Interesting. Seems like the DOD has been aware, but just can't do much about it. They can control how emails get sent from military/government accounts, but they can't influence or filter what others send to them. I imagine it would be diplomatically problematic for the US government to take control of certain sites under the .ml domain without negotiating with Mali.
Putin is in a tight spot. He has everything to lose geopolitically in Africa and militarily in Ukraine by removing Prigozhin/Wagner from the equation. But I believe the current situation is untenable and will burst at the seams soon, one way or another. I wonder whether the loss of Wagner's influence would be a stabilizing or destabilizing event in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Like many other subreddits, r/Finland is allowing its users to vote for whether or not they should a) reopen as normal, b) remain closed, or c) remain in protest mode....
I'd be surprised if there was ever a time the admins cared about the opinions/rights of mods or users. It's always been about freedom until freedom threatened their 'bottom line'.
Hey, I hope it's ok to post something like this here. I just wanted to say thanks for the people here^^ A long time ago I joined Reddit and tried to post, comment and communicate about stuff I liked. Only now I noticed how much I became a lurker over the time because of the negativity at Reddit. Snappy comments, no real feedback...
Glad to have you with us! This place feels more like a real community. I've commented more on kbin this past week than on reddit the past two years combined.
Reddit admins aren't even pretending to try to explain their decisions. The gloves have come off and they don't care about justifying their actions to the mod communities they're wiping. It's a matter of time until every subreddit has either fallen in line or been 'reset' unfortunately.
“Millions” of sensitive US military emails were reportedly sent to Mali due to a typo (www.theverge.com)
Emails have been mistakenly routed to Mali for over a decade.

Is anyone else mildly annoyed that people posting on the fediverse act like only people in their own instance can see their posts? (kbin.social)
I keep seeing posts title “Lemmy, what are your thoughts on…” or “Beehaw, do you think is…” etc, as if nobody from any other instance is reading.

Fear of communication gone after switching to lemmy

r/Anime_titties is now about actual Anime titties. No more worldpolitics. I would like to see reddit explain removing them as mods. It's even in the title of the sub (media.kbin.social)
