For all your boycotting needs. I’m sure there’s some mods caught in lemmy.ml’s top 10 that are perfectly upstanding and reasonable people, my condolences for the cross-fire.

  1. !memes@lemmy.world and !memes@sopuli.xyz. Or of course communities that rule.
  2. !asklemmy@lemmy.world
  3. !linux@programming.dev. Quite small, plenty of more specific ones available. Also linux is inescapable on lemmy anyway :)
  4. !programmer_humor@programming.dev
  5. !world@lemmy.world
  6. !privacy@lemmy.world and maybe !privacyguides@lemmy.one, lemmy.one itself seems to be up in the air. !fedigrow@lemm.ee says !privacy@lemmy.ca. They really seem to be hiding even from another, those tinfoil hats :)
  7. !technology@lemmy.world
  8. Seems like !comicstrips@lemmy.world and !comicbooks@lemmy.world, various smaller comic-specifc communities as well as !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee
  9. !opensource@programming.dev
  10. !fuckcars@lemmy.world

(Out of the loop? Here’s a thread on lemmy.ml mods and their questionable behaviour)

      Pug Jesus summarized it well enough. I didn’t think I’d have a stronger stance on it, but I am strongly in favor of defederating. I also have a very strong personal opposition to MLs in general, since I essentially regard them as traitors due to the faction’s pattern of conduct.

              Since when is throating cock only a homosexual act? That’s actually kinda bigoted to suggest.

              And yes, metaphor can be very difficult to understand. I’ll try to speak more literally so you can keep up. Not defending an authoritarian dictator doesn’t automatically make someone a liberal.

                When you use it in the context of being an insult it’s pretty easy to conclude you’re trying to be bigoted. Last I checked Ukraine was the one with a coup government and suspended elections.

      Are people actually that serious about defederating from Lemmy.ml?

      Yes. I avoid Lemmy.ml communities like the plague, but because I don’t feel there’s intentional hostility from the community towards outsiders, unlike Grad or Hexbear, I don’t think I’m in favor. I do understand the underlying thought process. It’s difficult to ‘join hands’ with a community, however otherwise normal, which is run by genocide deniers who very clearly use their power over the community to push a narrative of genocide denial.

        You are the premier genocide denier I’ve run into on this platform, you’re more concerned about the Democrats election chances than the people they help kill.

            I think I made it pretty clear, but when it comes to Israel’s genocide the above poster is outspoken defending the Democrats supporting it, but when its US state enemies they’re getting extremely mad about anyone not repeating the US state department line on things.

          Because I want less genocide instead of more? How curious.

            Are you planning for voting for any political parties which are directly aiding active genocides in the near future?

            Biden is the only one circumventing congress to get bombs sent to Palestinian refugee camps so far

            Clearly the same standards don’t apply to pushing the political opinions of lemmyworld, hence all these threads.

        The thing is, as far as users and communities go lemmy.ml is pretty much a general purpose instance like lemmy.world, but it is controlled by political extremists who are using their admin position to put their thumb on the scale to push discussion in a certain direction.
