  • Mastodon.world cancels famous German author Kazim's posts - now he left Mastodon completely

  • The rage baiting left-liberals? Yeah, I suppose 😏

  • Thanks. The selection of texts makes it clear that he has slowly moved from being a serious journalist to a pundit that publishes mostly opinion pieces that cater to conservative and latently racist audience and are likely also attempts at rage baiting left-liberals. Basically an opportunist exploiting the "also show the other side" bias of liberal media like the Spiegel and I would not be overly surprised if his next move is to support the far-right (the AfD is very open to opportunists with migration history or LG(BT), like Alice Weidel).

  • Ist halt ne wirklich dumme Verkürzung der Tatsachen, und wenn man sich so die Mehrheit der Kommentare in deutschsprachigen Onlinezeitungen anschaut dann könnte man auch denken die AfD hat 90% Zustimmung.

    Ich vermute mal der mastodon.world Moderator hatte keine Ahnung wer dieser Typ ist (ich hatte auch noch nie von dem gehöhrt), aber hat dauernd (vermutlich nicht ganz unbegründete) Beschwerden wegen Islamophobie bekommen.

    Edit: ups, sorry, I mistook this for a German speaking com.

    It’s just a really stupid oversimplification of the facts, and if you look at the majority of the comments in German-language online newspapers, you might even think the AfD has a 90% approval rating.

    I’m guessing the mastodon.world moderator had no idea who this guy is (I never heard of him either), but kept receiving complaints (presumably not entirely unfounded) about Islamophobia.

  • Should I bridge Whatsapp on Matrix? (Or alternatives to get on Whatsapp)

    Jump

  • If I remember correctly, Apple makes it really hard to bridge iMessage and they implemented some sort of hardware check and even disallowed older versions of MacOS or so. As usual, they really like to lock people into their ecosystem.

    P.S.: something is wrong with that link you shared.

  • What instance of Lemmy would you recommend to use, lemmy world or something else?

    Jump

  • Yeah, there is some issue on our end, but sadly it isn't clear what might be causing it.

  • PyLova v0.2.2 Released!

    Jump

  • It is afaik a Piefed fork that mainly removes some controversial features from it.

  • Some thoughts after 3 years on Lemmy

    Jump

  • I am not trying to sully anyone. I am just telling people to look it up themselves and make their own judgement 🤷 It's all based on what you wrote yourself, and apparently you have zero self-reflection on why people might ban you for what you wrote.

  • Some thoughts after 3 years on Lemmy

    Jump

  • For someone who apparently thinks of themselves as rational and scientific, you exhibit a real lack of curiosity to differentiate between correlation and causation as well as a naive notion to take people's self-serving justifications at face value (if they fit to your preconceived notion of them). I don't think this discussion will make much sense to continue, if that is the level you are arguing at.

  • Some thoughts after 3 years on Lemmy

    Jump

  • Apparently you have yourself internalized islamophobia to such an extend that sweeping claims like that about a diverse group of people and their religion does not raise any red flags for you 🤦

  • Some thoughts after 3 years on Lemmy

    Jump

  • This is a complete misrepresentation of what happened. Did you even read the messages they were banned for?

  • Some thoughts after 3 years on Lemmy

    Jump

  • Except that it wasn't me who banned them. I am just looking at the modlog and their own explanation of what happened.

  • Some thoughts after 3 years on Lemmy

    Jump

  • Everyone is the hero in their own story, and sadly Islamophobia is widely spread with people that call themselves "liberals".

  • Some thoughts after 3 years on Lemmy

    Jump

  • The first - and definitely worst - experience I’ve had was 2 years ago when I got banned from !europe@feddit.org for “racism and gaslighting” on the basis of, well, pretty much nothing except the moderator’s paranoia.

    It wasn't me, but looking at your moderation log and the messages in question, I would have called it "islamophobia and downplaying neo-nazi crimes" and banned you just the same. Others are welcome to have a look at those messages and judge for themselves 🤷

  • I feel like people are sleeping on the Minisforum MS-R1 as a good value home server PC

    Jump

  • Seems not too bad. It seems to boot with mainline Linux (or at least Ubuntu ISOs) and the vendor releases patches for recent kernel versions, which is much better than most ARM SoCs.

    Jump

  • Cool, let us know how it goes and maybe also see if the power consumption has improved with more recent kernel versions.

  • I feel like people are sleeping on the Minisforum MS-R1 as a good value home server PC

    Jump

  • Seems indeed relatively good value for money, but how is the mainline Linux kernel support for that SoC?

    Edit: also in the early reviews people found some strangely high idle power consumption, which really isn't good for a home server.

  • Pelago: The Old Man, The Sea, and The Island -- A manifesto? on how to build allowlist-based networks

    Jump

  • This is the end result of what I call the dark forest hypothesis of social networks or federated chat services that face similar issues.

    Yes, you can frame it in a positive way, like the author does, but ultimately it is about hiding away from bad actors.

    Personally, I think the lowest hanging fruit is open-registration servers, that like the article describes are a vector for abuse. That issue should really be solved first before discussing more closed off allow-list only networks.
