Gotta love when foreigners try to correct you on your language

A lot of places that are "full of tankies" actually have more people not like that one them. However, the moderation is another story. So while you may not get that feeling from the general user base, that is because it is often the mods people are talking about. Unless it's like hexbear, which were brigading and shit.
Just more evidence to push towards "they are targets places as fringe as lemmy now" conclusion in our previous conversation.
I read a report on how a lot of tiny fora, and other sites with comment functions, were getting barraged with russian bot traffic. They use web scrapers to pick up on sites that have comment functions, of any kind, and that tells the bot network to start automated posting there. Often it is so strong they effectively DDOS a lot of these personally run places. However, this account doesn't feel like that. This leads me to believe one of the possibilities I previously suggested. It is a mod, it is someone with mental illness that, for whatever reason, was having a moment of clarity that one time, or even lemmy is being targeted. If it is targeted, that makes me think that russian prop-pushing organizations have so thoroughly saturated the internet, they now have to seek fringe spaces online, in order to keep quotas, or something like that, up.
Yeah that is strange, in a suspicious way. Is it the prop-pushing account of a mod? Is there some sort of actual move to infiltrate things as small as lemmy? Did they take their meds that day?
It isn't though. The mod tools for lemmy are super primitive compared to the moderation tool suites that exist for reddit. These subs live because they have these in-depth mod tools. Tight, on point, moderation is key to keeping these places one topic, and of quality. Also, we don't have the user base. While I guarantee there are a decent amount of subject experts on lemmy, I have seen them myself, you need enough to be posting/dealing with posts multiple times a day, in any given subject. So, not only do you have to have a body of expertise large enough to cover the topics, and rate of posts, you have to keep in mind these people also have to want to do this. Most people like that don't want to add that amount of extra work, and stress, to their lives.
Seems for the tests they mixed a number of known cancerous images, from biopsied tissue, and mixed a bunch of imaged tissues, known to be cancer free. They then randomized the images and processed them with this AI, and it was able to find cancerous vs non-cancerous tissue, at a rate significantly higher than doctors.
They are also seeing a lot of success in using similarly purposed AI for finding pathology presented in a wide variety of images, including MRI, CT, X-ray, etc.
Unfortunately I stopped going to reddit for sports info before I left. I just kept running into increasingly toxic people, over what is such a low stakes subject. It wasn't just reddit, I also gave up on televised sports because watching sports feels like I am watching ads that are occasionally broken up by bumps of sports. Even friends who are WAY more into sports have pretty much given up on watching them. Also, the way that sports is handled across streaming platforms I find enraging.
I think it is less that, and more that establishing a large enough body of experts requires a very large audience to pull from, and on top of that it took years, and lots of work, to get them established, and working correctly, so it will be very difficult to move.
You should be able to express your anti-imperialist sentiment as well. If someone asks about an alternative, and you suggest something other than world, and tell them it is better because they aren't loaded with closeted nazis, you should be able to. It is a very low level comment in regards to how rude/disruptive it is. I could understand if they were going all over the place just doing that. That is not what is happening.
If you are that sensitive you should lock your place, and add people via invite, as you see them posting things you like. You should then have your rules expressed about this stuff. If you have an open door system, you should be able to tolerate critical comments that are middling rude.
By your system of etiquette, you should be not arguing this, as you are on a space specifically to discuss over authoritarian mods in places like .ml, etc. in a snarky, sarcastic, satirizing, etc. way. This is not the place to defend the behavior. However you are good to criticize the opinions/posts here, as long as you don't do something stupid like make threat. That is how it should be.
Quit putting words into other people's mouths. The post is right there, they did not say that. They said you could go to another instance that doesn't have the baggage of tankie authoritarianism. If you can't accept middling criticism, make your shit private, get off publicly accessed media.
And for that they banned OP, just proving his statement correct.
Let's ask Gen. Brown Jr. how many times he has leaked war plans through messengers. I am sure he could go on for hours.
