I’m shocked…but I’m also not shocked. This has gotten to the point that you think they can’t one up themselves and then they go and do it.
I’m sure that everyone, including trump will feel the full force of the law. The FBI will immediately investigate make arrest and punish everyone involved in this blatant act of anti-patriotism and treason.
Right?
That’s treason.
Oh they know. We know.
Stories like this are exactly why cybersecurity isn’t just about encryption or tools—it’s about understanding behavior, risks, and exposure across systems. Platforms like cyberupgrade.net help orgs get better at that by automating risk awareness and internal training, especially for non-technical teams.
Hang them all
The French Revolution can’t come back soon enough
Might want to read up on what happened after all that… Because… yeah.
Full texts got released! See update on the Atlantic!
Who thinks Putin doesn’t intercept these chats?
Who thinks he needs to intercept them?
He was probably told before any of these guys.
The Guy’s name is putin.
Krasnov’s Daddy
I’m looking forward to anyone using the word ‘signal’ around trump being suspected of mocking him.
Sensitive egotistical maniacs are so much fun to placate.
These fucking fools, these incompetent baboons. Gods damn the whole lot of 'em.
Goons. Absolute apes
An insult to apes.
You are assuming it wasn’t puposeful. And clearly it’s been going on a while. They only got caught due to their incompetence
Sounds like a bunch of traitors.
Are you just figuring that out now? Attacking all its allies is what did it for me.
The US is a captured state now, and there are only a few ways out; voting is not one of them.
Welcome to the party pal, most of us knew it was traitor town when “Russia if your listening” was said on national TV.
Trump is a Russian asset and the Kremlin dictates U.S. policy.
You have been banned from Lemmy.ml
Lol I wear my ban with pride. All you have to do is go over there and use the word ‘tankie’. They really don’t like that word for some reason.
next step is get banned from progressive politics
a ml proxy hidden in plain sight
Then this is for you!
I need to acquire mine at some point
I’ll treasure it!
Got banned there by a dude with anarcho in his name. Cherry on top
Turns our he’s just really into spiders and is also dyslexic.
And yet the worst of them link to tankie.tube videos. Fuggin… I dunno.
As a long time poster at all types of Lemmy instances, I still don’t get why people don’t like lemmy.ml
Can someone ELI5?
Hex and grad are tankie instances that are very in your face about it and don’t carry the honor of being “the flagship” instance and as a result were easy to widely defederate from which led to most people here not having strong opinions on it
.ml admins are hardcore tankies, but try to maintain .ml as the flagship and thus are more subtle about their tankieness. Instead opting to just censor any dissenting opinions before things get crazy in threads.
As a result many instances are way more hesitant to actually defed from them like they did the rest of the Tankie Triad, thus leading to more widespread visibility and in turn more widespread dissatisfaction of them by most.
Checkout [email protected] (for those on a .ml account you’ll need to use this link because, ironically, .ml admins censor that comm from you: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] ) for documented instances of their behavior
One example of this is when I called out some Hexbear users for their bullshit propaganda and then when they started brigading against me and making literal death threats, the .ml mod swooped in, deleted my comments, and gave me a temporary ban. The hexbear users comments remained visible including the death threats.
Rule 1, 2
Bingo
How do they get off being the ‘Flagship’ instance then? Should that concern us or is it meh?
I don’t think it can, it’s a flagship because it’s the first instance, being run by the main devs as a demonstration of Lemmy’s capabilities so it’s always on the latest beta version at least.
But, they could just stop using it as a tool to further their own political stances and have it actually be a “generalist” instance. For that though, they’d have to give up being the admins of it, which they’ll probably never do.
It is of concern yes, but maybe if the wider Lemmy-verse defeded from them, like they did Hex and Grad, it would at least be easier to say that their views are not shared by any of us to any newcomers/outsiders by being able to point to a clear and visible action like defederation.
Damn - as I love Lemmy and believe in the mission it’s hard to square that with tankie devs
it would at least be easier to say that their views are not shared by any of us to any newcomers/outsiders
Do we need users who cannot mentally separate that?
I find you in every thread shitting on ml at the vaguest mention of Russia or China though. Before anyone ever brought up anything related to them. It’s almost like you have an agenda. Or vendetta.
Please show me on this doll where the dirty commies hurt you:

Russia is communist? You might want to update your maps.
Do you have brainrot or something? What kind of leaps did you go through to come to this conclusion that I have implied this in any way?
I was referring to ml users as “dirty commies”, not Russia.
Hmm yes, how dare I pushback against authoritarian misinformation, propaganda, censorship and toxicity. I do what I can within my power to prevent (or rather having it get worse I should say)the Lemmy-verse from garnering a rep outside for being “That Tankie Place” or worse, Voat 2.0
I’ve already seen it on Reddit and testimonials here (from those that actually tried to give it another shot, who knows how many won’t ever come back) “I tried that Lemmy place, but it was just a bunch of tankies” is not a pleasant comment to read outside the Lemmy-verse
What I’ve documented on [email protected] is but a mere fraction of the crap they pull and focused on just .ml
Btw, tankies are authoritarian “communists”
Right. And I’m on board with that and that’s not what I am saying. If I mention “Russia bad” in a thread, without any ml presence in the whole post, I don’t expect someone to derail my thread with their anti-ml agenda. Why not keep it there where it’s relevant: an actual ml poster excusing Russia’s behaviour?
Or, as you do, in your welcome messages to new users.
It’s full of “communists” that blindly excuse every damn thing that states like China and Russia do just because they dress themselves in red, or used to, and oppose everything western in an attempt to be “anti-imperialist”, ignoring what Russia is doing to Ukraine at this very moment. Hypocrites and dogmatic ideologues who can’t see nuance in anything.

They are a minority that have opposing views. Just as any ideology, they have flaws and they just accept those flaws with open arms.
You could go there and say: china owns 80% of cobalt companies in Congo. You’d get banned.
Can say that china has far higher inequality than the EU. You’d get banned.
You could say that the Chinese government subsidising smartphone and electric vehicle market in china is trickle down economics. You’d get banned. (I get cheap high quality stuff because Chinese citizens their taxes pay for the profit margins of the Chinese shareholders.)
You’d get banned.
I honestly just wonder if they are economically illiterate morons, to be honest ☺️
They try to play themselves off as communists but I can’t say I’ve ever seen a single one of them make a legitimate comment about communist ideals. What they really are is a propaganda mouthpiece for the Chinese and Russian governments.
Historically, groups that have “communist” in their name have been Soviet mouthpieces. Not all of them, and the ideology doesn’t require it by any means, but it happened a lot. Conversely, if they had “socialist” in their name, they were more likely to want nothing to do with that shit.
No I’m pretty sure they would support Daddy putin controlling amerikkka
Sounds like a win for platypus.
This was all known before, americans still voted for him. This is what they want…
Krasnov, destroying America from within since 1987, the best accidental investment Putin ever made. Great success, comrades! 👍
As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow.
Love the way THE BBC is trying to make signal sound like some hackers playset, really shows how much the UK gov hate encryption or people having any privacy at all.
The UK is an utter shithole when it comes to privacy, always has been. It doesn’t look to be getting better any time soon either.
It also goes to show that Signal may actually be worth its salt in regards to security.
You use Signal to avoid government surveillance.
I use Signal to avoid government accountability.
We are not the same.
Doesn’t matter if the phone is rooted.
Rooted phones with signal are more secure or less secure?
Less. If someone has root privs on your phone they can screenshot without your notice and send those shots wherever they want, encryption or self-deleting messaging apps be damned.
So if Google has root privileges (does it automatically on Android? ) then they can screenshot whatever they like?
I mean, they provide the operating system and push updates to your phone via a trusted channel, so yeah you’re kinda extending them 100% trust already. I’m more thinking about malware authors here though; criminals or governments (or criminal governments) slipping shady shit onto your phone without your noticing.
Important reminder. Why is this downvoted?
Because it’s largely irrelevant? If someone says “This is the best lock you can use on your front door” and someone else replies “not if you leave the key in the lock” do you think that’s a important thing to mention? No lock is safe if you leave the key in the lock. Maybe it’s important to remind people that you shouldn’t leave your key in the lock, but that statement says nothing about the security of the lock.
Similarly maybe it’s important to remind people that their phones might already be rooted, but that statement says nothing about whether Signal is good or bad from a security point of view.
Well I use it and have put it on relatives phones so they can communicate with me easily, ideally though I’d use Threema but yeah signals a lot better than other free alternatives.
Are they?
No.
Graham Fraser: Technology reporter.
Signal, compared with other messaging apps, has added security features to protect the privacy of its users. Conversations on the app are end-to-end encrypted, which means they can only be read by the recipients. Signal can’t even read what has been sent. But security is only as good as the person using it.
Damage control look up their original articles on trump.
Isn’t hard to look up the BBC site, their pretty much making signal sound like an insecure hacking tool only used by dissidents.
Why would dissidents want to use something insecure? 🤔
Literally zero chance they weren’t monitoring his phone while he was in the country.
Why monitor what he went there to inform them about?
Who’s to say this member in Russia doesn’t live there…
*receive orders about
You jump to the assumption they weren’t on an innocent beach holiday in Russia? You’re paranoid.
I wouldn’t worry so much about monitoring the phone, signal does a good job.
I’d be more worried that they weren’t just given the convo or managed to lift the multi-device QR willingly or subserviently.
Looks like Russia won the ideological war and will be exporting authoritarianism to the globe.
will be?
They already have — quite successfully.
They been exporting since the 80’with trump
The main thing to remember about authoritarians is that none have ever been documented to be impervious to small pieces of metal moving at high speed.
It’s too soon to say conclusively that they all aren’t though, additional testing is required.
Note to self: before becoming dictator, develop natural immunity to small arms fire. Begin with BB gun?
You’ll shoot your eye out.
Only once, before the immunity kicks in
Twice*
It might happen twice, but that’s the max, I’m pretty sure.
Well at least the reality denial is checked.
I know my system works, otherwise I wouldn’t be immune to your criticism
surprisingly enough, they are in fact physically just like us: just meat
Surprisingly enough, it doesn’t really stop them from trying, it only stops individual occurrences. And if the piece of metal only grazes, it often invigorates and galvanizes them
An additional note: for all the people who advocate this approach, very few have actually gone through with it. Perhaps it’d be more successful if all the people who advocate for it actually did it instead of trying to get other people to do it for them.
But they are known to dodge pretty well and only get nicked in the ear 😕
Are windows in too?
This isn’t a nationalist idea … the oligarchs have won and are exporting authoritarianism to the globe. Most or the majority of people everywhere just want to have a peaceful life whether they are in the US, Russian, China or anywhere on the globe … it’s oligarchs and wealthy morons that think they can manipulate everyone, everywhere all the time and allow them to become rulers of the universe.
i’ll have you know that social contract that formed in russia after 90s looks just like that: citizens fuck off from politics in return for some prosperity. every time when russian state expected that that won’t last due to things like 2008 crisis or covid or what have you, they started a war as a distraction and to rally around the flag some nationalists. now they’re on 4th attempt, this one was due to post-covid recession. difference is, this time they were high on their own supply of propaganda and planned accordingly. they also can’t back down because they see it as a weakness, and that would mean a coup
Are they wrong?
That is being tested right now.
It’s not looking good, bruh.
fuck
Nahhhh according to the tankies of .ml, Russia is just trying to export humanity-saving peace, love and socialism but has just been continuously beaten down by the big bad US :(
