Can someone inform me about what's wrong with lemmy.ml?

Yeah do this,
So after we can finally talk about mods on LW, being pro Israel and moderating comments against IDF.

Oh ? That will not happen ? 😱

The beauty of the fediverse is that you can make it how you want. You can self select into a instance that best reflects your individual values. You can block what you want. You can see publicly what the instance and moderators are doing.

Why would anyone be mad about that?

I wish I could. But as a mod, it very much helps to leave all people and instances/communities unblocked.

Something about .ml and MLs in general is that they really just aren't that large a group. If we want larger communities, Reddit is still much bigger than Lemmy. If we want a flawed ally in politics, progressive liberals outnumber Leninists and are far less likely to deliberately betray us. (That's why MLs always equate Liberalism with fascism; if people can ally with Liberals MLs have basically nothing they can bring to a coalition, and so they can't seize power.)

progressive liberals outnumber Leninists and are far less likely to deliberately betray us.

Progressive liberals eventually realize the conflict between capitalism and progress and drop the liberalism. Then they either check out or they join whatever group is organizing in their area. Ideology is secondary to building power and actually improving people's lives.

That’s why MLs always equate Liberalism with fascism; if people can ally with Liberals MLs have basically nothing they can bring to a coalition, and so they can’t seize power

The reason liberalism is equated with fascism is that fascism is a failure mode of liberalism; as the contradictions of capitalism grow, liberals either stop supporting capitalism and thus are no longer liberals or drop any pretense of freedom for the working class and apply methods typically reserved for colonies at home to protect capitalism.

Who are 'you' in this equation? A boat dealership owner?

You folks are blowing this way out of proportion.

I boycotted them months back. I came to lemmy to get away from reddit mods.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, Lemmy was famously founded to get away from moderation.

😂
