FWIW, there were also a few smaller waves before the big API one, but they were mostly individual communities migrating (/r/piracy, /r/genzedong, ...)

These last few messups are too silly that I can't even guess what they'll do next. Surely they won't force ID registration...

True, although it looks like a pun so I wouldn't assume it's someone registering their local TLD.

  • .ml is Mali, but I'm confident the .ml instances aren't hosted in Mali.
  • One can still register .su (Soviet Union TLD)

I can't find their terms and conditions, but they do mention the GDPR plus their choice of 16+ instead of 18+ for age restriction makes me suspect it's somewhere European.

I suspect it wouldn't matter if you posted it once or posted it a hundred times. Lemmy is a rival service, and plenty of people have been banned for mentioning it before.

I believe the most an admin can do is block you from their own instance (e.g. lemmy.world banning you from lemmy.world communities), they don't own your account on lemm.ee so they can't ban your account from accessing the comms they don't control, and lemm.ee has no reason to ban you.

I'm not experienced with stock markets, but is the concept of 'normal' really relevant, especially after a whole quarter? What factors would give it a tendency to return to the prior state?

Of course, it’s better to refer to them as Fascists – that’s the more accurate term that fully refers to both of those groups

Yes, you're right, although on the other hand Nazism and classical fascism are also pretty different despite some surface level similarities. Even the fascist movements at the time struggled to figure out a unified position on racism/anti-semitism, corporatism and state structure.

If you want a few kicks, read what ᴉuᴉʅossnW thought of Hitler before he was pressured into saying nice things closer to WWII. My favorites are "silly little monkey" and "A mad little clown". He was surely regretting their alliance long before he was hanged.

Don’t punch someone just cause they are wearing a Nazi outfit and think it is legal to do so… You may end up paying their medical bills & restitution.

It's not legal, and I don't know which judges are more lenient about this kind of thing. But if one can do it without being caught or attacked, like the two people who punched Richard Spenser, then it is an effective way to counter the rise of Nazism. Legality only matters if it's enforceable.

True. We should instead just use one bullet for each and be done with them, no point in copying their atrocities.

Search: goebbels death -> Goebbels Wikipedia article:

In the mid-afternoon of 30 April, Hitler shot himself. [...] On the evening of 1 May, Goebbels arranged for an SS dentist, Helmut Kunz, to inject his six children with morphine so that when they were unconscious, an ampule of a cyanide compound could be then crushed in each of their mouths. [...] At around 20:30, Goebbels and [wife] Magda left the bunker and walked up to the garden of the Chancellery, where they killed themselves. There are several different accounts of this event. [I've omitted contradictory claims of how they died and were treated after by SS soldiers] The corpses were then doused with petrol, but they were only partially burned and not buried.

Yes.

Fascist ideologies, like Nazism, are explicitly anti-liberalist. They don't believe in the very concept of liberties. They explicitly write down on paper why they believe democracy and freedom is a failure. So, when you see one pulling the free speech card, they're simply trying to appeal to your beliefs, or society's beliefs, to give themselves a platform. It's inherently insincere, they're mocking you.

Nazis have to act like this. History has shown us, without doubt, how repulsive their plans are both in theory and in practice, so until they have power, they cannot show their true colors. They can't just be honest and play "might is right" yet because communities would just do the right thing and violently extinguish their movement (including, but not limited to, punching them on sight). So they must hide behind society's privileges, the rights and freedoms of liberalism. They can enjoy police protection at protests to save them from the people they work to have killed, they can sue people for collecting intelligence on them and getting them fired, they can just point out liberalist hypocracy if their freedoms are violated, but listen to leaks and how they organize behind closed doors to know that's simply opportunistic cowardice.

Yep, date of birth is 71 so it's very unlikely to be an automatic initials+random number username.
