I created an account a while back now, but it’s been mostly inactive since then. I’m liking it a lot more here!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, what the other guy said. lemmy.ml is run by tankies. best to move

i moved from .ml about a year ago because of their moderation... "policies"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Oh shit, I had no idea! Any ideas where I should move to? What kind of policies??

Geez, Putin is a little removed boy dictator so I’ll probably move.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

There is even a slur filter (it's not the case on other instances)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

basically you get banned for arguing against tankies.

as for which instance; where you from? what you into?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Welcome back! Just...be careful about what you say on the instance you're on LMAO

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Never heard anything about this, are you able to elaborate or provide any links?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

The admins and mods of .ml are huge Tankies and censor all content critical of China/Russia/NK and will deny they're even dictatorships let alone that they enforce censorship or any other violation of basic human rights

[email protected] has a bunch of content documenting what they get up to that you might miss if you're not in the modlog, but ironically for a group that complains about censorship they block that comm from all .ml users at the instance level so you'll have to look at it in a roundabout way.

lemmy.world/c/[email protected] should work

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Great, that’s all I need! I’ll move, Putin is a dictator that invaded Ukraine and anyone who doesn’t understand that can get fucked

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Haha yea! That one sentence probably would have got you banned if you said it on a .ml comm

If you don't want to deal with them, lemmy.cafe is one instance that defed's from the entire triad (Hexbear.net and lemmygrad are the other 2 major Tankie instances, but they're even worse than .ml, so most instances defed from them including .world)

If you don't mind fighting against them though .world, .ee and the excellently named sh.itjust.works all fed with .ml, but not the other 2

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Good to know, how about Lemmy.ca? I'm currently living in Canada so that one probably makes the most sense for me

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They defed with Hex and Grad, I think they're partially defed'd with .ml they seem to defed some of .ml's subdomains but not the main .ml domain

In general .ca is an excellent instance for Canadians, especially if you're looking to support Canadians, it's all hosted in Canada with Canadian business

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Appreciate your help, thank you!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The admins have a long history of banning people across the entire instance who are critical of China, North Korea, Cuba etc. That said, you should be fine and if you're happy with the instance then there's no reason to move. Some users like to make a bigger deal out if it than it really is.

The "ml" in the domain is supposed to represent "Marxist Lennist" which the ideology the instance is aimed at.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

The modlog is public for all to see. You can see mine by pressing the three dots on this comment.

So it shouldn't be an issue for you to give us examples.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well Putin is a dictator, if the admins don’t like me saying that they can ban me

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

you're not going to get banned for saying that, I would even agree. people get banned for being racist/chauvinist and then run off to cry about evil authoritarian censorship

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

okay racist/chavinist or ableist you're right I forgot one

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

So let me get this straight, we can't call Drump "the dumbest president of all time" otherwise it's abelist, is that right? LMAOOO you guys are hilarious sometimes lol 😂

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

it was probably also that they felt the need to say "even dumber than those North Koreans'

with higbrow humor like that and 'Drump' you really are the John Oliver of lemmy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Now now, no false narratives please, he very very clearly said dictators it's right there clear as day in the screenshot

The North Korea Dictators LMAO, ig we can't call dictators dumb either lolol 🤣

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

hey mister, sorry you have such a hard time with the concept that other people have standards

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

He can just block the instance whenever he wants so he doesn't have to worry about how others run their instance. I wonder why he chooses not to...
