For all the newcomers that aren’t aware, I just stumbled upon this insane drama.
Apparently lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] is the result of a reddit sub ban of a
bunch of pro-china bots who vigorously defend the Chinese government, and the
two top admins are also the top devs of the Lemmy source software. Pretty
terrible stuff! The linked thread is full of their insane ramblings and
denialism Edit: I seem to have been blocked from commenting, all my replies are
timing out now. But I wanted to say that I don’t intend to make this post as an
“anti-lemmy” thing, I think the truth should burn brightly in the sunlight. We
should try to continue to grow Lemmy (especially since we’re the largest reddit
clone) while calling out their propaganda and hidden motive. Edit2: turns out I
can comment, I just can’t reply to kbin user comments from my instance. Just
spins indefinitely.
and when the bots get banned, they reformulate on a completely different social network with multiple communities/moderators, generate/post memes to each other, get into arguments/discussions, and engage in diverse levels of self crit.
if these people believed the shit they farted onto keyboards, they would be fascinated by such a clear example of advanced artificial intelligence.
