I’m not a mod anymore, but downvotes are disabled on beehaw.

I think a sports community might be a better fit for this. I’m also noting that you’re getting downvotes, which are necessarily off-instance since they aren’t supported on Beehaw.

But right now I don’t find any sports communities while searching, and so that makes me think it can stay here for now. This is related to an international event, even if it is a sports event.

It has nothing to do with us.

I think you will find that the liberal-capitalist world order with some semblance of norms like national self determination and resistance to overt nationalistic annexation does benefit the US.

Note that I’m not saying I like this world order, or the US politic. But your assertion looks false to my eyes. Even if there was no moral issue of enabling Ukrainian self defense because Ukrainian self defense is a moral good, the USA benefits from preventing authoritarian regimes from using military force to swallow up their neighbors. And so do the European countries.

? For me it’s right there, not sure what to say.

It’s just in the main calling app, the standard ‘phone’ one. Possibly a Graphene exclusive.

For me, on a phone call, there just is a button to start.

I still have it on my GrapheneOS Pixel

I would rather give them a higher amount of higher-cost and more accurate weapons. I know why the US wouldn’t, and why Ukraine accepts this. It’s their choice in the end.

I don’t think we particularly need to celebrate this though.

“In the past, it was not uncommon for an archaeologist to find (remains) and say, ‘OK, this individual has a sword and a shield. Therefore, he’s a man.’ Of course, deeply mistaken, because it assumes that in the past gender roles were the way we conceive them today,” García Sanjuán said.

Just to put it out there, but no serious archeologist has believed this for a while.

Consider the two clearly gay women burried together in an Old Norse tomb, with their cannabis seeds and Swastika-engraved Buddha statue. The idea that male dominance and disarming of women is universal is not something anyone can believe after making a serious study of history.

Just consider the Albanian women who took up male identities to become warriors. Note that I’m still referring to them here as women since arguably these historical practices are less about trans identity and more about social positions.

They are trying to force users into their app is what they were thinking.

And they removed my comments among others, for calling the Chinese state a colonial and imperialist state.

Hm really? I saw a few links to posts on reddit with the same username as the lemmy.ml admin. Those posts were extremely Yikes.

Edit: The lemmy.ml admin was removing my posts critical of the Chinese State, so it seems true.

There’s other posts by the same user - which can be found on Reddit - where that person does confirm being the original dev. I’m also seeing other people from around the platform confirming it. I’m not saying that’s 100%, but it does seem as if the genocide-denying Tankie lemmy.ml admin is one of the principal devs.

Yup! The face of genocide & forum administration.

Regardless of whether that’s true, one of those devs seems to be a genocide supporter. Not even a denier, but a supporter.

I have to hope that main instances will stop federating Lemmygrad at some point. There’s no place, IMO, for genocide denial/affirmation and authoritarian extremism on platforms like these. Or any platforms.

So long as the entry points like join-lemmy aren’t controlled, then yes it is a possibly good solution. I’m not stating facts at this point, only stating my concern about what I saw.

What concerns me just now is whether join-lemmy the website is controlled by them or not. So far I don’t know if it is- But if the entry points are guarded by genocide-supporting (not denying) left-fascists, then that does pose a significant issues.

BTW, these ifs I’m using aren’t rhetoric devices. I’m not stating this as fact. There seems to be indicators of concern- Is what I’m saying.

The evidence I’ve seen is compiled mainly in these posts:
