      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?

        You have to make a new one.

        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.

            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

                  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.

                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

        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 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 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

              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.
