  • @yogthos@lemmy.ml

    is a perfect example of a tankie. Constant and unironic support of Russia, an whenever their current imperialist and authoritarian efforts get brought up the response is “well the US is worse”. They post hundreds of times a day. They constantly think they are here to “debate”, although they are genuinely not actually capable. They think they want to see something like the USSR come back, when in reality they are a highly paid software developer living in Toronto, and they can only have this kind of opinion because they live in a western democracy.

    They are the authoritaian left equivalent of a libertarian or Trumper, but realistically they are just dorks with no grounding in reality.

    Scan through his comments and it will become clear.








  • I think this kind of handwringing shows a fundamental lack of understanding of how the internet works.

    Everything you’ve ever pushed your eyeballs against on the internet was hosted somewhere. These days its pretty much all in the cloud.

    All this team did was write a wrapper to automate the instance creation, which I just happily paid for, because even though I could have figured it out, it wasnt work several hours of my time to do so. And if I did, I still was going to use the same cloud providers this team is routing through.

    I just paid to host an instance to do my part to support the fediverse. If you are from the elest team jbenguira hit me up or maybe I’ll hit your lemmy to get some help. Having some issues getting my domain to work and want to make sure I’m doing it right.






  • Such a weird concept to think of when it comes to something like Twitter.

    I don’t think twitters value was ever reflected in a share price. It’s value was always to move and away opinions, which is far more difficult to put a value on. I know there is plenty of whining happening on Twitter, but as far as I can tell, there hasn’t been a truly mass exodus. As long as users are using the platform it’s value remains unchanged.

    The saudis didn’t buy it because they think Elon is reapply smart. they bought it because in some way they think it gives them the ability to leverage or move public opinion. As long as we give it out eyes, it stays valuable.
