It was crossposted as part of .ml boycott efforts
Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.
far right communities being normalized.
Weird, that’s just the thing tankies label anyone and everything that calls them out or goes against them
Can’t imagine why they’d try to label a comm dedicated to the documentation of the authoritarianism ideology they push, the misinfo and propaganda they allow and the censorship they enforce though
.ml can get pretty vile you’re right, but don’t worry, the link goes to the megathread of the documentation of lemmy.mls extremist simping for authoritarian regimes like Russia and NK and the censorship it entails
Lemmy.ml is a lot of things, but blind religious nuts is not one of em
I’ve had this user tagged as a religious nut for a long time, so I’m not surprised at all

You probably just haven’t seen a specific doc enough (which is a good thing!)
If you’re the type of person to live this kind of meme, you’re probably been seeing a specific doc regularly to work on a chronic condition (once a month maybe even once a week) for months if not years. And the doc referenced in this meme would probably also be a psychiatrist
This was a crosspost and I didn’t realize, I have now broken the crosspost and replaced the image for proper attribution

Today it’s “rape content” tomorrow, it’s vanilla porn, then the day after it’s LGBTQ+ affirmative content
People are doing that too, there was just an article posted a bit ago talking about that.
Causing multi hour waits with the goal of hurting them by delaying actual customers getting help

I just view it as a pointless 50 year old squabble, it’s current name is SQL to me so S-Q-L it is, ig I didn’t have “old timers” to corrupt me during the formative years of my career though so maybe that’s why.
Regardless, my real beef in this is if someone makes hiring/firing/promotion decisions based on that. Like a fun office debate about it, cool, it’s whatever. Choosing not to hire or promote someone over something so petty is asinine IMO
It isn’t pronounceable as a word, it is an initialism because the letters that compromise it do not allow it to be pronounced as a word. Unlike something like NASA which is a full blown acronym because it can be pronounced
Do you say hetips for HTTPS?
The sequel thing didn’t even start naturally, it picked up this sequel moniker because of some ancient trademark beef in the 70s between the original devs when it was named “Sequel” and some company (That isn’t even in business anymore)
They renamed it SQL and out of protest against the company people continued to call it sequel even though it makes no sense and 50 damn years later here we are. Everybody involved with direct involvement is probably dead or longggg since retired. It wasn’t termed because it was easier to say and it sure as hell wasn’t termed because its proper.
If it was originally called SQL and the above never happened, I guarantee it would just be another DNS or HTTP and many many pointless debates about it would have never happened
Disclaimer, this doesn’t apply to the MS product that is called sequel

forget PostgreSQL’s existence until data corruption.
Oh, so about 2 hours then LMAO
Yup, and it’s S-Q-L not sequel (🤢)
6·2 months agoJuul devices are re-usable but the pods aren’t which still create a ton of plastic waste.
Juuls/pod systems/“disposable” ones are, but there are plenty of options that are fully rebuild-able. RTA/RDA on a classic mod for example.
Idk why so many abandoned the classic mods, they are so much cooler, I had one with Bluetooth and LEDs back in the day LMAO.
Ig that “just works” aspect of the pods was as addictive as the nicotine :/
Making the 2 smaller ones not touch each other or one of the small ones not touching with the big one would do it
