Block these instances: lemmy.ml lemmygrad.ml hexbear.net
There is no point arguing with tankies. They are dumb and they won't change. I just hope there will be a way to completely block those users including their comments. They are polluting the fediverse.
Remember who the developers are.
Yeah. I hope kbin will grow and have a decent mobile app, then I can finally move over.
You also have mbin, being fedia.io its main instance.
And eventually we will have Sublinks I hope?
Check out Kbin.earth and the Interstellar app! :)
When I tried the Interstellar app earlier, it crashed frequently. Just tried it again with the current version and it seems to be very stable now. Thanks for the suggestion.
Is there something unique about kbin.earth? I am using kbin.melroy.org for now, which runs on mbin.
But... Kbin can federate just as easily with those instances as Lemmy. You shouldn't think "I'm going to move to kbin", that wouldn't help in any way.
You should rather move to an instance (using any backend you like, Lemmy, Kbin, doesn't matter) that has defederated from the instances you don't want to interact with.
yeah as soon as sublinks has an actual public instance i'm switching over
They seem to be really anti-nsfw, so that could be a driving force for improving their instance blocking (and is probably the only reason it exists in the first place).
They are anti blocking or..? I don't understand this comment.
The devs are the tankies that run lemmy.ml
That's just you finishing the tutorial.
I got a permanent ban on lemmygrad within days of making an account, see supporting Ukraine defend itself is obviously NATO apologia. I think the problem wasn't even my stance but that were actually convincing, they're not blocking you for saying "fuck tankies" or making bad arguments, they keep that stuff up to make, by extension, any criticism of their party line look stupid.
Only got temporary bans on lemmy.ml, for things such as pointing out that OP's article itself said that Ukraine didn't lay claim to the territories in Russia it officially recognises as "historically linguistically Ukrainian" in response to others in the thread doing the usual "Zelensky is a Nazi oppression Russian speakers" thing (never mind Zelensky being a native Russian speaker and Jew).
I got banned from some of these as well! First time I’ve ever been banned from anything lol. Guess it’s a badge of honor on lemmy
No. It's just said you are nazi creep who simp for terrorist right wing state like modern Ukraine,
Remember to always take the pills your doctor tells you to take.
It's a bit extreme to block the entirety of Lemmy.ml, no?
This is what OP was banned for. It’s not just the world news community, the admins police wrongthink across the entire instance.
Yeah that's pretty bad.
I wonder what the listed offence was, because what OP stated in the comment is absolutely true. Did they conveniently forget the 9-dash line? China is absolutely laying claim to waters that have already been declared to belong to the Philippines.
OP said the offense was “yellow peril”
What a BS reason
to join lemmy.ml you need to copy and paste a paragraph from a communist text, so, no
? Since when. I used to have an account there months ago when I migrated from reddit. I don't think I would have missed that at the time
Yeah I had an account there too and I set it up like every other account. Found out later on that ml was Marxist Lennin so I setup shop at lemm.ee instead
.ml is the top level domain for the country of Mali. .ml domains are free, so it is just a coincidence. Also, Marxist-Leninism is not a 'tankie' theory, by itself. There are plenty of communists and socialists that aren't simps for China and Russia.
I would even say that you can't be a true communist and support either of these countries, because these countries are not communist at all. They are just authoritarian capitalistic hellholes, with sprinkles of social policies to give the illusion of pursuing a communist society.
Dessalines, lemmy dev and admin of both lemmygrad and lemmy.ml, is a Dengist. And not exactly coy about it.
And don't even fucking start to pretend it's "lemmygrad dot mali".
Fuck I'm retarded.
I've been here for months and kind of known all these components but just never connected the dots.
I was even defending Lemmy at one point.
Well, lemmy is code. From what I heard the indefensible thing about it was the utterly unoptimised DB usage but with influx of new devs that got quite a bit better.
At the beginning there were talks about a fork but one doesn't just fork a FLOSS project if there's no technical reasons, or reasons regarding project management, and in that regard dessalines appears to be sane.
🤦♀️
I never knew whether that was true, I just drifted away from it. .ml just means it is on a domain designated for Mali, but they could have explicitly chosen that domain to use it for another purpose.
Damn, I guess looking back, the .ml wasn't about Mali lol
This is blatantly not true. To sign up for lemmy.ml, you have to provide an email, name, and a couple sentences of why you're joining. You should stop inventing false statements and spewing them on the internet. It's not good for anyone. In fact, it makes everyone who dislikes lemmy.ml look like idiots.
It is they who are extreme.
I don't miss anything there other than the Firefox community.
No
There already is, go to an instance that defederates from them. Or try to convince your current instance to do it. Or make your own personal instance so you're in control of what you defederate from.
