What would you guys even talk about?
bicker* :D
Beans and jeans, have you not been paying attention?
Idk memes n stuff
Why is this on shitpost? Dude’s got a mega thread with references and receipts.
.world needs .ml else it would just become Reddit 2.0, just as boring and asinine, but without the traffic. .world is the kiddie pool… but not everyone knows how to swim, so it fills an important role!
But your logic supports .world defederating .ml so that when a user is ready to “leave the kiddie pool” they do so by moving to a wider instance, like .zip
Everyone needs a taste of anti-imperialist and non-Western takes, either for their sanity or just for their ideological development. I know Americans are gonna need them since the empire is coming home with full force, for instance. Without them, without ‘radicals’ like those in .ml, the folks will just be fed a new narrative to curtail their cognitive dissonance (it’s the most imperceptible of buzzes for the least cerebral among us but it’s still there) and they’ll eat it up because that’s all they’re exposed to. So, no, they should be connected, for the sake of exposure. It’s important too for those more .ml-coded to read, post and quickly check the downvote/upvote ratio in .world just like it was/is on big subreddits to get a feel of what the average literate Westerner, who at least considers discussion important (better than your average American, for instance), is thinking/has been fed recently.
By that ‘logic’ everyone needs a taste of white supremacy, Christian nationalism, Nazis, and so on.
Certain opinions aren’t worth giving any consideration to because they’re so stupidly, pig-headedly wrong. The street corner preacher frothing at the mouth over LGBTQ people is one, .ml and the former hexbear (world’s smallest violin plays a sad song for their passing) instances being prime examples.
Did you just compare anti-imperialist ‘content’ to pro-Nazi stuff? Anyway, no, it’s unethical to be pro-Western imperialism, right is evidently different from wrong, and I agree that not every uttering deserves ears but trust me that every person that’s been simmering in pro-war, anti-non white lives (whether it be anti-communist or islamophobic stuff, it just serves to alienate your fellow human being) propaganda since before they came out of the womb only know the wrong side of things and need to at least see some memes and be triggered into self-examination!
Lemmy.ml is not anti-imperialist. They remove anything critical of China and Russia, both imperialist states.
Instances that are actually anti-imperalism in that they criticise both Western and Russian/Chinese etc imperialism might be lemmy.dbzer0.com or slrpnk.net.
lemmy.ml is arguably one of the most imperialist instances especially in terms of censorship.
I am banned there so you might be right about the censorship. 🤷
Lol, Tankies just simp for authoritarian regimes like Russia and NK that claim to be communistic.
If you want to pull people to your political side, then you can do so without relying on misinformation and conspiracy theories. Which is unfortunately not what the admins of .ml have chosen to do.
I think they are saying it’s important that ML people see more nuanced takes. Though without a coherent paragraph structure it’s difficult to tell.
The entire fucking issue is that the tankies ban nuanced takes at the drop of a hat.
They’re not here to see “more nuanced takes” nor they care about them. They are here to brigade posts, spread propaganda and make any discussion a pain. You can’t even imagine how often tankies tried to tell me the history of my country is fake and they know the ultimate truth about it all, way better than the people who actually lived that history.
I’m not agreeing with them. I’m just trying to do a translation
Silly comes in different shapes, but the imperial narrative will almost always be untrue and always serve immoral interests!
Average ‘ML users aren’t that bad’ post defending blatant propagandists.
No we’re not talking ‘socialism is actually good and here’s why’ posts, we’re talking posts like ‘China, the ethnostate, is a bastion of tolerance compared to a place like the U.S.’.
Fuck no to everything you’ve said supporting federation with .ml . The people on the platform deserve their fate if they can’t see through the bullshit, I feel no differently about MAGA.
Time to change your diaper, OP.
sky traffic? wow so cool
those tankies would be very upset if they could read.
Lmao tankies are notorious for their reading lists lol. Here e.g. is an introductory one https://lemmy.ml/post/22417306
That’s just asking for a treasure trove of links to theory
After lemm.ee went down I joined ml because it was the largest instance 😔
I didn’t know the backstory
.world is Shitlibia so you did fine.
I definitely didn’t know how heated people were towards .ml when I joined. istg I’m not a tankie.
Oh yeah? Prove it, cowboy! 🧐
Quick, say something bad about Russia! 😀
fuck Putin, slava Ukraini!
Lol it’s ok, they do things purposefully like that to an extent to get that result. Like if you go to Lemmygrad or Hex’s homepage its quite clear you’re somewhere weird that needs further investigation.
You go-to lemmy.mls homepage and it looks like a normal “privacy focused” instance. Until you innocently comment in support of Ukraine or something and find yourself being dunked on and banned for supporting a “Nazi regime”
Just like how NATO is a defensive alliance
If you could be so kind as to list the number of times NATO has gone on an offensive war, I’ll be waiting.
Russia has a history of invading its neighbors, with several notable examples including the Soviet invasions of Hungary in 1956, Czechoslovakia in 1968, and Afghanistan in 1979. More recently, Russia invaded and occupied Crimea in 2014 and has been involved in conflicts in Georgia and Ukraine.
Yugoslavia, Afganistan, Bosnia, Serbia & even Africa; I can go on. They violate international law like Israelis. BTW Russia (via Putin) WANTED to be in NATO.
Richard Medhurst covers this in details buddy. Not only that; usage of Depleted uranium shells & cluster ammunitions, Hooo boy.
Don’t try that whataboutism here. It’s a mafia protection racket with USA being the head-honcho. Everyone knows this, were you living under a rock ?
I just want to laugh at the first source being a WordPress page that’s pro al-assad which really just screams super trustworthy to me personally
Your personal beliefs doesn’t make the truth any less truthful, also there’s reports by Amnesty international as well.
You literally nitpicked one thing to discredit something else.
You want more ? Here these are in Hindi though
Honestly .ml and .world deserve each other. Sh.it.just.works too, most common in my blocked user list.
What did we do?
We exist.
Nah, probably because some people find the url funny and annoy people with that account.
Be bigger than them. Probably sees your instance as some sort of threat. They always shit on the big instances, I’ve seen Hex users refer to SJW as “Shit Just Stinks” before and they were celebrating the .ee shutdown. They consider .world some sort of right-wing instance run as a CIA/fed psyop
But they’re a dbzero user, not an ML
Edit: I guess those aren’t mutually exclusive
Grad, Hex and .ml users have been known to have many alts to help spread their “message”
Do these people not ever talk to anyone in real life? How do you arrive at thinking all real humans are Marxists/Leninists?
You mean Marxist-Leninists. Marxists/Leninists would be people who are either Marxists or Leninists, and as a Marxist-Leninist, I’m opposed to both. Marx was an idiot, he said “workers of the world unite” like he’d never heard of Communism In One Country. And Lenin was a counterrevolutionary who wanted the vanguard to work with the support of the workers. Marxism-Leninism, a political philosophy invented by our great leader Joseph Stalin, is far better than either Marxism or Leninism.
came here to make the exact same 1st statement. .world is quite a bully friendly instance.
Just look at my modlogs from them. Feds through and through.
I know nothing irt sh.itjust.works
You sound like a communist. I hate communists, because they think we can just get rid of the state after we seize the means of production.
Hah! Do you really believe this would make things better? (X) Doubt
A lot of the people giving ML a bad reputation came over from Hexbear after they were defederated by almost everyone, I suspect the angry commies would just create a new account on another instance.
And? Better to let them have to engage as a normie instead of having an entire instance astroturfing their BS.
I’d rather they stay on ML, that way I can block the instance and never hear from them.
Don’t you still see their posts on other threads?
I do see their comments, but not their posts.
Thank you for being the voice of reason. You may not want to hear from socialists because you’re a fake CIA liberal, but other people deserve to hear our message and to be banned by our great admins
No. I don’t think a group of bad actors should kill an instance. We all have so many tools to ignore people or entire instances.
.ml is the “bad actor” in this case for one, and for two, one of those tools is defederation. Nobody is talking about forcing .ml wholly offline.
Grad and hex are perfectly alive even with most of the network defederating from them.
What if the bad actors are admins?
Then .world wouldn’t exist
I think even then it’s easy for us to block them. This is why I really liked lemm.ee
I had the power to see everything. If an entire group was heinous, it was my choice to never see it again, not someone else.
I
You can block it for yourself if that works for you. You don’t have to limit other people’s options.
I can block .ml communities in my GUI. But I can’t block its users, unless I go 1 by 1. Blocking the communities is big, but not enough.
I think you can block the entire instance, not community by community or user by user.
By user blocking an instance you just “hide” the posts of that instance, not their users, so you’ll still see their interactions on posts of other instances even yours
It doesn’t work, on Lemmy block is nothing more than a mute, and the instance “block” (mute) does not even affect the individual users of an instance, just hides the comms of that instance from your view
Lemmy’s “block” still leaves you open to all manner of brigading that they’ve been known to do
And it still allows conspiracy theories, propaganda and misinformation to spread and fester and affect users who are unaware
They literally have articles over there spreading the Russian propaganda that Putin is justified in invading Ukraine because it’s “full of Nazis”
Besides this is the Threadiverse, there will always be an instance with wide federation if you as an individual choose to open yourself up to that kind of “content”
You should make a fork with a block that works!
If I was proficient enough in Rust, I would have, or someone else would have long ago if it wasn’t written in Rust
Rust isn’t exactly a very popular language in open source right now due to its difficulty
Brigading is a feature of Lemmy.
Nah .world would suck all by itself they have their own brand of censorship
What censorship? I have documented evidence of .ml’s rampant censorship
If .world is doing their own flavor then where’s the receipts?
Also, .world doesn’t need .ml, nobody needs .ml, they only have like 2 comms that don’t have a non.ml variant that beats them in MAUs
OMG nobody fucking cares.
It seems atleast 260 people do care
I got banned for anti-white racism from political memes lmao the crime was linking readsettlers.org
This was one mod on one comm, if it’s a good or bad mod decision I won’t comment on. But poor mod decisions can happen any time anywhere.
The problem with .ml is the fact that it’s the admins micromanaging across the entire instance in order to push a political narrative. Nearly all mod actions in the .ml modlog is from 2 admins and shows a clear bias to push their ideology, leveraging their notoriety to do it and allowing known misinformation outlets’ “articles” to fester while surprising criticism from credible outlets.
My messages to ruud i think who is also a mod in that community as well as an admin about the earlier ban were ignored so I assume at least one admin is on board with the theory of anti-white racism.
Take it to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com then and lay out your case publicly
Almost a year old and doesn’t cover the most recent action within just the last 7 hours, like I said, take it to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com and reference your original thread as well as the new actions
