This is the kind of stuff that proves that the american oligarch regime has gone full on degenerate.

It will take very strict and no bullshit rehabilitation and justice procedures to cure them of their degeneracy.

IIRC, when the URL (on the Mastodon side) is the first line, it pushes a text URL as the heading in Lemmy.

Image attachments work too, if you’re only using images.

The issue is you can’t have a Lemmy URL, a text heading and a custom thumbnail image in a single post.

This creates problems if you have both a Lemmy community and a Mastodon account and you want post only from the Mastodon account (with the post also going to Lemmy).

I spent a lot of time experimenting with this and I couldn’t find a good solution. I stick to posting to Lemmy and Mastodon using separate accounts.

Where the fields in a Lemmy post (heading/URL/Thumbnail URL) are inputted correctly from a Mastodon post. URL is not even possible unless it’s part of the body.

They can indeed federate, but IMO it’s not useful beyond simple posts.

There is no way to “sync” the text heading/URL/thumbnail.

Not denying the historical commentary w.r.t. colonialism. It’s still a conspiracy theory to think that western countries currently want Haiti to be unstable and be run by gangs.

As I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, they might not want to bear the financial burden (I would speculate you need several billion USD a year for security and institution building), but it’s not like they actively benefit from Haiti being unstable.

That being said, I am open to alternative commentary from someone living there (unfortunately I’ve never been to Haiti).

What active sabotage?

This is conspiracy theory level thinking. The “West” very much wants the situation to stabilise. They might not be willing to contribute enough resources, but that’s the same thing as actively wanting Haiti to be ruled by gangs.

My bad, a little misunderstanding on my part.

We are good.

Your post implied that all countries outside of the west sided with China when this is clearly not true. I am so adamant about the because I have first hand experience with this.

Even in Africa there is a lot of pushback among the population (not necessarily the elites) against Chinese imperialism. Sri Lanka is another example where there is a measures of opposition to jingoistic Chinese meddling.

China has conflicts with countries like India and Philippines. China backs the brutal junta in Myanmar. China invaded Hong Kong.

This is a pretty simplistic take. A western tankie take if you will.

Many countries in Asia have suffered from invasions and conflicts with China.

Tankies must be celebrating.

The definition of degeneracy.
