Honestly... yeah.
Hexbear is a no brainer to block but ml was very much "fine" with a high tolerance for tankie idiots. But it feels like the hexbears figure out they are all blocked and are now just moving to ml en masse.
Sucks because there are actually some good users on there. But I just can't with the swarm of righteous stupidity.
But did you ever CONSIDER that Stalin was a GENUS and those people DESERVED to die for disagreeing with him?! Did you!? HMMM!?!?!
The Holodomor was a myth. As if a socialist regime would intentionally starve millions of people!
Disclaimer: famines can and do happen under capitalism, even intentionally (e.g. Ireland) but at least there's no widespread denialism like you see when they occur under ostensibly socialist regimes. And if they are acknowledged, then the debate switches to whether or not the country is truly socialist, or somehow this is still capitalism's fault.
I am very new to the fediverse, and .ml was the second instance I tried as I was feeling things out. I was not having a good experience at all. I saw so much content that didn't sit well with me, and the discourse made me never want to comment. It's validating to hear it's not just me.
I was an early Lemmy user, and joined back when .ml was basically the only choice.
It was weird, but the thing that really got me considering a different instance was just how many words they added to their censor list.
I messaged the admins and told them that it wasn't a great system, because it censors posts with "removed" whenever a forbidden word is used, and because of that I can't tell the difference between someone saying "bitch" and someone saying the n-word. How am I supposed to know whether or not to report such a comment if the offense part is obscured. "What a stupid removed" could be slightly sexist, or indefensibly racist.
They told me "All slurs are bad, you should report those comments just the same".
Ay, fuck you guys, the words I gave you as examples are absolutely not equally bad, or at least, anyone with a functioning brain wouldn't make that argument...
.ml mods are so socialist that they even see all the swear words as equal
It completely tracks b/c MLs can't do math as a consequence of their inability to reason.
What's the point in even involving a report, then? Why not just auto flag any post with a bad word or just block it from being posted in the first place?
Not saying any of that is a good idea, just following that logic a bit. Censoring words is fucking useless IMO.
Looking at the lemmy.cafe blocked instance list makes me pretty happy. Probably going to make an alt over there as well for when I need a breath of fresh air.
Definitely happy to see Hexbear on that list.
0/10 instance
Like its crazy, if I see an insane comment, I always say "of course a .ml would say this shit" without even reading the username and I was never wrong
Why remind yourself when they show up in every thread ever outing themselves as burnt-sickly grass walkers?
Did you miss the defederated part?
Are you implying those people are in regular physical contact with grass? I'm doubtful.
Odd. I see this without issue.
I'm guessing lemmy.cafe has .ml blocked but not the other way around, OP likely can't see your comment
Block doesn't mean defederated.
You mean lemmygrad? I can still see this, fortunately
.ml has gotten more obviously tankie as lemmygrad and hexabear became more defederated. Asshole imperialists don't simply want to have their own spaces, but the have the biggest spaces be their spaces. They want to convert normies and suppress those that disagree.
Looking at the federated/defederated instances on lemmy.cafe linked higher up in this thread, it looks like lemmy.cafe is defederated from lemmy.ml, but I imagine it is not the other way around.
You can see OP's content but they can't see your comment, basically.
lemmy world also just as aids.
It does suck. So much defense of American imperialism and capitalism from older liberals.
That's the point of liberalism? It wasn't invented to not do capitalism.
Blocked world after one too many interactions left a distinct incel smell in the air.
Yeah honestly ml and world are probably about the same on the genocide denial front - they both have a handful of problematic users who are unfortunately very vocal - ml from the tankie angle, and world from the liberal angle
But I'd say the majority of users on both instances are alright, in my observation
What's going on?
Nothing much. I'm just chilling for next 20 mins. What's up with you?
Eating some yogurt
nothing out of the ordinary lol
that's mean
So are tankies that end up in modlogs.
Aww poor baby
Lol
I know Hexabear and Lemmygrad are... the way that they are, but I joined .ml in the first wave of the migration because they said "privacy and FOSS enthusiasts" and it was basically all that existed. The users seem nice enough across lemmy too, meaning I don't notice the "tankies" from ml.
Am I missing something? Should I switch?
