When lemmy.ml answer detected:

I like to get them going. I respond with "that's BS" or "prove it" and they give me a essay

I don’t have an issue with lemmy.ml users but that’s because I don’t use sweeping generalizations. I’ve had perfectly acceptable conversations with people across all kinds of instances.

I’m not a tankie but am a fan of parts of communism and I like socialism.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 44 points 4 months ago (8 children)

I like socialism too. But I hate bootlicking authoritarian simps who pretend like they know shit about socialism because they read that one Lenin essay on Marxist.org

Looks at username

Wait a minute...

[–] hark@lemmy.world 59 points 4 months ago (5 children)

Does "be civil" include constantly shitting on huge groups of users just because of the instance they created their account on? There's a very simple solution for this if you truly believe an entire instance is worthless and it's called the blocking function, but I suppose that'd stop the joy you get out of loudly complaining about that instance repeatedly.

.world consistently removes memes calling out their own communities. But they leave up any "meme" bashing .ml

a) Huge groups of users well known to spread the promotion, praise and propaganda of dictatorships and other authoritarian governments, bigotry, racism and transphobia. Even when there are hard facts against them.

b) The Lemmy blocking function isn't anywhere as good as you think it is. Maybe even by design, the main admin on .ml is also the lead dev of Lemmy after all.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 23 points 4 months ago (3 children)

If you're mad at lemmy.ml users for doing those specific, detestable things, why not make make the meme to be about lemmy.ml users doing those specific, detestable things instead of any lemmy.ml user making any comment?

As a resident of a politically indifferent instance that is on good terms with everyone, I can say one thing:

Fuck absolutely everyone who turns Lemmy into yet another Internet battlefield.

Leave .ml alone. Leave Hexbear alone. Even yes - leave Lemmygrad alone. People there will not change their opinion when facing hatred, and newbies coming there doesn't change the big picture, as Lemmy is federated and they can figure stuff out for themselves.

Trying to silence entire instances, especially the biggest ones, is absolutely not a welcoming picture to whoever's coming here, and being cut out and filtered for happening to choose the "wrong" instance is the worst possible greeting.

All tankie users are in .ml, but not all .ml users are tankies.

You should always judge the merit of the comment, not whether or not the person is from .ml. If you see a comment that is pro-CCP or pro-Kremlin from an .ml user, then the point of the meme is valid. But a well-thought, benign, good-faith or wholesome comment from an .ml user should not be dismissed.

Not everyone in a nazi bar is a nazi. Let's hear them out and give them the benefit of the doubt even though they could go to literally any bar, but keep going to the nazi bar

  1. Why does everyone have beef with lemmy.ml
  2. Why don't you just block the instance

Edit: thank you for real responses, got so used to be people getting pissed for no reason on social media that I was genuinely surprised to check Lemmy and see a bunch of genuine answers with no butthurt to be seen

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 85 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (5 children)

Why does everyone have beef with lemmy.ml

The admins and mods cultivate a community of genocide denial and authoritarian apologism, which many users on the instance then buy into.

Why don’t you just block the instance

Instance blocking only blocks communities, not users, who still show up whenever there's a Chinese genocide to deny or a Russian atrocity to "WHATABOUT", or a non-Western aligned dictator to "BOTHSIDES".

My current favorite is Taliban-simping.

The ml in lemmy ml means marxism-leninism, it's maintained by the lemmy devs so it has lots of "normal" users too. Some people associate lemmy.ml with "tankie" viewpoints.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 24 points 4 months ago (10 children)

I choose not to block the instance because there is a very small group on there that have non-political discussions that I enjoy, same with hexbear.

I also don't like creating an echo chamber where all I hear is what I want to hear. Hearing from the other side, as disgusting as their viewpoints can be, at least let's me know how they think.

  1. Lots of toxicity and bad takes.
  2. It isn't literally the entire instance.

Ah yeah. Good old fashioned social media toxicity.

Mixed with some old good internal left fighting.

The taste of success. Surely.

hmm, I wonder why .ml dislikes .world so much. It couldn't possibly have to do with us shitting on them so much.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago

hmm, I wonder why many other instances dislikes .ml so much. It couldn't possibly have to do with them praising and spreading the propaganda of authoritarian governments so much.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 months ago (2 children)

As a user of neither, I've only been banned from one of them for making fun of government leaders

That's a bit harsh if you ask me. Back in 2021 there wasn't many Lemmy servers for register.

You can scroll through my 1.400 comments and don't find a tankie-like comment.

Btw. Lemmy.ml is the dev server, every new update and feature starts here.

Even though I came from reddit, I approach comments on their own merits and I don't downvote just for disagreeing with someone.

We are not the same.

i joined .ml as it was the first instance i come across when trying lemmy out. Iv heard the admins are tankies but to be honest i dont actually know what a tankie is. i just use lemmy to look at memes and follow foss communities. i try to block all political stuff as i want to enjoy my exprience and stay ignorant to the politics here.

I was on ml and it was pretty chill for a non-tankie. Until a mod powertripped and ban me for insulting an homophobe. Some people like me join the instance without knowing of all this tankie thing. IMO, hexbear is far more toxic.

Reposting my comment from the last .world feud post

Couldn't care less about lemmy.world. This post has the same energy as people in comment sections publicly announcing they are blocking someone.

Do what you want. No one cares.

The lemmy.ml instance is known to have admins, mods and users that spread the promotion, praise and propaganda of dictatorships and other authoritarian governments, bigotry, racism and transphobia. Even when there are hard facts against them.

For the record, I joined lemmy.ml back in 2021 when it was the most popular instance. I had no idea about their issues, and have since created an alt account on lemm.ee.
