Why would the IRS make software for the states, it doesn’t make sense.

Maybe satellite location was some of the info Trump sold to the Kremlin.

As I said, I’m talking about the US gov vs Chinese gov.

You think there’s more corruption in the US government than the CCP? That China’s market is more free? Give me a break.

You’re going to be waiting a long time to get reliable numbers out of the CCP.

it’s potentially even a hostile act.

Love seeing people spread awareness of bunker fuel. It’s absolutely terrible and would be illegal if humans were rational and wanted to survive as a species

I didn’t vote on your post, but want to say that you’re not going to convince many people with an antagonistic approach.

“let’s block people with opinions I don’t like”

I don’t think a lot of them are actually people, but rather LLMs. Also, does it count as “people with opinions” when it’s shills paid to spread authoritarian propaganda?

I do agree we should limit personal blocking, but that’s because we need to collectively manage the Fediverse. There’s no budget for countering misinformation campaigns, just us.

Instances blocking propaganda instances, on the other hand, is fantastic. It’s what we need for the Fediverse to survive instead of going the way of Voat and other extremist communities.

Lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml, and Hexbear.

Yeah but whatabout the 30 million people Mao killed

The first wasn’t coincidental. He said “hey they might murder me” then he died right before testifying.

The entire board should go

…to prison.

• USA organisations abuse social media to spy on and influence citizens.
• Chinese organisationsgenocidal dictatorship abuse social media to spy on and influence citizens.

Good luck to both of us, friend.

Well said, although I think the first point is the only one that justified banning it.
