Lemmy is full of dictatorship lovers and political censorship. I’m glad I’ve left Reddit for this 👀
Maybe they’ll finally fix their bugs!
That’s just one of the dumbest reasons to sue Apple…
I did not meant fully degoogled androids! Sorry for the confusion. But most people running custom ROMs add Google play support/emulation because most apps use it.
As for microG, since I’m coming from GrapheneOS, I don’t know much about it. Might be a better solution
iOS has a nice default set of privacy respecting apps. iOS isn’t perfect but it’s as close as you can get to having a usable phone while having some sort of privacy.
Android always sends requests to Google. A de-googled phone with no Play Services is too limiting.
Uyghur genocide is misinformation? 🤦
Good old genocide denying.
ofc they’re here on their own will, and definitely not being brainwashed and forced to work. all good
I disagree. You can always aim to be neutral, stick to the facts, and not favor a specific side. You’ll never fully achieve it, but you can come close to it.
There’s small bias, and will to have neutrality; and then there’s blatant bias and censorship. We’re in the second option here.
any opinion or viewpoint can be an echo chamber
Saying terrorism is bad is a standard viewpoint, but people that are into it are often in a complete echo chamber
Sure. China bad, USA bad, Russia bad. So? Doesn’t make my criticism invalid, nor misinformation.
There’s just a biased moderation that censors people that have strong takes against some countries.
I got temporarily banned for a month indeed, but what does that change? Not a lot in my opinion. I won’t be going back anyways.
Why do I need to explain my reasoning when it’s pretty well known that China isn’t the best place to live for human rights? On the other hand, I get banned with no explanation, apart from a “Don’t be rude” rule, like what??
Companies censoring speech isn’t the same as a country censoring speech. As far as I’m concerned we still have some sort of freedom of press. Btw, where did I say the USA was perfect? I would put it in the bad countries for human rights due to how they treat non-US people (you probably know the many wars/conflicts they’ve been into and how they feel like they have every rights on other territories like how Isreal was created, or that they can kill civilians in military operations).
Surely the political opponents in Hong Kong are fine and not persecuted as well.
From the little I’ve read about the report you sent, which I don’t have the time to read rn, but might later, I saw multiple things like acts of “disruption of social order” can be considered as terrorist activity. We know that in countries with strong control of the government like China, “terrorism” is often used to justify repression against political opponents. It’s even stated in the report (didn’t saw that it was as I was writing this)
However, again, a number of the activities listed remain stated in vague and/or subjective terms without further clarification as to the content of what these may encompass, e.g., “disruption of social order and other serious social harm”.
What I’m reading is a lot of bad things. The report is rather incriminating.
It becomes unhealthy when there’s a lot of biased instances, which I feel like there is currently
If you’re into political censorship and echo chambers, good for you. I value free speech, debates with diverse opinions
Said China doesn’t respect human rights because they’re doing a Uyghurs genocide, got banned from [email protected]
Yea, China #1, we love that they spy on their citizens, and don’t have freedom of speech
Not audited sadly
Any political instance is cringe
And lemmy.ml communities are often managed by pro-communists and they don’t like if you don’t trash talk capitalism as much as they want you to
That’s a sad part of Lemmy
Again, just relatively common sense.
Postfix etc… isn’t that hard to run. I selfhost a mailcow installation, which is considered “full” and “expensive to run” and it’s still really fine to run. Not expensive when scaling up to multiple users, the most important is the initial performance cost per instance.
We’re mostly paying for salaries and R&D I believe. They’re developing other services and stuff, but they could easily charge less and still be profitable, they just wouldn’t have this much reserves.
Perhaps they don’t realise that by lowering their subscription costs, they could get more users… like me

I feel like I prefer the voice I hear in my head than the voice I hear when I record myself :(
