Some people get really bent out of shape that not every instance is exactly the same as lemmy.world, cheer-leading for the exact same worldview. They are intellectually brittle and emotionally weak, so when they don't see the same group-think taking over somewhere they can't control they need to post something like "BUT WE ALL HATE THEM OVER THERE, RIGHT FELLAS?! WE GOOD, THEM BAD! LET'S DE-FEDERATE!"

World has its own problems. The rampant use of slurs/general ableism is unbelievable. If you say a word about it they shout you down with more vile slurs/insults.

Are you asking what terms they use?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Correct. I've been here for just a month, but so far I haven't seen a single slur that's ableist, homophobic, transphobic, racist, or xenophobic.

I see variations of the r-word several times a week. A lot of c-word too whenever women come up.

Say anything negative about that stupid mbfc bot in !news and you'll get a ban.

Check my comment history. I routinely say many extremely negative things about that stupid MBFC bot in !news and have yet to receive a ban.

The mod logs don't lie and LWA has responded in this thread acknowledging the issue.

Did you even look at the logs for the bans? Things like telling a real human person (not the bot) to "fuck off" definitely break the rules independent of thoughts on the bot. And the admin's response was that they would look into it.

people that disagree with me are dumb and sensational, here's an emotional strawman argument against them
