cultural reviewer and dabbler in stylistic premonitions
And I never got the actual reason
imo the reason is pretty clear in the modlog you’re linking to. the ban duration was disproportionate though, so, i just unbanned you. (please do not advocate for the use of telegram in !privacy@lemmy.ml though! lmao)
This led to a few larger instances blocking it (.world I think is the kargst to have done so) blocking it, so their users cannot access *.ml communities.
Huh? Lemmy.world has not blocked lemmy.ml, nor have (correct me if i’m wrong?) any other large instances.
Here is this very comment from me (on lemmy.ml) viewable on lemmy.world, btw.
The existing chess community on lemmy.ml/c/chess seems to be dead
it looks like !chess@lemmy.ml is averaging a few posts per month this year and has 2.4k subscribers; not very active but i wouldn’t call it dead.
moderators are not reachable
the mods do seem inactive; i and other lemmy.ml admins remove spam if/when it gets reported (which has happened four times this year). if someone (with some posting history) wants to be added as a mod of it just let me know and i’ll add you.
and is hosted on .ml which is defederated by many instances
huh? which instances have defederated lemmy.ml?
which music genres do you like?
Did you not read the post? OP clearly says:
I ran the numbers and I like every single music genre pretty much equally
😂
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.
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
This is offtopic here, but here is an answer 🙄 (click to expand)
Because it isn’t secure. It is marketed as being secure, and it is not. It is snake oil.
yes, i am aware that they are (again) currently blocked. i’m curious your theory for why they were unblocked after the previous blocks? (note: please don’t actually reply to this question here; see end of this comment first)
yes, you are mistaken.
Russia has strengthened and later weakened their restrictions on Telegram various times over the years for reasons which are probably unknowable without insider information. What is clear is that Telegram is absolutely sharing data (which they’ve chosen to design their service such that they can have access to) with various governments at various times; assuming that they never would share any with Russia is nonsensical. The extent to which they willingly share which data with which governments, versus which governments access data without their cooperation (by compromising their servers or coercing their engineers, which gives access to message contents due to their lack of e2ee) is not particularly interesting.
Beyond that, I recommend that you post on !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world or somewhere similar if you need people to explain why telegram is offtopic in communities about privacy technology. (This discussion is very offtopic in this thread so I won’t reply further here. If you really feel the need to argue about the above I recommend you do it in a new thread somewhere it isn’t offtopic; if you tag me maybe i’ll reply there.)
