cm0002 OP ,

Lol nope try again

cm0002 OP ,

You have a horde of accounts and your main approach is to post Somebody Else's Opinion for engagement.

I post plenty of my own sourced content in addition to crossposting .ml

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

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

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558
The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

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

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

and you don't read the articles that you submit.

How could you possibly know if I do or don't? It's not even a requirement to post LMAO

You don't engage on anything you've posted except to defend your style of posting.

I engage when I feel like engaging, at least I do contribute, Mr 2 year old 0 post and 3 comments account. There's no rule that say posters have to engage with every single comment. If anything, that's what's indicative of spam bots LMAO

And they are at it again with a new...

cm0002 OP ,

cm0002 OP ,

The intersection of unstable pages and direct I/O ( lwn.net )

Longtime LWN readers will have encountered the concept of "stable pages" before; it was first covered here nearly 15 years ago. For the most part, the problem that stable pages were meant to solve — preventing errors when user space modifies a buffer that is under I/O — has been dealt with. But recent discussions show that...
