A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Yes, same for lemmy.world. If you want to post something niche and find a dead Lemmy.world community maybe consider first seeing if there's one elsewhere to revive or even make yourself (assuming you're registered somewhere else of course).
Yeah, I have no problem with Lemmy.world (I mean, my main is on here), but spreading comms amongst at least a few instances is better for the overall health of the Fediverse.
Helpful links:
Lemmyverse is a good place for finding communities your instance might not know about
Lemmy Federate is good for seeding communities to other instances.
Oh boy, another post of .world furiously masturbating over the evils of .ml
I'm just here having newly federated everything and glad to be the fuck away from reddit
welcome! there is constantly infighting here. you chose a good instance.
.world is the most 'reddit' like of Lemmy, and that's not a compliment.
Considering most .world users are (former) Reddit users, it makes sense they'd get easily spooked by *insert thunder noises and ghost sounds:
MARXISM! UuUuHh!!
That platform has turned quite to the right with their moderation and acceptance
The .world admins are puppets of the Dutch government and the .ml admins are puppets of the Chinese government
Okay, so abiding by the law where your servers are hosted is being a Puppet.
Go stir up some drama in 196. There at least you know what you are doing.
Likewise the same with .world. Aim for a smaller instances community if you can contribute.
The weekly .world feud post right on time.
Edit: for someone who doesn't like .ml so much, why do you browse it enough to repost content from it? No worries comrade, they are our memes. Share away.
Worse yet, they also naively censor the r-word so if an .ml user types r*tardant it comes out as removedant
THEY WON'T LET ME SAY MY GODDAMNED SLURS FUCKING GODDAMNIT
I'M A CERTIFIED RULES LAWYER I SHOULD GET TO SAY MY FUCKING SLURS
Also, it disregards comment language
That's shitty. It effectively removes the ability to communicate in anything but English.
E.g. some frequently used words that are non-slurs: fag (nordics, meaning class/course), retard (french train stations will display this when trains are delayed). Living in Norway, I have frequently been frustrated when MMOs wouldn't let me talk to friends in my native language without censoring or even handing out bans.
lemmy.world user
Lol they banned discussion of jury nullification despite the fact that they have no reason to so their constant complaining about ml is moot
Hmm, no. I have many posts and comments regarding jury nullification and Luigi in general even in .world communities and not a single has been removed. .world is based on Denmark iirc and per Denmark law, it's illegal to discuss jury nullification in regards to future crime, but not crime already committed
So in Denmark, "Let's do [crime] and then we can get people on our side to do jury nullification" is illegal, but "Person did [crime] but I think their actions were justified, so let's do jury nullification" is not.
Which is why their TOS prohibits all discussion relating to it lol
There's always someone on .world with an axe to grind lmao
Oh the irony.
The instance tribalism is ironic; most of the people complaining about .ml have also been banned from other communities for similar behavior (racism, misogyny, etc).
It's truly the most reddit of instances. And yet, here I am.
There's nothing wrong with .ml communities stop the stupid infighting, splitting discussion on Lemmy further will do nothing but hurt the fediverse.
Having a tankie instance as prominent as .ml is already hurting the Fediverse. It's not a few bad Apple communities, it's literally the admins and mods cultivating an instance wide Tankie culture/factory full of China-bootlicking and genocide denials
it’s literally the admins and mods cultivating an instance wide Tankie culture/factory full of China-bootlicking and genocide denials
Dramatic 🙄
Fine, can we concede that while they're allowing other topics to flourish on their instance there are also unwritten rules that lead to confused banned users?
Can you elaborate about unwritten rules? Most of the bans I've seen has been for pretty clear rules violations, there's some stuff which might fly on reddit (like xenophobia, sexism, racism, transphobia), that will catch a ban here. Having rules against bigotry actually getting enforced is probably a confusing occurrence for some redditors. Even people behaving hostile will generally only catch a temp ban to cool down, permanent bans are more for people who are being bigoted.
I have had plenty of issues with at least one of the admins, despite that I have yet to be censored for saying as much. The red-baiting disguised as legitimate concerns rubs me the wrong way though.
So you admit to paying 0 attention?
YePowerTrippingBastards on my home instance is a good starting place, have fun
Or, you know, play the classic .ml card of pretending you don't know what we're all talking about
More often than not someone when complains about getting banned and I bother to follow up in the modlog it turns out that they got like a 3-7 day ban for acting like an complete asshole. Then they proceed to vague post about it months later despite the ban being long over.
The beauty of the fediverse is that people can block and see whatever they want. If you don't like what you see, that's a you problem not .ml's
"Nothing wrong" lol. Many of us have had propagandized disinformation blasted at us for recognizing realities we can see and hear with our own eyes and ears. I've practically been radicalized against visiting tankie spaces and it's because of their lies and responses to myself and others...
Take a look at the modlogs from .ml admins and moderators. Their rule 1 violation is a catch-all for anything that hurts their feelings. They remove shit that clearly break no rules all the time.
Don’t believe me? Go to any .ml community and respectfully disagree with anything positivity said on the topic of Russia or china. See what happens.
It’s almost as if they’re not smart enough to know that the modlogs are public or something.
This is the biggest flaw and issue with the fediverse and Lemmy, it's too damn fragmented with no good way to easily consolidate content from similar, or even identical, communities across instances. So people end up gravitating towards the same few that have the most content.
While this is true, I think this post is more a reminder that .ml is garbage.
I see the point you are trying to make, but have you considered the criminal US actions in Syria and how the US has evil imperial powers proxy wars and love nazis and make wars happen?
In conclusion: Whatever it is that you said, US bad, therefore you wrong.
Better .ml than .world, honestly
