In the interest of moderation transparency, we’ve had a couple of reports about this post.
Here’s my thinking about it:
Community purpose
- This post is more political that would ordinarily be seen on AskLemmy, ⬇️
- it is an open-ended thought provoking question, ⬆️
- it is generating healthy and informative discussion and debate. ⬆️
Rule 1:
- the post is not trolling, sealioning, racist or toxic, ⬆️
- the topic is contentious but seems to be worded politely, ⬆️
- the author has voluntarily amended the question to be more sensitive in their framing. ⬆️
Rule 3:
- it does not fit the definition of spam or astroturfing ⬆️
On balance, I’m going to let the post remain up.
It’s a Portmanteaux of Lemmy and humans.
Rule 5. Support/Lemmy meta question. Locking.
Support question. Please post in !support. Locking.
It’s 4 days late, but I’ll wade in.
It’s possible to express an opinion without being an asshole about it. That’s what Rule 1 is about. Not censorship.
I don’t like (factual) Y about country X. <- Doesn’t breach Rule 1.
The people in country X are all shit stains <- Breaches Rule 1.
Diplomatic honesty is fine (at least with me).
What isn’t fine are:- Personal attacks,
- Doxxing, trolling, sealioning,
- attacks on whole groups of people because of:
- stereotypical characteristics.
- ingroup-outgroup bias,
- readily disprovable dis/misinformation.
In summary, respectful debate is welcome. Nastiness is not.
Remember Rule 1 people.
Woah, woah, woah. Let’s not get too carried way here. Some things we just shouldn’t talk about.
Beards, not mullets!
61·21 days agoLet’s start with the second part of your question? How do you make someone understand that invading another country is not a good thing?

When a wannabe dictator says you won’t have to vote any more…
OP, if you feel the need, please call for help if you need it.
I wrote Pink Floyd off after Roger Waters supported Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.

You have to wonder how they ended up dead? What happened to the EPIRB? Did they not have a PLB? GPS and Portable Radio?
I don’t know for sure, but I suspect there aren’t many pirates in the middle of the Atlantic.
I gather that many larger ships often either have malfunctioning AIS or don’t have it turned on.
AIS is a system that pings identity and location to other ships, and can set off alarms to warn of impending collisions at sea.
5·2 months agoIsn’t this just more of what caused the problem in the first place? Namely, centralisation. If you store data locally and you lose a machine, that’s bad but not the end of the world. If you store it centrally and you lose the data, that’s catastrophic. Nassim Taleb nailed this stuff. Keep the downside limited, and the upside unlimited or as he says, “Don’t pick up pennies in front of a steamroller.”
This man lies like he breathes.
