If the reason for this is to prevent pedophilia content, then this will do nothing. People who access that sort of thing on the dark web aren't going to be affected by this whatsoever.

Is your instance promoting actively cultivating essentially a troll army to go and push pro-dictatorship propaganda across other instances and brigade threads?
If no, then you should be fine.
Do you seriously not see a difference between Russia and China's governments versus the United States?
Heck, South Korea and Japan have their own conservative shitheads in power problems as well, but they are still fundamentally democracies like the United States, whereas Russia and China are not.
Now if only lemmy.world admins can be convinced to defederate from the rest of the dictatorship supporting tankie trash instances.
What's "woke" exactly about tankies? They're just the far left version of far right fascism. They just have apologia for a different set of dictatorial oligarchies.
I really think all the artists still on there are shooting themselves in the foot in the long run.
And that obviously has already started with the direct messaging restrictions that messes with contacting commissioners.
If you read the linked thread, it's because of the BBC's increased bigotry toward LGBT+ people over the past few years.
I mean, I'm using Chrome right now, but if they actually implement this and my ad blocker stops working, I'm switching to Opera or something.
Do they really expect to not lose browser users with this move?
So, we're all agreed then that tankies aren't leftist, right? Because the claimed "communist" countries, such as Russia and China, are extremely capitalist in the worst possible ways.
Yeah, I don't get it either. I rather easily went through and deleted all of my posts and comments. It was quite freeing, really.
I also went through each sub that I moderated (solo, since I didn't want to cause conflict with any co-mods or others) and both privated them and set them to NSFW. I did set the co-run ones to NSFW though and they haven't been changed back yet, so I guess the others are okay with that.
And I have yet to receive any messages from admins telling me to change them back. I go and check my account every week or so. Nothing's changed.
So, how long should we expect until Mr. Diaz Jr. finds himself without a job for speaking out against the "will of the state"?
