  • When I started using lemmy I just grabbed every app for it and tried them all. Boost is the closest I was able to find, and it has a ton of options to get it looking and feeling like RIF. The others were good, but just different. I liked RIF because of how simplistic it was, boost thankfully gives that same simplistic feel.



  • Here’s you making excuses for removing all the Russians from the contributor list: “Russia invaded a sovereign nation…but that’s a petty dispute…are you sure you’re on the right instance? Sounds like you need to recreate your account here on ml…”

    Where is that a excuse? I was pointing out that it’s not a petty dispute, russia is trying to wipe out Ukraine…the fuck.

    Your logic, if you can call it that, is that if the country you’re from invades a sovereign nation, it makes sense to get kicked off the list. Guess which country invades sovereign nations every 3-6 years.

    Ooo oo, I know this one…is it…whataboutism again for $400 alex?

    To make another point, of course the US is relevant, its government is the one making this exact thing happen.

    Yea…no it’s not, russia is doing that on their own.

    No more excuses, champ. Gotta look reality straight in the face.

    Ok. Reality, russia is a fucked up authoritarian state that willfully sends it’s people to rape, murder and commit war crimes, like it got its war plans from the viking era. How’s that for some reality. Champ.

    lol no it isn’t.

    Yea…yea it is.

    Yes we all know this.

    Sweet…are we getting somewhere…

    The US has invaded at least 4 sovereign nations in the last 21 years. It has bombed far more in that time, including couping Libya, turning it from the highest HDI country into a failed state with open air slave markets.

    Ahhh nope apparently not…still humping about the USA.

    The RF has been comparatively less harsh on civilians. Look at what the US, NATO, and Israel do to civilians. They bomb residential buildings, pharmaceutical factories, hospitals, schools, buses, civilian infrastructure. Millions died in Iraq, about half children, in the 90s due to the US systematically destroying civilian infrastructure and then coordinsting tight sanctions.

    Hahahhaha holy fuck…o wait you’re a tankie…

    And do you know what preceded the RF invasion? Ukraine ramping up its civilian shelling campaign in Donbas.

    And a russian apologist…man this is just hilarious…you really are following the .ml tankie guidelines.

    Given what the West does with its power that is a smart position to take.

    Lol for all the west’s faults, we’re still not even half as murderous as the authoritarian dictatorships you love.

    Yes and? You’re just admitting that this is a chauvinist political move headed by the United States.

    Yea no…

    It’s not a security risk at all, the Linux team has tight review procedures and all of these people have been making contributions as maintainers. There were zero concerns raised about their code.

    Because it’s easier to just use sanctions as the reason. The idea that a authoritarian state wouldn’t force their devs to create backdoors for their state is hilariously naive, but you won’t see it that way because you’re a brainwashed tankie.

    PS the US is not entitled to the world and every international project.

    Yea no shit? Who said they are?




  • No this has nothing to do with the USA right now. It’s a strawman to whip out the “but the USA” card. Russia has sanctions, they invaded a sovereign nation, and are willfully targeting civilians. They’re fully against the west at this point, allowing them continued access to help build tools the west uses, is not only against the current sanctions, it’s also a dumb security risk as well.
