    Luckily for me; I’ve never borrowed money.

    So if a pissed off baby comes at me demanding money, I can choke slam that tiny wrinkled thug and not feel bad about it.

      Disclaimer: a baby is not concerned with money. It’s a fake baby. I would NEVER choke slam a real baby. Reincarnated babies that remember debts from previous lives have already been thrown away by Anubis, and if they exist we exist in the same hell as they. A dark and twisted world ruled by dark and twisted man beasts.

        Thank you. I read the info you provided, and I have a question: WTF is a “tankie?”

        Anyway when I posted that cute meme, I had to choose a community from a drop-down list and I chose the first one that looked relevant, so I guess I chose WRONGLY, now I have to make a conscious effort to avoid .ml instances now?

        So I just went through my list of subscriptions and blocked/unsubscribed from everything ending in .ml and there were six of them! They had some good communities! 😢 Anything I can replace them with? I’ve already forgotten what they were and it’s too late because I deleted them, but two communities I will miss are Venting, and F-droid.

      Lemmy ml is under heavy boycott and I run an effort to crosspost all good content from them to the closest relevant comm, see the spoiler for more

      Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

      I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.

      Megathread on the issue

      Some highlights from the link:

      Dessalines, head .ml admin, lead Lemmy dev actively spreading genocide denialism https://sh.itjust.works/post/61371958

      .ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

      “If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

      "Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

      “See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

      “NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

      General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

      And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

      I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

      On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

        Alright well I’m a real human who put a little bit of excitement & effort into this post, so the least you could do is acknowledge the usernames of people you’re stealing posts from.

            I know it’s not OC but my title sure was! I told you I thought of that title with my own brain and typed it with my own thumbs.

            It felt mildly sickening to be casually scrolling through Lemmy and finding someone else posted the same exact thing I’d just posted, and you got more engagement than I did! Mildly sickening.

    Now they’re going to spend time, money, and energy to raise you and thus paying off their debt.

    At least that’s how it is, according to some schools of Hindu philosophy.
