  • Oh right I forgot the US is obsessed with flags 😅

    My mind was figuring some kind of nightmarish country flag or confederate flag with something linked to Trump on it. This makes more sense.

  • Having a two party system is so dumb to begin with, but yes that way of thinking is the perfect road to a one party system (either directly or indirectly, either long or short term, which could be harmful regardless), the US are cooked anyway because no party could be made let alone survive unless backed by the rich and powerful..it would be anything but « giving the people a voice » 💀

  • Burn the trump flag

    wait the what flag now ? 😐

    which side is the USA and which side are the usurping dictatorship

    Damn the US are truly a lost cause... Time like these I'd expect riots, not whatever this is...

    This will look horrible to their own side

    I can't... this is so stupid..

  • Damn it I'm so used to read @nottheonion that I completly fell for it that was spot on 😂

    Glad to see there's still good satire sites, most of the satire sites I used to follow gave up some years ago since reality started to become satire itself.

  • Yeah I was uncomfortable bringing up the «pro-Russia propaganda» thing, I am aware what's going on in Ukraine is no simple topic, in the context of my post it was more about war propaganda which in some cases I can be fearful of. I'm not gonna lie though as much as I'm quite open to pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine sentiment I'm not pro-Russia myself, I'm just distrustful or at the very least careful, but it has to do with the financial ties Russia has with the far right in my country, the fact that in the past they managed to make a media outlet in my country that spread misinformation benefiting far right views, and lastly because in the political history of my country being blindly pro-Russia contributed to the death of our communist party (by crumbling the confidence of its members and the trust of their voters), which was one of the biggest and beneficial party we've ever had (not like Russia is to blame in this case though).

  • Yeah it couldn't believe what I read when I saw those exact words from lemmy.world own post 💀

    What blew my mind even more was the quote from an Hexbear announcement that they used as justification : it was only telling Hexbear users to be nice which made absolutly no sense.

  • its mostly just right wing noise

    Yeah expected as much...

    also we defed from blahaj because her admin refused to moderated ableism and transphobia against our users

    wtf I didn't expect that 💀 I think I even expected anything but that...breaks my mind

  • Didn't expect to learn about the pig pics thing..

  • Thanks and yes, I surely don't belong elsewhere :)

  • Yeah I expected as much :/

    I knew that whatever I'd learn it'd be a cause for concern. Even if predictable I find it quite discomforting to think that so many instances would make so much room to the right by suppressing and spreading hate about a big leftist instance like Hexbear (and even others), it's especially disappointing since I do like lemmy a lot. I'm also a bit torned because now I don't want anything to do with .world and others, but I miss some of the communities I followed when I didn't know any of this.

    At least I'm glad I found this place, I actually like it here.

  • Thanks :)

    Yeah I wish I could have a way to reply to everyone (feels wrong not to), I don't know any other way other than adding something to my post and hope some people will see.

  • askchapo @hexbear.net

    What's with all the hate/push back against Hexbear ? (new user question)

  • Funniest thing is, I read this after learning Chrome had a zero-day exploit, Brave might not even have the patch yet 😆

    To be fair, on sites like privacytests.org Brave seems to pass more tests than default Firefox, but these tests don't take extensions into accounts. Extensions wouldn't add much to Brave since it's a chromium browser, but Firerox should have better results with ublock alone...and then there are forks and ways to harden Firefox on top of that.

    And of course it's not taken into account how sus Brave is, if I remember right Brave search has already been caught spying on its users (and used word play to pretend it was open-source) and then there's also the crypto scam. Passing most of the security/privacy tests won't help if the browser is spying and exploiting you.

  • Omg I forgot about chess 💀

    This is so stupid it's breaking my mind. I grew up hating sports because of gendered separation, never made any sense to me why we couldn't try to have fair mixed teams even with all the «fairness in sports» fallacy thing.

    But this is like a whole new level of stupid. Except it's not even new 😩

  • There's been quite a lot of power plant fuckups in truth, but Chernobyl being the first one made it an exemple to avoid, especially considering how worse it could have gone. It also shed a light on the dangers to the public and how any government can fuck up and lie about it, not just communists ones, even if it surely made perfect anti-USSR propaganda.

    In my (capitalist) country we've even had a saying ever since the disaster : «The radiations can't get past our borders», wich is said to express distrust in our own government to act accordingly to any disaster... Because when Chernobyl happend of course that what they said, even when people got sick. I'm sure all of Europe has similar sayings and distrust ever since.

    Having said that, it'd sure be great to have other shows about other nuclear distasters/contaminations, it'd spread a wider awerness of them, and even if some were less impactfull than others it'd still be enough to make great stories.

  • Wait wait wait.. esport teams aren't mixed ?? 💀 Wtf is wrong with this world...

  • Vivaldi is somehow on top of Floorp so I'd say his reasons are laughable at best.

  • It's because it's quite popular so alot of people know it exists, but yes it's a handheld console made by steam and it's using linux, it's basicly a Linux console.
