This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly
Edit: I’m convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.
Did he do anything else or was he banned just for expressing his opinion?
That’s pretty much it to my knowledge but the purged the user so nothing is in the mod logs, of course
Yeah, I’ve stopped any participation in any .ml community. I’ll use any other instance version even if it’s smaller. I haven’t personally blocked the server yet, but it’s getting closer.
I see a lot of people talking shit on Hexbear, but I mostly just see posts of .ml
Defedding .ml has been one of the most benefitial decisions we have ever made. There’s so much less toxicity!
Yeah, ML commenters consistently have some of the worst takes in the thread pretty much anywhere.
There are plenty of ml users that make perfectly normal comments. My client just collapses all of them since I have .ml blocked.
If it’s a community about cats, the probability of a picture of a cat licking itself actually being CIA propaganda is low(er)(ish), so the collapsed comments can be expanded at-will.
(We all know that cats are CIA moles now anyway, so having that regurgitated ad-nauseam is pointless these days. We get it, ok?)
Lemmy.cafe is defederated from lemmy.ml? Are you guys defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad too? If so I may have found my new instance :o
out here gunning to be the instance i recommend to noobs
Embarrassing. I can’t believe I donated to this guy.
How do you see who actually performed the mod action? It always just says mod when I look at the log.
I think you need to filter by user
Update: He did it again fellas!
I dunno if scaring people off of their instance’s communities is a deliberate attempt at building an echo chamber or just genuine dumbassery.
Honestly thank god the Lemmy devs made a platform that makes it so easy to avoid them.
- No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
I’m not seeing it, unless website admins are a marginalised class.
If you want rationality, don’t look for it from tankies.
Rule 1 and 2 are often swapped across different instances.
Bigotry is when you hurt an admin’s feelings, of course.
If any Lemmy.ml mods or admins are reading this:
Fuck you. Ban me, bitch.
The lemmy.ml admins who do this kind of thing are proud tankies. Pro-Russia, Pro-China, Pro-North-Korea, authoritarian “communists” are a marginalized class, dontcha know?
I can somehow understand pro-China and less so, but still conceptionally grasp pro-Russia. But how on Earth can you really think NK is not a brainwash concentration camp?
Tankies operate on a very simple belief system.
US bad > Russia don’t like US > Russia good
same for north korea, cuba, anything
they’re also all twisted up in pretzels now because russia and the us are aligned. most are going mask off and revealing they’ve always been pro-russian shills
that doesn’t surprise me. All extremists love Russia because they’ve become brainwashed by them. It’s really amazing how effective the brainwashing is. Ask a tankie, ask a nazi, any extremist, their views on Russia and they’re amazingly positive
We could call that the Chomsky fallacy.
Basically, “capitalism bad = anything anti-capitalism good.” And that’s pretty ironic to both support both NK and China for that reason, since China is an authoritarian capitalist state operating under the name of communism.
and they’re frequently pro russian even though russia is expressly capitalist-colonial in the form of its fascist regime
I remember seeing to mod in the post commenting on someone’s mention of North Korea. First he posted an image detailing the deaths caused by the US and South Korea during the Korean war, and that was it, no mention about NK specifically. Later he said that there was no proof that NK is brutally repressing its citizens. Then when someone said how everyone who fled NK said so, he said how they only do it for the shock value to get stories out and make money out of that, or something like that.
Basically people like that find anything anti-US as good, and if you say anything bad about those countries, they’ll ask for proof and then call whatever you provide fake.
They banned me recently since I was writing a comment talking about how many “memes” on !memes@lemmy.ml are oftentimes not even memes and just unfunny pushing communist agenda and how I was thinking about blocking the instance. It got a bit too many upvotes from them and I ended up getting banned. So in response I made this meme and posted it to !linuxmemes@lemmy.world
