Lol, of course the place that stands to document y’alls crap gets slanderd by the people it’s documenting

Authoritarians

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

It’s matrix actually, but it’s been brought up before, some of the more prominent tankies all have a collab document that they copy/paste from

Hint: look at Dessalines modlog

or the megathread

Documentation of the admins authoritarianism and censorship

Some highlights from the link:

“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

Showing support for Ukraine on .ml is worthy of a site ban - dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/32775563

Rightttt, just anti-comminism, nothing to do with the admins and their authoritarian simping lmao

Why that’s executive material!

Oh no, a .ml’r accusing something of being “anti communist” when they take a stance against authoritarianism, how shocking lmao

The receipts on .ml

Screen blacks out frequently for some reason though lmao

Howtogeek has real articles? I thought it was an SEO scheme.

Surprisingly, they do, they have some low quality misses sometimes but overall I think they have some fine articles lol. Def not in-line with their name though lmfao

That’s good you have admitted your wrongs, unfortunately, you are still required to repent upon the altar of nix

Lol generally I’ll refer to the OS builtin tooling (XProtect/MS Defender) and EDRs as “Antivirus” otherwise the non-techies will freak OmG wE hAVe NO aV! And then the “anti”-viruses like mcafee and Kaspersky mysteriously spawns

And also on-demand AV software can be good for spot checks or if you’re sus of something.

It’s the “Real-time” shit that hooks into the kernel that needs to be avoided like the plague

There should be some friction, otherwise it wouldn’t be a very good boycotting strategy now would it?

This is a crosspost as part of my .ml boycotting efforts. It’s a text only post and there’s really no good way to crosspost a text post without a direct comm link. Instead, for text only posts I opt for tagging the OOP username.
