just a heads up, the instance you're on is pretty controversial.
So, the no matter what instance thing isn't really true. Moderation is different per instance, mods can remove comments locally. Account migration is planned, but not there yet.
Well it doesn't, but that instance has a... reputation... So some people might have that entire instance blocked. You'd have to create a new account elsewhere to move over
Every instance has a reputation. A lot of .ml posters think that .world posters are libs and crypto fascists(if they distinguish between the two). And some folks accuse feddit.nl users of being... Well... Dutch.
I suppose they're not wrong. But I hope I'm not blocked by some people for it
Likely only Austin Powers father.
Does shitjustworks have a rep? So far so chill, I don't think I've heard any controversy about this one.
people peer pressuring over instances can be disregarded, they're almost always shit-stirring
Feudposting is cringe
It's seriously getting old at this point. I've noticed there's been an uptick in hostility towards lemmy.ml over the past year. I can only assume it's related to the reddit migration. Unfortunately I only forsee it getting worse as more people migrate over.
At a certain point it becomes harassment and should be moderated accordingly. Something that we're going to need to do as we grow in order to be a functional social spaces that harassment needs to be something you get banned for because a lot of the negative experience people have on the corporate crap is because of widespread normalized harassment. If an instance isn't so bad it gets defederated users probably shouldn't be given shit for merely using it
The .world admins allow this to continue, which I see as tacit endorsement for it.
Theres a community about ml drama "meanwhileongrad" thats blocked from ml so youd never see it
Have you considered that people just generally don't like supporting the authoritarianism that plagues China, Russia and NK
It's the authoritarian part of being a Tankie that a lot of us hate
There's a difference between support and pointing out blatant US propaganda. Like I said above, many people across the fediverse don't get the nuance of being critical of US narratives does not equal supporting the regimes that are on the recieving end of that propaganda. If you really spent any amount of time on .ml you'd see there is plenty of criticism of Russia/China, just not to the extent where everyone unquestioningly takes any criticism by US sources at face value.
I got permabanned from politics on shitjustworks for calling out the mod for being a hypocrite, so 14 days ain't so bad in comparison. Gonna go see what rule 1 over there is tho.
You have to make a new one.
I've been on .ml for half a year and it's a good one. Not many defederations, so I can pick what instances i want to see and not have some faceless admin pick for me.
If you really struggle with certain users who are passionate about certain topics, just block them. This is true for any instance. Don't forget to block me to. Thanks.
The reason it doesn't matter is because they all interoperate, unless one of them is a problem and needs to be cut off. Yours isn't the worse but some people do have a negative opinion of it. If anyone decides to de-federate you won't be able to see posts from there but this probably doesn't matter a whole lot unless the instance you are on is a total pariah
Yeah it doesn't matter - don't listen to drama fiends. .ml is fine. Lots of people decry it as being a tankie instance. The whole point of federation is you aren't limited to the content on your instance - just by which instances yours is federated with.
If people or your instance bother you, make another account. Otherwise, just ignore the haters
Check out [email protected] or actually because you're on .ml, they block that comm instance wide
So you'll need to see it through another instance, like so lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
You get banned for dissent against Russia or China or even NK on .ml comms
very good way to put it
Is lemm.ee chill or should I be making a new account?
Oh yeah, lemm.ee is great.
Controversial? How come? I’m new to the Fediverse so I’d love to learn as much as I can. 🙂
Lemmy.ml is very pro Russia/pro communism
Oh that sucks. Thanks for letting me know!
I explained a bit here: https://lemm.ee/post/58018253/18825295
But I'll go into more detail : )
lemmy.ml is the instance run by the lemmy developers, who are tankies. Tankies are people who support authoritarian regeims such as the soviet union, or north korea.
As such, they sometimes remove anti-china or pro-ukraine posts/comments.
They also sometimes bridgade threads.
As an example, check [email protected]
I gotcha. Thanks so much for the explanation!
Why?
It has some censorship problems, the devs (who run the instance) are tankies, and pro-russia/china
