KIA as in the car brand? What the hell are they even doing on .ml?

It's a shame so many default to .ml without any knowledge of who owns and runs the instance...

Thanks for the long reply. I was just ranting but that what I try to do but I don't want my time on lemmy be spent with infighting but at the same time I cannot let their ideas go around unchecked.

lol in France we got the same but it's basically just one guy who owns all the media.

Hot take: I mean what are we supposed to do? I'm tired of having to witness the spread of propaganda/misinfo. I'm am even more tired of having to accept the fact that they can suppress and silence any of the smallest scent of opposition against their propaganda.

They should be defederated from every other instance. How much disinformation is acceptable? how many lies are okay? How many walls of text, questions and bombardment of links meant to stall any debate can pass as valid counterpoints when their objectives are clear?

I know I can block them but it's not about me but the fediverse in general. Their mindset is poisonous and completely detrimental to what we are trying to achieve as a collective group.

I don't want to instigate any other vote on my instance as I feel like I've already gone too far on getting a vote on hex and grad to be settled. I certainly do not want to impose my way of thinking on fellow users of my instance.

But I don't want people joining lemmy and having to see or go through this rubbish.

Well once you take out all the ads and algorithm it's not all that bad. It wouldn't be my favourite but it would have some character.

Nobara because I couldn't be arsed to configure Fedora on my desktop and MacOS because MacBook.

So I guess I'm the American Psycho guy with a PlayStation controller sitting on my golden shitter.

 

Hello everyone, so I don't know about you but ever since I started tagging people with many different tags and now my list is getting quite big.

I wish I could search and display certain users based on their tags. As in if I tagged users "🇬🇧" I would like it to be possible to only display users with that specific tag.

Again thank you for imo the best Lemmy app.

Brave take at the top of the screenshot which was then flooded by minions of the grad.

I tried to not post any Cowbee because it was too easy but you're welcome to check out the thread and post your own findings.

 

Hello everyone!

So I have just bought myself (of course at the expense of one of my kidneys) a MacBook Pro M4. So far well it's an absolute great machine. It is the first time for me to ever use a Mac and I'm really enjoying it.

I'm curious if any of you have some recommendations for some Youtube channels that specifically focus on MacOS content?

I'm busy right now playing around with homebrew and discovering some linux commands and I'm amazed to find that my favorite apps can run on this machine. Just overall really excited.

Thanks in advance everyone :)

Honorable mention for the one bellow wondering what bad decisions the DPRK has taken.

Edit: Title typo

 

So as usual the level of irony and hypocrisy is difficult to grasp.

Here this one using Memri TV meme to do dunk on the French.

For those who don't know MEMRI TV is Israeli propaganda that's made to paint the Arab world in a negative picture.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East_Media_Research_Institute

Critics describe MEMRI as a strongly pro-Israel advocacy group that, in spite of describing itself as being "independent" and "non-partisan" in nature,[5][6][7] aims to portray the Arab world and the Muslim world in a negative light by producing and disseminating incomplete or inaccurate translations of the original versions of the media reports that it re-publishes.[8][9] It has also been accused of selectively focusing on the views of Islamic extremists while de-emphasizing or ignoring mainstream opinions.[10]

 

SYDNEY, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Australia said it will fine internet platforms up to 5% of their global revenue for failing to prevent the spread of misinformation online, joining a worldwide push to rein in borderless tech giants but angering free speech advocates.

The government said it would make tech platforms set codes of conduct governing how they stop dangerous falsehoods spreading, to be approved by a regulator. The regulator would set its own standard if a platform failed to do so, then fine companies for non-compliance.

The legislation, to be introduced in parliament on Thursday, targets false content that hurts election integrity or public health, calls for denouncing a group or injuring a person, or risks disrupting key infrastructure or emergency services.

The bill is part of a wide-ranging regulatory crackdown by Australia, where leaders have complained that foreign-domiciled tech platforms are overriding the country's sovereignty, and comes ahead of a federal election due within a year.

Already Facebook owner Meta (META.O), opens new tab

has said it may block professional news content if it is forced to pay royalties, while X, formerly Twitter, has removed most content moderation since being bought by billionaire Elon Musk in 2022.

"Misinformation and disinformation pose a serious threat to the safety and wellbeing of Australians, as well as to our democracy, society and economy," said Communications Minister Michelle Rowland in a statement.

"Doing nothing and allowing this problem to fester is not an option."

An initial version of the bill was criticised in 2023 for giving the Australian Communications and Media Authority too much power to determine what constituted misinformation and disinformation, the term for intentionally spreading lies.

Rowland said the new bill specified the media regulator would not have power to force the takedown of individual pieces of content or user accounts. The new version of the bill protected professional news, artistic and religious content, while it did not protect government-authorised content.

Some four-fifths of Australians wanted the spread of misinformation addressed, the minister said, citing the Australian Media Literary Alliance.

Meta, which counts nearly nine in 10 Australians as Facebook users, declined to comment. Industry body DIGI, of which Meta is a member, said the new regime reinforced an anti-misinformation code it last updated in 2022, but many questions remained.

X was not immediately available for comment.

Opposition home affairs spokesman James Paterson said that while he had yet to examine the revised bill, "Australians' legitimately-held political beliefs should not be censored by either the government, or by foreign social media platforms".

The Australia Communications and Media Authority said it welcomed "legislation to provide it with a formal regulatory role to combat misinformation and disinformation on digital platforms".

Bonjour tout le monde,

Je souhaite partager mon opinion à propos de la situation actuelle de notre fédération aux autres instances. Je suis d'accord avec la décision de ne plus être fédérés avec les instances pornographique (on évite pas mal d'incidents en publics comme ça).

Le plus important c'est que l'on soit fédérés à toutes les autres instances. J'adore le fait qu'on soit capable de voir des posts de beehaw.org et que l'on puisse échanger avec eux. J'adore pouvoir voir les posts de scènes de ménages entre lemmy.ml et lemmy.world. j'éspère que l'on va pouvoir continuer à observer tout ça depuis notre petite instance et j'invite tout le monde à être conscient sur des règles et des utilisateurs sur les instances sur lesquels ils postes de manière à éviter d'enfreindre certaines règles d'instances. Je ne parle pas de censures mais je fais juste un rappel. la situation actuelle de notre instance est plutôt bonne et j'éspère que l'on pourra la garder un maximum de temps dans cette situation.
