I believe so, it’s where a lot of us went at first, but then realized if the guy running it doesn’t like you, he just will ban you. Which is fine, it’s his site, but that’s not what I or many others wanted.

When I started using lemmy I just grabbed every app for it and tried them all. Boost is the closest I was able to find, and it has a ton of options to get it looking and feeling like RIF. The others were good, but just different. I liked RIF because of how simplistic it was, boost thankfully gives that same simplistic feel.

If you where a RIF user, go with boost. It’s as close to rif as it gets. Since the rif dev went to that ban happy tildes site.

Here’s you making excuses for removing all the Russians from the contributor list: “Russia invaded a sovereign nation…but that’s a petty dispute…are you sure you’re on the right instance? Sounds like you need to recreate your account here on ml…”

Where is that a excuse? I was pointing out that it’s not a petty dispute, russia is trying to wipe out Ukraine…the fuck.

Your logic, if you can call it that, is that if the country you’re from invades a sovereign nation, it makes sense to get kicked off the list. Guess which country invades sovereign nations every 3-6 years.

Ooo oo, I know this one…is it…whataboutism again for $400 alex?

To make another point, of course the US is relevant, its government is the one making this exact thing happen.

Yea…no it’s not, russia is doing that on their own.

No more excuses, champ. Gotta look reality straight in the face.

Ok. Reality, russia is a fucked up authoritarian state that willfully sends it’s people to rape, murder and commit war crimes, like it got its war plans from the viking era. How’s that for some reality. Champ.

lol no it isn’t.

Yea…yea it is.

Yes we all know this.

Sweet…are we getting somewhere…

The US has invaded at least 4 sovereign nations in the last 21 years. It has bombed far more in that time, including couping Libya, turning it from the highest HDI country into a failed state with open air slave markets.

Ahhh nope apparently not…still humping about the USA.

The RF has been comparatively less harsh on civilians. Look at what the US, NATO, and Israel do to civilians. They bomb residential buildings, pharmaceutical factories, hospitals, schools, buses, civilian infrastructure. Millions died in Iraq, about half children, in the 90s due to the US systematically destroying civilian infrastructure and then coordinsting tight sanctions.

Hahahhaha holy fuck…o wait you’re a tankie…

And do you know what preceded the RF invasion? Ukraine ramping up its civilian shelling campaign in Donbas.

And a russian apologist…man this is just hilarious…you really are following the .ml tankie guidelines.

Given what the West does with its power that is a smart position to take.

Lol for all the west’s faults, we’re still not even half as murderous as the authoritarian dictatorships you love.

Yes and? You’re just admitting that this is a chauvinist political move headed by the United States.

Yea no…

It’s not a security risk at all, the Linux team has tight review procedures and all of these people have been making contributions as maintainers. There were zero concerns raised about their code.

Because it’s easier to just use sanctions as the reason. The idea that a authoritarian state wouldn’t force their devs to create backdoors for their state is hilariously naive, but you won’t see it that way because you’re a brainwashed tankie.

PS the US is not entitled to the world and every international project.

Yea no shit? Who said they are?

Native, but yeah sure, and when we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, I agree with you, but Iraq and Afghanistan didn’t have a bunch of devs that worked on an OS that the world uses. It’s a security issue more than anything.

It’s a security risk is how it’s being looked at as well.

No this has nothing to do with the USA right now. It’s a strawman to whip out the “but the USA” card. Russia has sanctions, they invaded a sovereign nation, and are willfully targeting civilians. They’re fully against the west at this point, allowing them continued access to help build tools the west uses, is not only against the current sanctions, it’s also a dumb security risk as well.

Trump has stated Israel is going to slow. So anyone bitching about the dems is an idiot, trump will be a lot worse than harris on this issue.

A full scale war on a sovereign nation is not a random petty dispute…the fuck is wrong with you?

The USA isn’t in this discussion right now. Russia invaded Ukraine and is trying to kill Ukrainians to take over their country. Iraq and Afghanistan wasn’t a petty dispute either. You tankies are shitty people.

Russia invaded a sovereign nation…but that’s a petty dispute…are you sure you’re on the right instance? Sounds like you need to recreate your account here on ml…

You mean that people are annoyed that tankies like you, want to turn this into an echo chamber that’s just like the right wing republicans…and that bothers you?

Edit: checking your history… yes you’re a solid tankie idiot.

Hey, you can come here to the states, pay out the ass for it, even with insurance…and still have the same experience. Long waits, lack of communication, and Doctors that are so booked they give you the once over in 10mins after you have waited on them for hours…

That’s interesting, I was always under the impression they were moving away from sms because they wanted a more secure client.

Sms is also not secure, kinda not what signal is…

Yep, and the portable part sounds great but if i need a portable monitor I’m going to just use a laptop. $850 is 49" ultra wide territory.

ROFL you’re either blind or ignorant if you think the south doesn’t have neo-nazis and white nationalist.

Obesity is the issue these days not tobacco. Tobacco use is a fraction of what it once was. Now a huge portion of the EU and USA is obese, which causes way more strain on the healthcare system.

Yes… let’s create another prohibition era item… it’s a vice.

Lol I live in the south and part of my family is from eastern Europe…you have no clue who I am.
