2001 especially.

Left or right is an economic stance

What about the social stance?

Wouldn’t they have this kind of prediction every other week due to the intense threat, but this one happened to be true? If that’s the case, it is a bit easy to come after the fact and say that this one should have been considered better than the 20 others.
European countries, for example, are constantly getting attacked, even if it’s rarely big enough to be noticed in the current times.

In 2022, 16 terrorist attacks took place in the EU and an additional 12 attacks failed or were foiled. https://www.europol.europa.eu/cms/sites/default/files/documents/European Union Terrorism Situation and Trend report 2023.pdf

Boss, you’ll never guess why I can’t make it today.

Some humans become lactose intolerant as they grow up, not all of them.

And reinforce their cult of violence?

For mage in pain:

@innermeerkat Pardon, mais les logiciels libres sont par essence de gauche.

Il y a peut-être des influences de gauche, mais les figures de proue comme Torvald ou Stallman n’ont jamais affiché d’affiliations politiques au-delà de leur combat pour le logiciel libre, autant que je sache.
En outre, il y a tout un tas de producteur de logiciels libres qui ne le sont clairement pas. Par exemple, les géants ou les startups de la tech de la Silicon Valley qui sont les principaux pourvoyeurs de logiciels libres et qui sont très loin de l’extrême gauche, ils sont plutôt économiquement libertariens. Ils y trouvent d’autres bénéfices que ceux provenant de la vente directe de logiciels : revue par les pairs, co-construction, image de marque, recrutement, création de standards, développement d’un écosystème favorable, etc.
Je pense qu’il faut se méfier du biais de gauche de considérer que tout ce qui a l’air humaniste et gratuit est forcément de gauche.

Over the past 20 years, just six banks – Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, Itaú Unibanco, Santander, Bank of America, and HSBC– are responsible for almost half (46%) of all direct financing for oil and gas operations in Amazonia.

Who is he saying good night and good morning to, though? That’s the scary part.

Having a population of 5.6 M probably makes a lot of problems more manageable.

If they are capable of taking this decision during such an important time, why would an internet petition change their views? The only way to have them do it is regulation that will hurt their turnover if they don’t comply.

Do you find lemmy.world defending the USA wrongdoing to be of a comparable extent as lemmy.ml defending the authoritarian left regimes wrongdoing?
I feel like lemmy.world is still pretty left compared to reddit and very commonly criticizing all the stupid wars the USA have been into as well as its support for Israel in its current war.

Because it’s not just any political view, tankism is part of the ideologies that support regimes which unmistakably restrict the freedom of speech. This could be an issue for an internet forum.
It’s actually not different from having a right wing billionaire buying a social media. It’s very much the same thing, and most people on the fediverse are there to avoid this kind of political influences on the platform.

And if I wanted to participate, I’d probably be welcome so long as I follow the rules.

Not only the rules, you also have to avoid critizing the dominant ideology, otherwise you will get at best dog pilled, at worse harassed and censored by moderation.

Lemmy.world is ran by Zionists.

Do you mean people in favor of the existence of a state of Israel (original meaning) which is most of the Western world, so unsurprising, or in favor of the colonization after the 1993 “two states solution” agreement?
If it’s the later, do you have proof?

FYI, the second main dev, Nutomic, although he doesn’t write as much, is in the same ideology, his avatar is Fidel Castro, the Cuban dictator.

During their AMA, 10 months ago, I directly asked them:

Since you’re very upfront with your political preferences, how much did it play a role in motivating you to create Lemmy? Was it a tech experiment first and a political project second?
Do you have some kind of core principle to not let your political preferences excessively interfere with your role as founders, main developers and moderators of Lemmy?

Thanks for your work, it’s projects like that keep the ideal of the open internets alive. https://lemmy.ml/post/2920188/2385128

They intentionally ignored my questions and answered to other later questions with fewer points.

Eventually, 10 months later, my personal observation is that it seems that they keep their ideology tendencies to their home instance, which is fair enough since people are free to leave and block. And they don’t seem to be developing some centralized International political oppression feature into Lemmy, like their role models may have, so far.

Don’t forget that you can block an instance personally now.

Imagine all the Pol Pot…
