Sort of makes you wonder who is funding lemmy.ml

You are probably correct, Dessalines himself forgot to switch to one of his alts and is literally posting the “1 Harris = 1 genocide” meme on a .world thread as we speak. Absolutely glorious.
Edit - actually it was a .ml thread my mistake.
The .ml admins probably just adding more malicious tracking tools to the communities they don’t like so they can more easily dox Lemmy users for their state espionage sponsors. Probably just broke something by accident this time
Right, there is no lazy replacement for good opsec. If you are facing a state actor then you need to assume your device storage can be accessed.
Nobody who bike commutes is fat.
Oh well in that case it’s completely ok!
How’s that boot taste?
Perhaps there are some false claims, but this isn’t one of them. This is their proxy for making being openly gay illegal again because they consider any queer representation to be pornographic.
Oi mate! Wankin loicense! Give it here. Noi!
Y’all trying to get me banned from .ml again. I’m not falling for it.
Bofa deez nuts
It’s obviously bofa
Lmao. I have been to .ml plenty. I have gotten banned for simply mentioning the time Russia shot down a civilian airliner. Twice!
This is also far from the first time .ml has been accused of manipulating the mod logs or federation database. It’s really just the first time they’ve been caught red handed, but I have definitely found a handful of my band not showing up in mod logs for whatever reason, but didn’t get a screenshot of the original log entry.
It is extremely obvious that the .ml admins run a malicious version of the Lemmy code which gives them additional levers of control. This alone makes them a serious threat to the entire fediverse.
Imagine that - a white dude who appropriates the moniker of an actual slave revolutionary as a symbol for his “cause” might be cringe and unhinged.
This is actually more evidence that the Lemmy devs run a modified version of the code which gives them the ability to, eg do things like dole out mass community bans. There is also some evidence that they selectively federate the mod log as well. It all points to the obvious conclusion that these people can and will abuse their power in any way they can.
The threat is bigger than that though. These people control the code base and can easily just start running modified code to fuck with various aspects of federation to generally keep their finger on the scale of any instance which federates with them. At best they have shown they have no shame and cannot be trusted. If there is any means of abusing their power, it must be assumed that they will embrace it.
That’s the most frustrating part. These “leftists” are the stupid kind who seem to care more about relitigating idiotic cold war drama than evolving or pushing forward leftist philosophy. It’s straight up brain rot, mixed with obvious right wing agitprop disguised as leftist ideology. That fact that anyone other than trolls, spies and teenagers would engage with it is astounding.
People are naive if they think the .ml admins and devs don’t intend to keep their thumb on the Lemmy scale. More instances need to take this threat seriously and defederate from .ml, and possibly even fork the Lemmy repos for when the devs inevitably decide they want to start building quiet exploits into the code. There are serious cyber security implications here that people are sleeping on
Yeah no $3k/m isn’t funding their full time dev work with infrastructure. It seems likely they have sources of funding they don’t disclose for whatever reason.
