If you’re gonna self-host you’re gonna need to learn to use a search engine. Find a tool that can be used to check what ports are open for a machine, there a several available.
I would try searching things like “Linux cli port scanner”
Since there is no realistic way to accurately and objectively determine what is or is not propaganda
Can you realistically accurately and objectively determine that the source of the claim was a tankie?
So it makes more sense to make wild claims about the person behind the message than it does to classify a piece of information based off of its linguistic characteristics?
Choose the most efficient phrase from these options:
Notice how the message still gets across with that third one? It still tells you “these are lies or exaggerations that have misled you” without needlessly classing the source with a catch-all term that obfuscates their position as human beings with the right to live?
“Tankie” is a generalist term, the same as “leftist” and whatnot. The goal of terms like these is to put people into camps that are divided and label them as anything other than “human” because it’s a lot easier to say “100 dead tankies” than it is to say “100 dead humans”
My point is that terms like this detract from communication because they obfuscate the meaning behind what is being said. Using these terms, even if it is to fight against propaganda, makes it easier to continue using other terms that are similar in nature. This encourages people to use less people-centric language, which dehumanizes those around them and makes them easier targets. Best to just avoid using them at all IMO
I remember googling “which countries are still communist” back around 2018ish and Russia being at the top of many lists. It’s just another ripple effect from propaganda that hasn’t died out yet.
That being said, fighting propaganda is much easier with gentler words instead of name-calling in my experience
Oh man I made the mistake of saying the word Russia and now I must be evil. You’re right, they’re not technically communist and after double checking yeah they don’t claim it anymore either. Last time I really cared about Russia’s internals was quite a while ago, and despite few changes to their economic system they definitely used to at least claim to be communist. Or that was my understanding at the time.
The point still stands, a handful of countries claim to be communist. A handful of countries are communist. Whether that’s a good or bad thing is up to you to decide
Yeah, this pretty much sums it up. Didn’t really do anything wrong, but it sounds like you rubbed your buddy the wrong way. Smooth things over with him and move along with life
I think there’s like 12 countries that still claim to be communist. Cuba, China and Russia off the top of my head and there’s a handful of island nations that are doing quite well with it
I just don’t understand your logic. In your mind it’s okay to make an assumption about the content of a link based off the name of the link. However, it’s not okay to make an assumption about the content of the other link and find out why the OP started the discussion. Rather, you believe it would be better to attack the OP for not explaining what their links were to your satisfaction.
Is that right?
The upfront reason was so that you would understand the discussion you’re part of lol
It’s not a bad place to get search terms though
That’s kind of part of my point. Make it even more local than the EU. Make it local to your town or even smaller
Can you imagine how much harder it would be to be a corrupt asshole if instead of screwing over millions unnamed people, you had to go and look all 30 of the relevant people in your life in the face and go “I wanna suck the money out of you by becoming the sole proprietor of this tool”?
Have you hit it with anything to check if your ports are still open? There are a handful of tools for the task
What port do you have SSH set to? What ports did you change the services to? Is the SSH port open?
Lemmy is a link aggregator, this guy posted a link to his website and a brief (albeit lacking, I will agree with you there) description of what the links were. I don’t see any issue promoting free content in the forms of links on a link aggregator.
I also think there’s sort of a social agreement that if you’re going to make a comment about a post that exists purely as a link to elsewhere, you should probably click the link so that you know what is being discussed instead of what we’re doing, discussing the link itself lol.
I dunno if you’re trolling me or if your UI just looks different but
Having the link at the top of the post like this, because it’s embedded into the actual post instead of the body like the second link, makes it pretty clear to me that that’s a discussion link and not a podcast link
The in-body link is to the podcast, but the post itself is a link to discuss.james.network which is a transcription of the guide
You don’t even have to listen to a podcast to find out how misguided this comment is. Click the link, it’s all transcribed. It’s not a question, it’s a guide.
If you’re not interested in the content, scroll past instead of being rude to people.
I don’t believe that you can speak about propaganda without context, and I didn’t claim that either. The “efficient phrases” thing is part of a puzzle, not the whole puzzle. What I do believe is that terms like “tankie” fill the same role “Jew” or “Gay” fill for the right. It’s a term used to change the perception of the speaker from “person/human being” to “undesirable with a bad opinion”
