Sometimes my feed is like half German memes
I am enjoying the riceballs much more than the Presidential idiocy randomiser.
The perks of federation.
be the change you want to see in the .world
People don’t post or comment and wonder why there is no content relevant to themselves
It’s a mystery /s

“worldnews”: American local news
It ain’t even local news. What we have now, is anybody’s guess.
Corporate shitheel news.
Even as an American and as a supporter of the freedom of these federated model, I have to wonder if there should be a mandated taxonomy. I don’t want to restrict anyone’s freedom of expression, but I want there to be some basic organization such that I can be an informed consumer
If anyone is allowed too much power, like billionaires, or any anti-democratic institution likefor-profit corporations get too big, you do not have a democracy-federated or not. It’s like trying to judge the flavor of a sandwich after dipping it in human shit-it mightve been a good or bad sandwich before, but no sandwich is good like this.
As the technologies of control get more sophisticated, you’ll find more and more that any attempt to have democracy without metaohorically decapitating those problems just means more resources are turned to those technologies, more of society and its mechanisms seem convoluted and inscrutable.
It’s not even “news” - a lot of that shit is just Clown-President does yet another thing that a Clown would do.
It makes me laugh when Europeans makes these comments. If you want to see more European centric content… post it. Its free to do.
People write as though Americans need to stop interacting with the platform, when the solution is really to increase European engagement, which falls on them to do.

!ich_iel@feddit.org disagrees.
Aye, that’s the point I’m making, I don’t go to to Feddit and acted shocked it’s a bunch of Germans talking about Germany
LW is hosted in germany, and it’s admin/owner is based in the neatherlands.
I mean, it’s called .world, it’s not crazy to assume people from around the world would interact there

You might be on to something 🤔
Some twat of a mod removed a news article, a very popular post which I linked, because “it’s internal US news”. It was literally from the national broadcasting company of Finland, talking about our national Moomin characters. But no.
Lemmy is filled with Russian pretending to be Americans/Canadians/whatever
.world is pure zionist slop. And so many communities have gathered there that i can’t just instance block it.
Ah, always catch a few self admitting Putlerites by tossing that hook out.
So nice of you to let us know so we can tag you
What is the utility of this, beyond maintaining cognitive dissonance?
I think you’re using words a tad too large for your vocabulary.
What would acknowledging how pathetic, tiny and pitiful cowards anyone supporting Russia or Putler be contradictory with?
Like I said, it’s so nice of you to step forward and admit what that you’re a coward who’s perpetuating the things he knows to be false.
It’s honestly like 95% of the time that every single thing you pretend others have, you yourself have. So you’re as struggling with dissonance because you know what garbage all Russian propaganda is, but you’re too scared to even admit it to yourself (even when you know it to be true), because you’re afraid of “falling out of a window”?

Aww, did I anger you so?
How does this video of an orc blowing up make you feel?
Ahh I can’t upload a video directly. I’ll just give you the before and after, yeah?
Before
After… or rather During

If you guys went to school you’d know how shit your propaganda is. You got pissed that I’m mocking Russia for the third world autocracy it is, with some lame “whatabout Gaza”
We are against Gazan genocide. Like we’re against pathetic Putlerites committing warcrimes on Ukrainians. If you’re Russian and you’re not protesting you’re pathetic as fuck
But you won’t be against displacement of Ukrainian kids, because you like to suck Putler cock
I’ve blocked quite a few very popular communities because I don’t understand their language. I’m guessing they’re still popular? Europe as a whole, seems to be quite popular (or it was, I’ve blocked them).
I’ve done the same with anything sports. if it’s sports related, it’s blocked and the one who posted it blocked as well. I want nothing to do with it.
starting to also consider anything us related too.
other languages are fine for me, I just skip past em.
You can also filter out keywords like Trump, Elon, GOP, etc. Generally this excludes shit from their little tribal conflict but retains post that could be of interest.

Was just permabanned from Ask Lemmy for explaining Russian and Chinese bots (bots are slaves). FYI did you know it’s totally okay for Russia and China to have slaves and engage in expansionism and election interference? Slaves are TOTALLY COOL and fine if they are Russian or Chinese, even if that means Russia or China expands into new territories and enslaves new people👍 Disliking slavery and war makes me a US propaganda shill somehow, even though the US is also explicitly pro-slavery (13th amendment) and pro-warfare and is operated by a Russian asset so all US propaganda these days IS Russian propaganda
Oh they actually specified “US”? Usually they just ramble on about the generic West.
They do not like it when we tell people that bots are slaves and Russia, China, and BRICS have massive slave networks of bots online. So they had to do a US whataboutism real fast
Yeah I can’t even interact with that, Davel has made sure to only participate in boards where he’s a mod, and I can’t interact with anything he posts / comments because he makes damn sure not to come over to neutral boards.
He’s a pathetic Russian pretending to be American
I kept on pointing that out and he retreated back to communities he mods and never steps foot outside. Coward.
I am the moderator now
Well sure. But that’s also because everyone else learned how to use English to communicate. So it FEELS like we’re all American. It’s a common thing in online spaces.
Maar als we allemaal terug zouden gaan naar onze eigen taal, voelt het hier een stuk minder Amerikaans.
I’ve literally had lengthy English conversations with other Dutch people online where we only figured out we were both Dutch twenty comments later :D
That’s not the issue. The issue is stuff like !politics@lemmy.world which explicitly forbids world politics. It’s an US politics only community.
I wish I was in Europe. Where I could pretend that news about our downfall was for a time at a distance and would never affect me.
Oh don’t worry it will affect us alright, it’s just that we don’t have any say in whatever happens there.
Like any of us do? I’m just waiting for lines to be drawn where I know where I can stand.
You are a citizen of the state. You might not be able to do it alone, but it’s your mess to fix, when all other means fail (voting, institutions etc).
I do what I can in a deeply red state where putting a democratic anything in your yard or on your car gets you attacked. When the lines are drawn I will probably be in the nearest blue zone which I guarantee will draw troops. Its the plan to occupy the cities and terrorize the populace to violence. Then they are just defending themselves against ‘evil’ terrorist. Its what they did when George Floyd was killed. They incited the violence and used it as an excuse to injure and kill protesters.
You’re counting on your masters to organize you, and for the needs to be violence alone.
No I’m not. I don’t know exactly how you gathered that from my statement but you are way off.
Not so different after all 🇪🇺💞🇱🇷!
End stage capitalism comes for all nations given enough time.
