Mr. Mamdani’s victory upended city politics and reverberated nationally. He relied on a memorable message, charisma and a strong ground game.

"Where Mr. Cuomo lectured from a distance, Mr. Mamdani took his campaign to the streets and asked questions. When other #progressives traded 10-point plans, Mr. Mamdani offered simple, concrete ideas for a city buckling under spiraling costs: free buses, child care and a rent freeze. He may have been outspent on TV and dismissed by newspaper editorial boards, but he turned his candidacy into something closer to a movement that jumped from social media to an army of volunteers."

This is also why people think Lemmy is nothing but tankies because they're ok with that image.

Which is why I advocate for pushing large instances, like .world, to defederate as they have for the other 2 instances in the Triad

We can't force .ml offline and we can't force them to install an actually unbiased and fair admin team.

But we can control our association with them, if the rest of the network defeds from them at the very least we can all say "yea they're there, but we've cut ourselves off from them because they're nuts" and I think that could go very far

Sounds like CF is just offering it as a service to their customers (e.g. platform/website operators). CF will handle detection and billing, but the money will mostly be going to the website (minus fees, I'm sure they're not doing it for free)

So if it's a content creator running their own website through CF then that money would definitely be going towards them. It gets muddier when it's a platform like say Patreon or big social media.

Yea, the Threadiverse refers to all of the federated "Reddit-like" link aggregation social media, so it includes Lemmy, Mbin, PieFed and Sublinks (if it ever comes out)

Thanks for confirming that you do indeed think of any instance not toeing the Triads preferred narratives as "Nazi Instances"

This user is a long since tagged Tankie that just referred to .world/SJW as "The Nazi Instance" for calling attention to a clear misinfo "source" being put out as "news"

Just checked a .ml user profile I know to be prolific, the last votes it had were from April 29, so that's probably when they got blocked and it's just a cached version

If you know of a new .ml user that was made after then and it doesn't pull up with them, then that's def what happened

I think whatever shadow instance lemvotes uses either doesn't federate with .ml or .ml blocked it (I can't imagine why they'd do that though!/s lmao)
