Appreciation post for db0 admins in light of .world blocking /c/ piracy and similar /c/'s .
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
I understand why they did what they did and it makes me think of how db0 and other admins are saying fuck all and taking a very big liability for making and supporting a free internet and i want to say all the work you do is very much appreciated. Also shoutout to lemmy.ml admins for running a similar community on their own .
Links for supporting the db0 server and do consider donating as it is running behind on expenses.

I've noticed people overuse the word 'tankie' to the point it just means 'independent.'
Ya'll tribalists really need to get your shit together, lol. Rational people aren't taking you seriously, anymore.
They're a pretty textbook example of a tankie group. To even join the instance you have to copy and paste a paragraph from 1 of 2 communist texts and any criticisms of China and/or Russia gets you banned lol. I would honestly not be surprised in the slightest if Russia or China were funneling money to the Mali government to actively encourage radical communist behavior on the .ml domain. Mali was another failed communist country afterall. The .ml users often support Russia in the Ukrainian conflict and act like Western countries are forcing capitalism on the world because sovereign countries like Taiwan and Ukraine are actively trying to assimilate into western culture and establish capitalist democracies. Their proposed solution to another nation choosing to distance themselves from the failed communist autocracies they were part of is to forcibly invade, detain, relocate, and resettle the land with communist friendly nationals.
Unrestricted capitalism is bad, but it's demonstrably not as bad as the attempts at "communism" over the course of the last century that almost always end up becoming a communist autocracy. (East Germany, Soviet Union, Cuba, Taiwan, Afghanistan, Belarus, Cambodia, Czech Republic, Poland, North Vietnam, Hungary, North Korea)
Communism ≠ socialism.
I didn't read all that because it started off asinine and only looked to get worse as I read on.
I think you focus too much on 'isms' because you, yourself, succumb to tribalism.
Here's an '-ism' for you: pragmatism. Real solutions to real problems. Try to focus on a case by case basis instead of treating everything like a tribalist, ideological battle.
The world just isn't as simple as your small minds want it to be.
Lol. The classic. "I'm not going to read that."
