on? Are you stupid?

            Also, here’s something to put a fold into your otherwise smooth brain. Why is it that liberals are the only political position that routinely gives rights and recognition to minorities, for example, the civil rights movement and recognition of queer identity? The authoritarians that you jizz yourself over have absolutely no incentive to ever recognise such groups, in fact, they routinely oppress them because being a minority is a threat in such shitholes.

            Just a coincidence they spontaneously parrot all of Putin’s talking points?

            Nah, I’m not saying they’re all Russian, but they’re clearly compromised somewhere. A lot of somewheres.

              They’re what the Soviet Union referred to as “useful idiots”. They parrot Russian propaganda because they like the aesthetics. They aren’t all Russians themselves. In fact, I would be willing to bet most aren’t.
