They removed russian maintainers that are associated with sanctioned companies

Your are voluntarily spreading fake news and you are getting upvoted for that !

They have removed every person they suspected to be russian or have a russian “.ru” domain name in their email from the maintainers list.

This is unbearable, Lemmy, reddit and other left leaning social medias have become unbearable around election seasons, Liberals copying right wing tactics is like eating your own shit. and it is disgusting.

I get the panic, but it is making you just as brain dead as the other camp. hopefully things will dial down past election day.

I wasn’t referring to racism. Race and Nationality are almost the same thing, people can’t chose in what community they were born in. and not everyone has the means to move.

democrats : This is the most important election in our lifetime, we need you to vote to save democracy.

Third party voters : Yeah and under a Democracy I intend To freely use my vote according to my beliefs and interests.

democrats: Nooooooy, not like that 🤬

don’t be pedantic, what about the Chinese, south-Africans, north-Koreans, Cubans, …etc

So the Rest of the world should trust CIA, NSA contributions but not Russia’s FSB ? come on , opensource should be tolerant towards all espionage agencies no matter their skin color.

I took full advantage of invidious while it was still working, now I am anxious of ever going back to YouTube. It won’t be long before they requiring giving them your iris scan before watching a video on that shit platform.

Corporations and commercial interests taking over the internet is inevitable. the only free corners left are the darknets with tor/i2p. but because the normies can’t bother use that isn’t falshy and trendy, there might not be any other chance to replace this decrepit boring dystopia.

They hive mind is just as strong on lemmy as it is on Reddit. which has led me to wind-down my engagement on lemmy and will very soon drop it all together. going back to RSS I guess or might try nostr next.

According to your handle, it might be you who is intersted in that sort of shit, but you are instead reflecting it on others.

You mean Twitter ? which every liberal, leftist and their grandma still using it, despite it turning into a Nazi platform

You kinda intentionally ignoring my point, I was asking for suggestion of different models, even different protocols if they exist. not instance - community - moderation based ones.

At this point I am disappointed with every other internet model that came out so far. and I don’t think that moderation has been a good addition, I can see the need for it if you are building a community around your own persona, like a streamer or influencer fandom. but for things like politcs and economies and stuff it just turns into echo chambers.

Do you need to pay for those relays, or register with those relays like you to on lemmy to be able to post ?

can you move your account from one relay to another ?

Are ther modded communities or subreddits like they are on lemmy ?

Do you need an app to be constantly connected in the background like briar messenger or all content is hosted on the relays?

No I want people to be able to block my post just as I can block other people’s posts, but I don’t need a moderator to block either my posts or other people’s posts to be seen by everybody else engaging in that discussion, thread, theme, hashtag, what ever you name it.

When blocking is done at an individual level it doesn’t silence or shutdown views or ideas from the discussions, every individual is free to not engage with people or ideas they don’t agree with, but they shouldn’t have the power to block those ideas for everybody else.

Isn’t ZeroNet a dead archived project ?

Thanks, at least this is a helpful response, Will check it out!

No this federation experiment is at the end for me.

I don’t believe in the federation model anymore. I was looking for a p2p protocol like a big bitorrent swarm, something more decentralized where no one has power over the discussions. I want to filter the content I want to consume. I dont’t need someone else to decide what I should or should not read. I was hoping for an open network where every node have the same leverage and you only mod your own feed.

You can’t escape moderation and censorship in lemmy. If a moderator of a certain big community has a certain heavy bias towards a subject and moderates accordingly. you are just bared from such discussions. communities suffer from the same network effects as social media do. I can take heat and shitty people but I can’t stand silencing.

I might check nostr. is it app relient ??

Yeah it is a french expression, the english equivalent is " a long harvest for a little corn "

Here is a link to read about it, its meaning and use and its equivalent in other languages : link
