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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 could have sworn I had a screenshot of it, but I’m still looking. But please enjoy this other one I grabbed of .world and .ee users being called bots in the meantime
I do apologize for the inconvenience, but for now I will have to leave you on a cliffhanger. After spending another 10 minutes looking I gave up, it’s out there though, I saw it with my own eyeballs.
Maybe I’ll write something that can do a better lemmy search or send my screenshots through OCR, but my project list atm is rather…long and has other more important things on it, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so who knows lmao
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.
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
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.
You can browse by “local” and “all” with the tab at the top of the page. Local is posts from just your instance, all is everything not defederated with your instance.
That’s why I suggest people go to a instance with as few deferations as possible. You can block instances, communities, and users. You know what you want to see. You don’t need a admin to tell you what you want to see.
I’m glad instances with tons of defederations exist for those who want that, but that’s not for me.
just a heads up, the instance you’re on is pretty controversial.

You have to make a new 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.
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
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.
🤷

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
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

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.
Lol nahhh .ml says we’re all CIA shills and .world is a CIA front full of bots! Lmao
I haven’t heard that one before, hallucinating again?
You do seem more obsessed with people to your left than anyone to your right, not really beating the crypto fascist allegations
I could have sworn I had a screenshot of it, but I’m still looking. But please enjoy this other one I grabbed of .world and .ee users being called bots in the meantime

Check out !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works 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/meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
You get banned for dissent against Russia or China or even NK on .ml comms
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.

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 !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
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
Alright where next? I’m not invested in this space
lemm.ee, the instance you are on, is fine. In fact, the admins are great people.
I’m so sorry but you have to spell this out to me
What is the difference between lemmy and lem.ee? And I suppose I should ask “where am I?”
Is this like people individually hosting their own reddits?
You can browse by “local” and “all” with the tab at the top of the page. Local is posts from just your instance, all is everything not defederated with your instance.
That’s why I suggest people go to a instance with as few deferations as possible. You can block instances, communities, and users. You know what you want to see. You don’t need a admin to tell you what you want to see.
I’m glad instances with tons of defederations exist for those who want that, but that’s not for me.
So, lemm.ee is a lemmy instance, its like its own mini-reddit. lemmy.world is another instance. You can follow communities accross instances though.
You can read this, hopefully it will help: https://lemm.ee/post/54947321/18643464
