The fact they’re called defectors says it all. Anywhere else they’d be called emigrants.

I don’t think you can correlate the number of readers to the number of book instances or whatever they’re called. Most people (myself included) probably just use Goodreads, and BookWyrm is probably a good enough alternative that there’s no need to spin up another.
Edit: according to this there’s a lot of instances: https://joinbookwyrm.com/instances/
People get really weird about this, they act like you MUST cycle and train it everywhere and anything is just an excuse.
There’s been civil wars in nations all over the world. I think they’re poking fun at which is the civil war? I’m guessing it’s the Spanish one.
The joke isn’t the program itself, it’s the process of deploying a website to servers.
What’s the underlying problem that’s causing water companies to go down this route? Has there been a chronic lack of investment over the years and now they aren’t keeping up with demand and having to dump it instead of process it?
That’s a weird way of spelling “being thrown into a pit of sewage”
Living up to your username I see!
I’ve added it to my blocked instances and I’d recommend others who have an issue with the way the communities on that instance are moderated and the way it’s managed to do the same.
Fortunately there are alternative instances and communities that are less authoritarian with their moderation.
Maybe politics was the wrong word, what I mean is drama.
The way comments and users are purged from ml would make Stalin proud!
But they may not know the history of it or why it was made before joining. I certainly didn’t, it was more about a decentralised alternative to Reddit, I just joined and explored.
I don’t know why the lemmy.ml admins don’t just defederate from everyone but lemmygrad and hexbear. It’s clear that only their extreme views are allowed and they must spend a lot of time banning “libs”.
It would do everyone a favour really. We’d have less instance politics and hopefully more content, and make it the fediverse more attractive to the average person.
If you’re new to Lemmy then it won’t be common knowledge at all.
There’s a lot of [Citation needed] tags on a lot of those claims. I’m not denying they exist but it’s also a bit of a flimsy source.
“Be nice and civil” - which is a fair enough rule, but it’s always used as a blanket ban. Most of the removed comments weren’t hostile or uncivil
The thread was posted into the memes community too so there’s always going to be a bit of banter, but most comments that weren’t in support of China were removed.
Removed by mod
Of course it was lol. Rule 1 apparently - “Be civil and nice”. I literally linked to an achived blog post, how was I being uncivil?

This one shows him being dragged away at the end.
That last statement is meaningless given the crazy levels of security they have on keeping people in. If they took away all the restrictions on leaving then the numbers would go through the roof.
