OotL: What's the deal with people claiming Lemmy as a whole supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), dictatorships, denies genocides, etc?
  • They're extremely pro-China. They deny the Uyghur genocide, by saying it's just as real as "white genocide". It's mostly criticisms that I would say are valid except that mixing in the Chinese propaganda kinda spoils the whole thing.

    My expectation is that some people will just use it as an excuse because they actually enjoy Reddit turning into 9gag with NFTs. If it really becomes an issue, Lemmy will be forked, and new devs will lead it.

    (There's also still kbin.)

    If only we could tie minimum wage to average local rent.
  • Lol what. We have machines and automation now. We can just make manufacturing equipment "suffer" while the humans "get ahead".

    The zero-sum worldview has been dead since the industrial revolution. Any widespread suffering at this point is the fault of humans.

    Edit: unless you're trying to say something else?
