It was a "alternatives to American apps/sites" on Reddit that got me here
just a heads up, the instance you're on is pretty controversial.
I thought the whole point of Lemmy was that it didn't matter what instance you joined. Can I move my account, or do I need to make a new one on a new instance?
people peer pressuring over instances can be disregarded, they're almost always shit-stirring
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
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.
Did you open the link at all? That user literally just said that Drump would be the dumbest president ever, even dumber than NK dictators and caught a 14 day ban from /c/memes for it. That is not ban worthy whatsoever, but on .ml it is for the sole reason of it speaks ill of NK.
There's plenty more on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works but ironically .ml blocks you from seeing it, so you'll need to use this roundabout link instead http://lemmy.world/c/meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
Some instances just have higher standards than you and don't tolerate ableist insults
Lol yea calling Drump and dictators dumb is definitely abelist/s LMAO
yes, we get it, you're extremely edgy
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.
LPT: Maybe don't start comments with "Go fuck yourself", people might take you more seriously or be more receptive.
🤷
Look at the preceding conversation, instead of cherry picking a comment maybe 🤷♂️ dude was already handing out temp bans in the thread for anyone that disagreed with him stating they're trolls, then he's the one trolling. Got called out, couldn't handle it.
Theres a community about ml drama "meanwhileongrad" thats blocked from ml so youd never see it
