- Comment on YSK: What a Proxy War is. 9 hours ago:
In political science, a proxy war is an armed conflict where at least one of the belligerents is directed or supported by an external third-party power. In the term proxy war, a belligerent with external support is the proxy; both belligerents in a proxy war can be considered proxies if both are receiving foreign military aid from a third party country. Acting either as a nation-state government or as a conventional force, a proxy belligerent acts in behalf of a third-party state sponsor.[1]
That’s a very loose definition of a proxy war, by that metric basically any war since globalisation is a proxy war.

Good post, bookmarked. A lot of fediverse people who react almost reactionary against bluesky are well meaning, but don’t really understand how it works. This is good content, thanks.

I don’t think that’s a completely fair comparison. They are both state tools for establishing power through narratives. They are both heavily biased.
But RT is Orwellian in that it just makes shit up and has no respect for even appearing credible. While RFE/RFL tends to be biased towards publishing pro-western stories, but they don’t tend to make shit up from scratch.
Of course, who knows what the fuck is happening there right now, my analysis is pre-Trump 2024.

Just FYI, if you hadn’t seen already, lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of the month.
(I’m just reminding people this so they don’t think the server just stopped working and get annoyed.)
Ie. You’ll be able to continue interacting with lemmy by making an account on a new server. :)
- Comment on How Academics Are Pushing Back on the For-Profit Academic Publishing Industry 2 days ago:
I think Cartel and Mafia both have their merits when talking about the for-profit publishing industry.
I would call them “leeches”. I see them like landlords. Charging you money for something basically no labour has to be done to support.
It’s reentierism.

- Comment on YSK about your search engines, and whether they have a independent search engine or not 3 days ago:
Very much a hit or miss, but I’ve enjoyed the marginalia search index.
Otherwise I just use duckduckgo for simplicity’s sake. But when I want a non-commercial result marginalia is my go-to:

Actually @poVoq@slrpnk.net was wondering if possible to recover my account since it’s pretty obviously my alt. If not possible, no worries, totally understand.

- Comment on What's a good instance to be on at the moment? 4 days ago:
Since you mention you have no real opinions about lemm.ee. You were just on there by chance.
I’ll propose you the style of blahaj which is to have downvotes disabled, its quite a different way to interact with lemmy, maybe a bit weird to get used to. But it feels much less hostile. And it fosters a good culture of just ignoring shitty takes and replies.

Honestly this is such a waste of money. Like why are you spending money on this while making disabled people homeless??

Which is great until I lost my password 😂 @FundMECFS@slrpnk.net will sit empty forever I guess.

So discriminatory.

Yeah. Our vibe here is kinda dark, and I feel that way as an adult who’se gone through lots of shit. It’s not the most cheery place. Trying to change that a little by little, cuz I love a lot of people here and it’s so unique!

- Comment on In this day and age is it possible to create a commune? With majority of vegetables coming from one acre and all put in to get wifi to our subdivision? So the bill is not that high? 5 days ago:
A lot of people buy flour and rice (the grains) and grow the fancy stuff (nice fruits and veg) and maybe have some meat roaming like chickens, themselves. For that use case 1 acre can cover a person easy if doing a smart permaculture type style. (Obviously monocultures take way more space per calorie).
I would recommend looking into aquaponics as well if space is a constraint.

I like the downvotes disabled model.
It also means that the “active” sort algorithm doesn’t promote posts that get lots of “downvotes” -> engagement
