As others have said it is a huge amount of work to maintain a fork of such a complicated piece of software.

Especially around security: web browsers constantly process potentially-malicious data, which gives them a large attack surface. Every browser regularly has new vulnerabilities discovered which must be fixed. Hard forking a browser means that, even ignoring any bugs in the new code the fork has added, every time a bug is discovered and fixed in the code they forked from someone needs to analyze the upstream’s fix and port it to the fork. The more they diverge, the more work this is. Failing to do this work lets any malicious website exploit the bugs and install malware on users’ computers.

They absolutely eat bread

By “they don’t” the person you’re replying to means “they shouldn’t”.

Search for “bread” and “birds” to find thousands of web pages explaining why bread is bad for birds and you should not feed it to them.

sure.

moderator reports still don’t federate to other instances

you are mistaken. reports are federated from the reporter’s instance to the community’s instance, as well as to the instances of all moderators of the community, and to the instance of the user who posted the comment or post being reported.

colonies

If you think China colonized Xinjiang, well… yeah, they did. But that was 22 centuries ago, a millennium before the [people now known as] Uyghurs had even arrived there. The demographics and ruling empires unsurprisingly changed a few times in the ensuing millennia, but since the Qing dynasty committed the Dzungar genocide there (from 1755–1758, with help of several peoples including Han and Uyghur) it has mostly remained a part of China.

The ancient history is interesting, but more recent events (eg Al-Qaeda-affiliated groups the US has been funding there) are more relevant to the present situation.

I did watch the first three minutes. Everything he shows is true, everything he explains as interpretation is just full of shit.

What specifically is he full of shit about? I recommend watching more than three minutes of it.

Here and here are two texts on the subject which cover some of the same things as that video (albeit not from a first-hand person-from-the-US-traveling-in-Xinjiang perspective like the video does).

i recommend this recent video by Eric Hovagim to learn more about the Uyghur topic (but i guess you’ll probably skip it based on its title?)

that kernel release (which most distros have still not shipped yet) fixes only one of the two vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-43284); afaik even upstream still doesn’t have a patch for the second one (CVE-2026-43500) at this time.

(for people relying on Linux privilege separation, here are mitigation instructions.)

Okay it’s not fake-fake, just so awful you need a PhD in Chinese Language to understand it

As someone helpfully explained to you in that thread:

You’re trying to explain how Israelis’ indifference to Palestinian suffering is valid

also btw my participation in this sub-thread began by replying to your challenging someone to find examples of you “defending the right” and… yeah, the above-linked thread is obvs one of them

for anyone else reading this who might be curious, this is the deleted comment in question and this is the context in which it was posted 🙄

I’m willing to bet genocide apologia was

again, you don’t need to speculate: the modlog is public

the most recent comment you had deleted was for violating rule 1 of !leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

before that it was for racism, genocide apologia, etc etc.

i recommend reading your own modlog and reflecting on it.

it’s been well over 6 months since anyone from .ml removed one of your comments; your bigotry lately has instead been getting removed by mods from many other places (including several from your own instance).

ok 🙄

is there any evidence whatsoever, or is this belief that they simply must have received and suppressed some trump-related smoking gun just blueanon dogma?

they chose to withhold information

citation needed

https://github.com/rimu/no-qanon/blob/master/domains.txt includes… wikileaks.org 🤦

afaik WikiLeaks still enjoys a spotless accuracy record and obviously has never promoted QAnon.

The fact that some QAnon promoters have themselves cited some WikiLeaks publications is, in my opinion at least, not a reason to prohibit linking to WikiLeaks (a site which hasn’t published anything new recently but continues to host a massive archive of public interest documents).

I was surprised to find that dbzer0 has 290 communities.

I guess they have 290 communities which are federated to the instance where you’re collecting these stats; according to dbzer0’s front page they actually have 332 communities. (Also your screenshot shows 1337 communities on lemmy.ml but we actually have 4.74K, and 3919 for .world which actually has 13.1K.)
