staunch communist, Newsom.

Lol.

Kinda seems like we should just listen to the French then

16 years ago, that was Reddit for me.

Guess we’ll see.

Whoa! I thought they quit after Rapture for some reason. Love the two games I’ve played from them (Dear Esther and Rapture). Good to know they’re still making things.

Will have to give this a look.

The Chomsky sub posted tweets from an ABC reporter and MIT research associate saying he is still alive.

Looks like I confused this comm with the politics comm, but considering this comm is following the decision of that one a week later, I think the reasoning stands:

Of course it isn’t. Your goal is to stifle criticism of Biden from the left.

We know this started because a (presumably, leftist) user stated they only care to share negative content of Biden and were banned.

How is one individual possibly manipulating the community if we’re all reading it, agreeing, and upvoting?

Just shelve the paternalism and focus on spam and other areas of rightful moderation.

If the articles are news, they’re news. End of.

Let’s not pretend like this comm isn’t overrun with accounts that (rightfully) post articles that are only critical of conservative policies and politicians. Are you going to ban them for not also posting critical of liberals? Must they criticize leftists?

This will be entirely used in a one sided way to censor criticism of Biden. I think that’s obvious.

Also, to push people to other instances to avoid centralization.

Best instance stays winning.

Well it’s definitely not Reddit lite.

I swear if there was a Sight and Sound type list for games, Ico would be at least Top 5 if not first. Feel like it’s been “your favorite developer’s favorite game”.

When you’ve influenced everything from Dark Souls to The Last of Us, then it’s inarguable you’ve played a major role in the formation of this medium.

If Dessalines is receiving money from the Chinese or other fascist government to develop the Lemmy sourcecode, even if only partially funding the project alongside other funding from e.g. the EU, then I can well understand why he would want to see them kept happy - on top of what he may feel personally.

You people are so lost up your own asses, you will never find yourselves. Conspiratorial nonsense driven by your McCarthyism 2.0 with a complete lack of self awareness.

But I guess I shouldn’t expect anything more from a NATO funded user and instance, right? The Heritage Foundation and CIA signing the checks over here?

not merely removing comments, but also mass-banning from communities people have never commented in before

So moderating their instance?

and then deleting the mod log entries afterwards

Where’s the evidence for this? I didn’t see that in the original post.

tankies are advocating for a society where I and those like me would be killed.

Where and why would you be targeted by them?

The FUD spreaders continuing to spread FUD. You know what’s great for Lemmy, this platform you’re using that was developed by that Dev you’re coming for? Inter instance drama, surely.

Cold War 2 bullshit.

It’s because that user was banned. So we can’t see their posts. I’m pretty sure at least. It unfortunately happens to us often when there’s drama from a banned .world or other user about .ml.

He’s the guy who’s overlooking her from a cliff when she faints in the desert after losing her arm

I don’t care for the drama on Hexbear. And I don’t care for it here either. This post is drama baiting.
