No not really. Republic of korea looks similar, and they did come off the back of a brutual occupation. Japan is much smoother and starts higher. They lack the ludicrous increases caused by domestic policy.

Also all three of those places got huge amounts of USA money from when the usa had half the money in the world. China did not get industrialised by foreign aid, the government did it.

The usa rebuilding japan, korea, amd taiwan was largely in response to China and the USSR btw. So indirectly the revolutions helped them too lol.

I suppose he also caused all of these https://en.wikipedia.org/...

And of course he personally caused flooding and storms that damaged crops, and was the only person in china who thought that the three pests were pests. Also he is of course personally responsible for the material conditions which lead to the warlords era and the revolution, people were having a great time prior and the alternative to the cultural revolution and great leap forward would of course have been a rapid and successful industrialisation of agriculture with no hiccups.

Famine in China was a reality until the revolution, yes mistakes were made. They were made by an entire government. Yes Mao had some bad ideas, but they were desperately trying to recover from a century of exploitation, war, corruption, neglect, and civil war.

All with little aid, and almost no industrial equipment.

But but people who flee the DPRK often describe missing certain elements of community and belonging, finding the capitalist hellscape of south Korea isolating and inhuman for all it's apparent luxuries.

This means Juche is a true realisation of socialism and everyone critical or sceptical of the DPRK government is a fed.

Oh, I had no idea that it didn't just hide the post like on reddit but actually scrubbed the link. That's an interesting behaviour, pros and cons but definitely much safer than the alternative

Cool, thanks for answering. I can see my own deleted posts which mislead me as to what was occuring.

To maybe be more constructive something you might want to consider is fostering people sharing stuff communally. Lemmy will never beat reddit at being reddit and a lot of reddit is awful anyway.

Something vegantheoryclub used to do was a chat thread each week with a topic to discuss and to just share what's going on or talk in an unstructured way. You could consider something weekly to support community formation, something that makes someone go "oh! this is why you start using lemmy. This is what you can't get on reddit!"

Just timeouts, slrpnk isn't alone many lemmy instances have issues with loads. While writing the following list I had to wait about 5 seconds for a page load and often refresh or wait a long time for images to load. Users won't do this.

Let's go through the list:

  1. Low effort image screenshot from user track_shovel, 3 comments
  2. news from major news outlet nytimes, user silence7, 3 comments
  3. Link to a pdf download about "ai" (presumably llms) sucking, user foxymochakitten, 2 comment
  4. news from major news outlet, user Haraldvonblauzahn, 64 comments
  5. news from niche news site, user schizoidman, 0 comments
  6. news from major news outlet, user silence7, 11 comments
  7. news from major news outlet, user schizoidman, 0 comments
  8. Low effort image screenshot from user track_shovel, 2 comments
  9. A video link about finding cheap hardware for hosting, user prodigal frog, 14 comments
  10. news specific to a small area of the world, user silence7, 4 comments
  11. A contextless photograph of a plant and a lament about the lack thereof, user durian, 2 comments
  12. post about some very specific product, user xcel, 1 comment
  13. A not topical film on youtube, user cm0002, 0 comments
  14. A photo of food not bombs, user prodigalfrog, 0 comments
  15. news from major news outlet, user silence7, 0 comments
  16. link to a youtube video about a new kind of powerplant, user povoq, 7 comments
  17. A photo of a river, user jacobcoffinwrites, 2 comments
  18. A video link about no lawns, user greatwhitebuffalo41, 4 comments
  19. A post about foraging nettles, user korhaka, 3 comments

Many of these posts are hours or days old, niche, and all the news has probably already been seen by a potential new user.

This doesn't look like a place someone could jump in or post their own stuff, it looks like a place that people post news and nobody reacts to it.

I don't know how to do better but a lot of lemmy looks like this. Just reposts from other more popular social media sites and US news (often sad).

I like slrpnk, after the reddit flood it was one of the most chill places on lemmy with a lot of exposure to niche news/hobbies/resources. The problems aren't unique to slrpnk, but you've gotta understand why when seeing something like that and already worried about technical burden a user is just going to bounce off because it looks like a worse reddit.

Bad phrasing, me ahh culp ah :p

-loads of downtime and unreliable access caused pop to drop (only unique problem)

  • slrpnk suffers from the same problem as the rest of lemmy with posts being drowned out by like 5 people posting 20 things a day to low effort communities.

  • The harrassing coms on lemmy (I don't think there are any on slrpnk to your credit) like shitXssay and stuff drove off users that didn't want to get recruited into useless conflict.

I'm not the person you have to convince lol. Also around half of every day I try I can't hit slrpnk.

Reacting to criticism of lemmy by getting defensive is part of why lemmy continues to suck.

Just look at the instance's front page atm. When a user logs in they see a lot of reposted news and posts by like 5 different people.

One discussion about foraging, nothing creative or original. These are hard problems to address but they're why people bounce.

Me approaching Foss developer with bug: Pardon me, if you could grace this lowly worm with but a moment of your attention; I with me a bug report, and I believe I have found the section of code responsible. This inadequate being lacks the technical expertise to fix it and would be eternally indebted if you would turn your monumental skills upon its trifling problems. It would please me immensely if my paltry efforts were of some assistance.

To his credit he undertook sensitivity training and is a much, much, better communicator now.

He used to channel the whole juvenile angry-but-gifted programmer crap, accepted (eventually) the criticisms and did the right thing: changed.

Happiest I've ever been at work has been fixing and cleaning things that needed it.

The thing that always stopped it was the inhumane work conditions and lack of respect. If you're happy to treat me as an equal, and make me a cup of tea when I take a break to stretch my back and knees I'll do the dirty shitty work for you.

If you want me to work to the point of damaging my body and then raise your voice at me if you see me taking a damn breather then we're gonna have a problem.
