Thank you for taking your time to reply, but you misunderstood my question.

I think they would be more moderate if more moderate people would have opportunity to participate. Right now all of the non left instances or communities get too quickly defederated and deleted, so moderate people who would normally participate dont want to create na account on a completely defederated instance. The only thing you are left of there are some crazies.

The only way I heard of conservative communities here is from a post that is asking for defederation or deletion

You speak a different language. I dont follow these terms

I have no idea who are wokies. How exactly are admins standing for free speech when they are defederating, banning religious communities or anyone who disagrees with them.

You guys really just want people who think the same way as you on your instance. You should clearly state that instead of letting people waste their time here.

After long periods of not using GUIs, I found myself very confused every time I want to do something. I was trying to insert a code block into Power Point yesterday, took me half an hour of googling and didn’t manage to do it. With Latex, I googled and in 2 minutes I had a code block.

Sure, but some countries are more neutral, hosting in Switzerland would be for sure better, while USA is probably the worst choice.

And you wouldn’t need to worry about it if you could host your own server and be able to communicate with other servers, like Lemmy is doing, you get the best of both worlds

They had to do it, but this is the downside using a git server hosted in non neutral country. You never know when USA will decide to impose sanctions on a country for whatever reason.

It is one of the reasons many European companies do not use Github, as it is USA based.

Yes they did:

• GitHub suspends accounts of Russian developers linked to sanctioned firms
• GitHub confirms it has blocked developers in Iran, Syria and Crimea

Well not really, you would need an account in the organization in order to create issues, pull requests for a privately hosted instance. You can see the public repository but apart from cloning you cannot do anything else.

While Gitlab.com is centrally hosted, not much different than Github, you still cannot communicate with other Gitlab hosted servers.

Thanks. There is also a Gitlab issue requesting this feature, which I am tracking.

It needs to reach a polished state before organizations and university adapt it. So something like what you linked probably wont fly.

Advantage of Github over Gitlab is code discoverability. My organization hosts Gitlab instance but I would still rather host my open source project on Github instead, because its impossible to collaborate on Gitlab with external users who dont have an account on our instance.

Once there is a federation feature similar to Lemmy, I would be happy to host everything there.

Prime journalism we have here, pulling information out of ass:

• “according to UK officials”,
• "In its latest update … workers are most likely … ",
• “The MoD update said … authorities are highly likely threatening”,
• “One company has reportedly been set a target of 30 volunteers”,
• "The move will likely primarily affect … ",
• “This measure is highly likely at least tacitly endorsed by Moscow mayor …”,
• "Russia is thought to have suffered around 200,000 casualties … "

Didn’t name any sources, just vaguely UK officials (could be anyone). Every other word is likely, meaning they are just speculating.

Complete bullshit on that article I have to say.

Can you give me an article, because I could not find anything googling, maybe I didn’t put the right search terms. I found a website under the domain boycottrussia.info, but a website like this I can hardly consider objective. Keep in mind there is a lot of disinformation on the internet, and one should be careful using references from both the Russian and Ukranian governments and their allies.

Applying the same standard, should we boycott also all companies having business in Saudi Arabia, USA, and other countries that are involved in war efforts?

The international sponsor list is a list by Ukranian government, for all the companies that are doing business in Russia. Totally understandable move from their side of course. By actively sponsoring war effort, I think they are refering to the fact that they are paying taxes.

The title and the article is a bit misleading in some sense.

Sadly USA was not charged for war crimes for using it in the past.

First of all, the USA is not the center of the world, the problems you guys have with mass shooting is not caused by the “hate speech”.

And again banning hate speech is just masking the deeper institutional/educational problems you have, not solving them.

Interesting, so like the USA is doing?

Including corporations, that’s why we are all on lemmy, is it not? 😉

Not every country has the same law, the fact that the law exists doesn’t mean its a good law.

Its forbidden to mention nazi Germany? I guess we should just forget about it and let it happen again, because it hurts your argument.
