I blocked ML instance pretty quickly on my account. Heavy handed but probably for the best

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I recently made the decision to unsubscribe from the vast majority of ML communities I was in. They've been getting a lot more obnoxious as of late, both in terms of the normal users as well as the mods getting more heavy-handed.

Honestly, I recommend everybody consider it for themselves, as well. If you have communities hosted on ML, it might be a good idea to start migrating elsewhere, because I see them quickly becoming defederated from a lot of instances soon with the way they're progressing.

Same. I’m “boycotting” lemmy.ml if you will. Not contributing a single, comment, upvote, or subsciber count, to posts and communities on an instance that supports Russian and Chinese imperialism.

Welcome back to the real world

What did you do, have an unapproved opinion? Did you refuse to bow down to the DEI masters? Are you not willing to treatfediverse people as delicate children? Did you prove someone's statement is false with references and verified documents?

I supported the banning of Russians on the Linux kernel. I also pointed out that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was unprovoked and unjustified.

Somehow I don't think they liked my opinion. I've had my fill of Lemmy.ml and I'm trying to move off of it completely. It appears I'm not totally banned from Lemmy.ml but that probably will change in a heartbeat.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 hours ago

Ah yeah I engaged in that discussion as well. Only got a comment deleted though. lemmy.ml gets wilder and wilder, they are openly tolerating support for Russias invasion of Ukraine at this point.

It's a good thing to get banned there I guess.

As I said, banned for unapproved opinion.

I do not support Ukraine because of being the most corrupt country, at the very least in Europe. I've also heard various people say they need to defend to protect the global banking system. Watch videos of citizens in Ukraine, nobody is getting a part of the $150 billion, it's goijg into people bank accounrs.

If possible, I want Russia to lose and Ukraine to lose. It is a tyrannical gangster at war with mass corruption. Evil vs evil.

Ukraine certainly was one of the most corrupt nations in Europe. Pre-pandemic its CPI score was 30, placing it between Bolivia and Myanmar.

Russia scored 28 (ie, worse). So I'm not sure what outcome you expect from Ukraine losing. I'm also interested to hear if you think countries like Mexico, Nigeria or Cambodia, also below Ukraine in the ranking, are "evil" and don't deserve statehood.

It's better for the Ukrainian people that they be their own national state and not a satellite state. But I am not willing to trust Ukraine with any outside resources and gullibly believe they won't be stolen from the people, like the billions of dollars being dumped on Ukrain, the people are still hungary and the soldiers don't have weapons. Somone from outside has to clean up the Ukranian government in order to function for the private citizen.

I feel the same way about Haiti. The people need a mass amount of help, but any donations, whether food or money, is not staying in Haiti, so people have to go to Haiti to help, sending money will not make its way to help anyone.

And yes, I do think Mexican givernment is evil, Nigarian government is evil, but I'm all good with the people. Also, the American government is evil as well.

Ukraine isn't the corrupt county you think it is. Even if it was, that hardly justifies an invasion.

Let's be honest the real reason Putin invaded Ukraine is because he wanted a Russia controlled buffer between mainland Russia and the west.

What could possibly have led him to decide thats what would be best for the ruling class of his country? Did he or other members of the Russian government never express this sentiment? If they did, what were their reasons, and regardless of what those reasons were, why wasn't enough done about them?

Are all questions you should think about and look into maybe

Because the corruption was getting out of hand in the mafia state. See: the state of russian army
