AppleTV is smooth but as others pointed out you shouldn’t trust their claims that they’re private. They’re probably more private than e.g. Google out of the box, but not an actual privacy company.

Side note: in case you’re an Apple user and you weren’t aware of this, you can make it a bit better by obtaining your private key so that you have actual E2EE and you can add hardware keys for 2FA which makes it more secure. Of course this should be the bare minimum but it’s nice that they support these things out of the box.

Maybe it’s worth checking if you’re okay with what kind of metadata they’re processing.

Don’t ever mention Winnie the Pooh

No porn and drugs but „free speech“? Yeah right, no thanks. If my account on mastodon gets banned on an instance I go somewhere else.

Of course if fediverse becomes too centralized the couple instances left might just defederate from everyone else, but OTOH what protects me from a couple individuals downvoting me into oblivion on Bastyon?

They’re both decentralized in their own way but communities have to fight against malicious actors that attack the decentralization.

Typical politician, identifies the problem only to draw the absolute wrong conclusion.

Proud of you. Done it a long time ago. Would do it again either

This all we need to know lmao, thanks

Meh it’s fine, the mods can insist that it’s racist and they can insist there’s no genocide happening in Xinjiang, and I won’t be there to argue with them. My ban may be expired but I won’t be back. I’ll keep calling them out on other instances tho, and even though the lemmy dev are tankies themselves I respect them for making such a concept possible.

They can call Obama a piece of shit as far as I’m concerned.

The mod was kinda right to remove the comment before that because that user is some Hasbara shill and was mentioning the Uyghurs as a deflection.

My issue isn’t with that, my issue is with the formulation “the Uyghur genocide narrative“. That’s literally the same shit that liberal media is saying about Gaza. So that’s what I mean, I’ll always be “yapping“ about the Uyghur genocide the same way I’m “yapping“ about the Ukraine & Gaza genocide. I don’t care who does it, it’s wrong.

Ah I love the modlog, convenient that I can see again what happened.

The whole Winnie thing became forbidden in China partly because the meme went super viral on Weibo and they didn’t want people in China to ridicule the supreme leader. Ban me for trolling the mod by equating them to Xi Jinping, I’m fine with that. I will think you should have a thicker skin but whatever. Using racism as a reason to ban me in this context is just censorship.

To provide the context for those too lazy to check the modlog, the comment I’m answering to is straight genocide denial. The Uyghurs are being held in concentration camps, sterilized and their language, religion, and heritage are being wiped out and .ml mods are denying that because it doesn’t fit in their world view.

Sorry but unfortunately it’s two sides of the same coin, at least from my experience.

I’m shitting on US and Western imperialism and their love for the Gaza genocide day in day out, had no problem to call the old senile fuck Genocide Joe and I argued against everyone who shilled for Kamala or the “lesser evil“ thing.

I got a lot of hatred for the latter part on .world and I often disagree with their liberal views. I criticized liberal media for fabricating certain narratives and some users thought I’m some MAGA brain damaged idiot. Some users really aren’t the smartest or at least very much stuck in their bi-partisan world view.

Anyway so now that you know all of this about me, I’m also criticizing Chinese and Russian imperialism + genocide the same way. I got banned after like 1 comment on .ml for that and they said it’s for “racism“.

I honestly don’t see any difference, it’s just that .world and .ml users picked different teams. And I got banned faster in .ml lol

I got banned for ‚racism‘ in some community when I said China is committing genocide against the Uyghurs. I also say Russia is doing it against Ukrainians and Israel against Palestinians, but it doesn’t matter. I thought .ml can’t be as bad as everyone says because I’m not exactly in the liberal camp but I had to learn that they are really bad…

I want to experience the VR police brutality with the haptic feedback, you know it’s only a matter of time. They could just ban you but it’s much more fun to punch you virtually and make you feel it irl

But also check out the booty

Hahahaha you honestly got me there

Ok since no one seems to remember this I was hoping to give people a surprise. It’s a guy wearing a wristwatch on a really phat dick lol. You don’t see it at first but when you notice it’s hilarious. I don’t want to a buy a watch actually, I just want to see the watch dick.

There’s no image, I couldn’t find it yet. Hoping anyone has still a screen of the post.

Post meme as a tribute

Trying my best. It’s a really beautiful watch I wouldn’t try so hard otherwise!

Damn must be a different post. Idk why the archive says it’s this one.
