Then why are you white-washing Mao’s atrocities?

I never did 🤷. White-washing is when you try to justify or make something bad look good. I’m simply saying that he did both good and bad things, and some people admire him for the good parts. So, if someone likes Mao, it doesn’t necessarily mean they support the deaths he caused.

Where is the strawman?

I assert that people on Lemmygrad oppose NATO expansion and believe that the US is the greater evil. You claim that they wish harm upon Ukrainians. However, opposing US imperialism does not mean they want the Ukrainian people to suffer.

For example, looking at the upvotes on this comment from Lemmygrad’s world news, it’s clear that they feel sympathy for Ukraine. There are individuals, like this commenter, who suggest bombing Ukraine, but the comment is downvoted.

This is why I wouldn’t say that people on Lemmygrad want your nation to suffer. I don’t necessarily agree with their opinions, but they certainly don’t deserve death.

You do understand that good things can be achieved without mass killings

I never implied that deaths were necessary.

No, they support the killing of Ukrainians

That’s a bold claim. Condemn actual people’s statements. You’re making a strawman to justify your hate.

NATO expansion is determined by national self-determination

That’s the weirdest explanation I’ve ever heard 😅 You’re also using the word “genocide” wrong. Genocide is a purposeful attempt to destroy any human group. In the case of Russia, that’s just imperialism - they simply don’t care about Ukrainians (sadly). Otherwise, any war could be called genocidal.

Does it really puzzle you why he would admin lemmygrad?

I’m just saying that it’s a bit weird to administrate two instances related to socialism (they’re the two oldest instances), but maybe he has his reasons 🤷

So you’re saying that there is something inherent to Chinese culture that would not make it possible to advance literacy, …

That’s not what I said. I explained why he is considered controversial. He did many good stuff and that’s why some Marxists like it. Not because some of his policies were responsible for a vast number of deaths - that would be weird 😅

Dessalines admins a instance that openly supports russia’s (a country that’s not in any way socialist) genocidal invasion of my country. That’s not wishing me harm?

Sure, Russia isn’t socialist by any stretch of the imagination. From what I can see, Lemmygrad users oppose NATO and US expansion, I don’t think they want Ukrainian people to die.

Why does this page state that:

My bad, I didn’t know that! I assume it’s true then. Before the Reddit blackout, ML was a socialist-leaning instance (they edited the description of the instance), while Lemmygrad always were like this. It puzzles me why he might administrate both instances.

Mao was a brutal dictator that directly caused an inordinate amount of deaths and suffering

He made quite a lot of bad stuff, that’s true. However, he also liberated the country from foreign occupation and advanced literacy, women’s rights, basic healthcare, education, and life expectancy. China’s population nearly doubled under his leadership. This is why he is considered controversial. It’s strange to compare him with someone who occupied half of Europe.

he most definitely supports the genocide of Ukrainians in the occupied territories

These scoundrels wish me, my family and my fellow citizens harm

You made conclusions about his opinions yourself and are trying to argue against them. Condemn actual statements. I don’t see dessalines wishing harm on you, but I do see you doing the very thing you criticize him for.

My man, the head developer of lemmy is the admin of lemmygrad

No, he is not. Check admins section on lemmygrad.ml, which profile do you think belongs to dessalines? He is only admin of lemmy.ml.

He has a fucking Mao picture in his profile!

It’s a controversial figure, but it doesn’t mean that the dev supports crimes or genocides.

How should I put this without breaking any rules? …

You judge people who support genocide, I get it and I here with you. But wishing death upon others because of their opinions? That’s just hypocrisy.

Could provide a link to a comment or a quote where the devs whitewash the crimes or support genocides?

I saw that on ML you might get banned for stuff like calling Xi Jinping a Winnie. But not for an opinion. Especially about Russia.

They usually cut costs in unnoticeable for regular consumer way. Like include some chemistry that easy to produce and makes it tasty, but bad for health.

I have a small question about the keyboard :) How does it connect to the tablet? Via pins, it’s not BT?

but capacitive (most new touch screens) don’t seem to detect the Wacom pen

Yes, it’s totally expected! But looks like this screen supports MPP pens.

Thank you!

This is very helpful, thank you a lot!

How is the passive cooling? Does it get hot?

That’s interesting details, thanks!

I saw a few posts on their reddit, like this, they were positive, but no one mentioned the drawing aspect…

Awesome, thank you!

How is your drawing experience?

How is your drawing experience?

Similar to what most smartwatches can: measure heartbeat, show notifications and answer calls from your smartphone, flashlight (by showing white write screen), show weather, etc.

PineTime is nice, wearing it right now.

Didn’t know! Were there any responses from the .ml admins?

I also noticed that this post is not available on lemmy.ml, apparently they banned the post. Looks like they banned the OP from the instance.

It looks like admins from .ml ban people who write bad things about CCP and .world admins ban people who can write bad things about US imperialism. They both think that they fight trolls and usually it’s the case.

For example, the banned OP wrote something like “Why, to ban criticism about China more actively?” in https://feddit.nl/comment/10140068 (6 days ago, while the post was created 9 month ago!) which is definitely not okay behavior.

Hm… Good point.
