Yep! Only about twice in several years though. Sometimes it’s the same company that started up or bough another company and gave your email without telling you.

I can’t wait until more YouTube creators move to Peertube + donation platforms like Liberapay!

This is great news

That’s a good question. To be honest with you, I’ve come across critiques of tankies on .ml as well as tankie nonsense. I’ve also come across some progressive discussion as well as USA apologism on .world.

So in my personal experience (may differ from others based on what communities we frequent) I haven’t experienced so much tankie or American apologist content that I’ve felt the need to leave either community.

I agree with your sentiment that .world is left of reddit - as is Lemmy in general.

What I have been seeing is some users on .world coming across any tankies and wanting to defederate while seeing some amounts of pro-US imperialism on .world but ignoring it since (imo) we’re desensitised to it especially coming from reddit.

I do not find that tankies define the communities I frequent on .ml any more than pro-US imperialism defines .world.

You can be left-leaning while also not a fan of neoliberalism. :)

I take issue with both the authoritarian left and authoritarian right: being an apologist for Soviet Russia as well as being an apologist for the USA is not OK in my opinion.

I find it futile to take a position on which is worse because that just gives space to be an apologist for one that’s “less bad”. I see this happening in this thread right now.

Should I defederate from both lemmy.world and lemmy.ml? Of course not. In fact, I find both to be more tolerable and cooperative than reddit today.

That’s why leftists are prone to like it.

This has not been my experience speaking to leftists at all.

Thank goodness nobody is locked into any one instance. The beauty of the fediverse.

The article addresses immigration if that’s what you’re alluding to.

I’m just going to leave this here.

I’ll allow it.

I agree with genie’s comment; at the end of the day they’re breakable.

I never would have expected to recommend these before purchasing but the Cascade Mountain Tech flick lock carbon poles with cork handles have lasted me for years. I’ve put 3000km+ on them between a thru hike, ultramarathons, etc, and have yet to break them. They’re also light and work well for pole-supported shelters due to adjustable height. Non-amazon link:

That being said, I have a friend who has snapped one by accidentally levering it between two boulders. Keep the baskets on to avoid this. So it really depends on how reckless you are with them. They do sell replacement parts including pole sections for a fair price.

If you have the cash, Leki poles are very high quality and I would highly recommend them.

Edit: oopsies, I meant to comment under the top-level comment.

The link from Indiana University School of Medicine may be preferable:

I could see people generating papers to support any quack argument on Facebook being a problem.

Fortunately, we have peer reviews and reputable scientific journals as a filter for this. However, with low scientific literacy, many may not know the difference.

Do you have a link? I can’t seem to find it.
