So I decided to go to sopuli.xyz. Viewing their all/hot is not much different than what I have now. However Sopuli is closer to what I expected .ml to be. There are some instances with zero defederations (completely unsensored), but I’m happy not seeing porn, discrimination, or ads in their feed. @Oka@sopuli.xyz

I have noticed the high level of political memes and threads and don’t care for it. I didn’t understand why they were so common, I thought we were all trying to get away from politics.

I will try a different instance and report back.

I hear you. When I first joined .ml, they were pressing for people NOT to join it. To create their own instances so that .ml didn’t become a central entity, and get overwhelmed with users. The latter did occur during the reddit exodus.

I also agree that they can curate and manipulate the instance to their ideals, which will limit casual users and their reach.

I don’t feel like I’m being secluded, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. I have seen hate for .ml users and hexbear users, and I really don’t get it. The fediverse shouldn’t be segregating users based on what instance they’re in. That’s like saying all US citizens are awful because they live there.

The views of .ml mods have not affected me. I don’t really check my subscription feed, only /all or /top->day, therefor im still exposed to all those other communities.

The only instances that I’ve noticed are missing are porn related, and as an asexual, I don’t have an interest in them. If I did, I could just visit a different site, like pornhub or w/e

Not all .ml users are tankies, or communist, or foss enthusiasts. I’m just a guy who likes memes and tech

“I love when my girl is naked”

Oh heck

Warrior!

You might incredible strength, and you can probably pwn somebody’s face.

But you are worthless without a priest, you are destined to raid for all your life.

Luckily they wrote a tribute

Mosquito candles.

Mosquito repellant.

Similar theory. That’s usually how I find out a poster is trolling. I ask for clarification and they double down on their original post

Memes: upvote if I find it funny

Text posts:

• upvote if agree
• do nothing if disagree, but the post is valid
• downvote if OP is trolling, or rude, or otherwise makes me uncomfortable

But, there are exceptions

But still pronounced “kern-ing” and no one knows why

Sounds like you’re describing dissociation. I’d talk to a therapist if possible. It might be triggered by trauma or other condition as someone else mentioned.

That happened to me with the Mario movie. I was the only one in the theatre for that particular time

Like you’re saying, it’s not that we’re labeling ourselves, but that we’re spreading awareness on multiple levels: LGBTQIA+ folks are sprinkled in our population. If someone goes their life without knowing any, or seeing any, they might feel alone and outcast.

I’m an Asexual male and I represent in my day to day with just a themed baseball hat.

Ability to filter out political posts. I’ve blocked a few communities, but politics still invades things like news, memes, etc.

It’s impossible to completely block it, I’m just saying hypothetically, if I could remove everything remotely political, I would.

• Minecraft, sometimes.
• Garden of the Sea, when I first played it
• Walkabout mini golf
• Lumber Tycoon 2 on Roblox

I’ve played every BL to date, except new tales.

The writing peaked in 2, it was great in 1, it went downhill after that.
