North Atlantic Fascist Organisation seems to be losing, which is funny considering how much the entire Anglo world is trying to propagandise and cope with the constant barrage of lies.
This is a very interesting and useful device. Thanks!
If you want to practice xenophobic discrimination, this might not be the instance for you. This behaviour has zero tolerance here.
The above poster specifically "corrected" parent commenter, knowing very well the conspiratorial xenophobic notions he was propagating. Most Anglo people never talk about China/Russia (or any country that is NOT a "western neoliberal democracy" or its vassal state) in good faith, because Cold War McCarthyist poison is filled in their heads, resulting in a knee jerk reaction whenever they see the words "China" or "Russia". There is no reason why Anglosphere participants should be given benefit of doubt, when instead of following by example, they continue to get more vitriolic everyday. I am happy that Russians cannot be dehumanised on Lemmy, considering how much of a cesspool Reddit is.
They folded like paper when it came to keeping subreddit blacked out.
Best I see that this makes its way to the media. When USA can bail out all the banks, protecting an important propaganda machine like Reddit becomes very easy.
I am not offensive when I say this, but I think you will treat socialists as a lot more friendly when you stop being bombarded with and/or consuming media that propagates Cold War McCarthyist crap. We live in very turbulent and toxic times, and I think if you can see some light now, you could make it to the end of this tunnel.
I am trying to scrape the bottom of the barrel of your comment, trying to find something wrong. It has been a few hours. Please help me, sweetie.
3 years on and I am committed to bolstering Lemmy and being its vanguard. I have decided that Fediverse will win, and so, it will win. There is no room for error, and no tolerance for corporate Western tech companies' abuse of users.
Everything is archived by ArchiveTeam. The only worry should be reinstating it as an online searchable archive, which will probably happen too.
If you deleted your Reddit account, your content is disassociated and it stays behind, unless you used a tool like PowerDeleteSuite to automate replacing comment text and then deleting.
PDS will stop working in less than 3 hours from now, because Data API restrictions will start on June 19 2023 0000 hrs. I purged all my history outside of the subreddit I created, privatelife, and modcoord.
Most of it has its roots in xenophobia and crushing the "near-peer competitors", yes. You can ask US government about Cold War McCarthyist propaganda which is spread by NATO (US/Europe) media. You can even go back as far as 1940 to find a short film series Drums of Fu Manchu (check YouTube), which is before NATO's creation, or the Opium War I by Britain in 1856 and British Raj on India for 2 centuries.
Orientalism, xenophobia and imperialist looting/plundering against East are historically well known evil deeds of Westerners.
Whenever there is fearmongering about China/Russia/communism, assume it is funny McCarthyist Cold War propaganda. No matter how small or big the claim is, use that thumb rule to avoid brainwashing.
Tencent's investment is peanuts. Here is a full breakdown of Reddit's investors. https://lemmy.ml/comment/750332
Far, far less ridiculous than "Chinese government controlled", as there is real proof of US military astroturfers, as shown above, and Reddit even suppresses this information intentionally. The whole of frontpage is suspiciously filled with pro-US imperialist propaganda and an anti-China/Russia article every week with dozens of awards.

Condé Nast and one American VC hold more shares than Tencent, plus Reddit is astroturfed by US military, as seen during 2015. https://old.reddit.com/r/Blackout2015/comments/4ylml3/reddit_has_removed_their_blog_post_identifying/
The root of “Tencent CCP own Reddit” conspiracy literally lies in r/conspiracy to spread xenophobic sentiments against China. Anyone perpetuating this nonsense will face a ban after this.
5% stake is not relevant if you looked at other shareholders of Reddit. It is a xenophobic conspiracy theory if we looked at the largest shareholders of Reddit (https://web.archive.org/web/20230108005443/https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/who-owns-reddit-a-breakdown-of-the-type-and-nationality-of-shareholders/):

Doomscrollers are worthless traffic numbers and do not buy Reddit premium.
