Ah, it could be, yes. But I quickly checked a few popular instances and looks like OP was banned on many. For example: dbzero (profile), lemmy.world (profile), piefed.social (profile, no such user), lemmy.zip (profile).

So these post wasn’t visible to many, yet still downvoted (I assume mostly by local users). Some may argue that all sources are biased - I agree. However, the articles OP posted wasn’t good. For example, you can check my other comment under a similar post from the OP: https://lemmy.ml/post/44675222/24621308.

MLs

Weren’t posts from RT and TASS downvoted even on ML?

Yeah, but their content does.

Because it’s essentially what you’re saying in subtext.

No, I didn’t imply any of this.

I’m not sure what you mean. I don’t like any of the media we mentioned in this dialogue. Not because of where they get their funding, but because of their content. I explained why I don’t like TASS in this comment section above.

I’ll assume whatever media source that confirms my bias is trustworthy

Why are you making up what I think?

PBS, NPR, CSPAN, VoA, RadioFree, etc

I realized that I wrote “state media” when I meant “state-owned.” The media you listed are state-funded, while TASS is state-owned. But that’s not the point. I’m not a native speaker, so sometimes what I say might not be entirely clear. I’m saying that some sources are worse than others. I don’t like TASS or RT, similar to the mentioned Fox News - you can see my comment above as an example of why.

I think they’re banned for similar reasons to why Fox News articles are banned. I agree with your comment above - the source doesn’t necessarily make something false. It would be silly for any outlet to post only misinformation. But some sources are worse than others. I wouldn’t read any news about Ukraine from either Ukrainian or Russian state-owned sources. They’re one sided to the extreme.

Regarding alt right - that might be a stretch, yeah. They’re conservative (for example, they’re anti-LGBT because it’s banned by the law) and telling how’re liberating Ukrainian people. But I don’t think it’s qualified as alt-right.

I know this. I just don’t think state-controlled media is much different from corporate media under oligarchy. US don’t have state media (edit: state-owned, not just state-funded) as far as I know, but if they were, those media would simply change bias toward the ruling party.

I mentioned Fox News because they feel similar in spirit: conservative and usually not trustworthy.

I’m not a westerner. But TASS and RT are like Fox News in the US. Those are simply bad sources.

I provided one of the examples: https://lemmy.ml/post/44675222/24621308

I don’t think sources like TASS are any different.

Here some non-western source free from the empire

Looks inside

pro-Russia propaganda

Also your posts from TASS and RT downvoted on ML as well.

Yes, but all mods are paid and EA takes 70% cut 😢

It’s like saying, “Invading Iran is okay because their state is bad.” It’s not okay - look at how much suffering it causes. And for what? Simply replacing one oligarchy with another.

Looking forward to the community visibility feature.

There are bots on Lemmy that duplicate posts from sources like Reddit. They usually post into special locked communities on dedicated instances (such as lemmit.online). Most instances have banned these bots to avoid flooding the local feed with high-volume bot reposts. And this makes perfect sense.

But with the ability to unlist a community, we probably won’t need to ban such bots and can instead ask their authors to unlist those automated communities. This way, people who want to occasionally read posts from niche Reddit communities can still access them without hurting proper Lemmy growth.

Awesome idea!

Yes, it supports video out and shows only the top screen

I had Retroid Pocket Flip 2 and the one in Thor is much better. Not sure what the exact word to describe it, but it feels much more smooth.

Russ from Retro Game Corps made a detailed review about this device on YouTube. If you’re interested, highly suggest to watch.

I found it quite comfortable. I finished New Super Mario Bros DS and played quite a lot of GTA 3. But my hands aren’t very big 🙂

I had the GameSir X2 back in the day. I really liked the aesthetic, but passthrough charging didn’t work with the PinePhone, and it also didn’t work at all with my Google Nexus (an old phone). Later, I switched to the Backbone One, and it worked perfectly with all the devices I had. So good drivers are important. But that was quite some time ago - I’m pretty sure many things have improved on the GameSir side. Later I sold both and switched to a dedicated device.

I’d watch a recent video from Russ about phone controllers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYElqO7EdXo He mentions the Taco one, it indeed looks cute 🙂

It’s quite powerful. Recent Anbernic RG557 uses it.

But yeah, I’d prefer a Snapdragon.
