Smells like Russian sabotage.
It’s like they really want to discourage tourism.
I use Floorp (a Japanese Firefox fork) on PC, and Ironfox on Android.
Red, white, and blue are the colours of the Dutch flag.
He was still the leader of the largest pedophile ring on the planet, among other evils.
Photon. It hides the cruft, for a more zen experience.
And that money then goes to Russia, a fact which they hide.
No, thanks! I’ll stick with Libre.
Indeed it’s not great, tho recently it’s been upgraded to 3 major OS upgrades and 4 years of security updates. For a flagship phone that is still not much, but for me the minimum I’d be happy to invest in.
Of course they also have cheaper phones, which may cover your needs.
For the foreseeable future, Sony is holding on to both the microSD card slot and the 3.5mm headphone jack.
When instances become instruments of propaganda for Putin/Xi/Kim and ban people who expose such propaganda, they fully deserve to be blocked. They’ve become instruments of the enemies of civil society.
It’s the moderation practices of those instances that put them in the corner of “sectarian shit”. The rest of us don’t need to tolerate such toxicity.
It would be inappropriate to include US companies after the US has shown itself so unreliable. Also, the US should stop meddling in European policy. Get rid of your fascist regime, and we can talk again. Until then, we’d rather talk to Canada.
Oh, the Tankie Triad is free to moderate as they wish too. And other instances are free to block them. And I am free to warn unsuspecting newcomers.

But the problem is that it’s not an isolated case. You do need to take into account that this is regular practice, as shown in the multitude of cases.
Anyway, either you look into it, and find, like I did, that they are unreasonable and toxic, or you don’t.
And it totally is. Stupid, and traitorous.
Unreasonable moderation (e.g. bans for warning against romanticising the Soviet Union and Stalin) happens on lemmy.ml too. Please have a look at the link I posted in my previous comment.
I’m fine with differing opinions, if done in good faith. I’m not fine with people being nasty (personal attacks, name-calling) and mods being extremely biased (e.g. banning people for criticising Russia, China, North-Korea). I don’t need such toxicity in my life.
Aren’t you already seen as the 51st state?
Edit: I don’t mean to defend that at all. I’m just saying that Canada is already in Trump’s crosshairs. This doesn’t fundamentally change the situation.
While your particular issues is solved, you should be aware that lemmy.ml is one instance of the Tankie Triad, which many other instances have blocked. Unless you like living in tankieland, I would suggest you make an account somewhere else.
