It was a "alternatives to American apps/sites" on Reddit that got me here

[–] [email protected] 10 points 20 hours ago (41 children)

just a heads up, the instance you're on is pretty controversial.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 19 hours ago (6 children)

I thought the whole point of Lemmy was that it didn't matter what instance you joined. Can I move my account, or do I need to make a new one on a new instance?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

The reason it doesn't matter is because they all interoperate, unless one of them is a problem and needs to be cut off. Yours isn't the worse but some people do have a negative opinion of it. If anyone decides to de-federate you won't be able to see posts from there but this probably doesn't matter a whole lot unless the instance you are on is a total pariah

[–] [email protected] 6 points 19 hours ago

So, the no matter what instance thing isn't really true. Moderation is different per instance, mods can remove comments locally. Account migration is planned, but not there yet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Well it doesn't, but that instance has a... reputation... So some people might have that entire instance blocked. You'd have to create a new account elsewhere to move over

[–] [email protected] 7 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Every instance has a reputation. A lot of .ml posters think that .world posters are libs and crypto fascists(if they distinguish between the two). And some folks accuse feddit.nl users of being... Well... Dutch.

And some folks accuse feddit.nl users of being... Well... Dutch.

I suppose they're not wrong. But I hope I'm not blocked by some people for it

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

Likely only Austin Powers father.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Does shitjustworks have a rep? So far so chill, I don't think I've heard any controversy about this one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Every instance has a "rep," sh.itjust.works is generally seen as right-wing.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Lol nahhh .ml says we're all CIA shills and .world is a CIA front full of bots! Lmao

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I haven't heard that one before, hallucinating again?

You do seem more obsessed with people to your left than anyone to your right, not really beating the crypto fascist allegations

[–] [email protected] -1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

I could have sworn I had a screenshot of it, but I'm still looking. But please enjoy this other one I grabbed of .world and .ee users being called bots in the meantime

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Yeah it doesn't matter - don't listen to drama fiends. .ml is fine. Lots of people decry it as being a tankie instance. The whole point of federation is you aren't limited to the content on your instance - just by which instances yours is federated with.

If people or your instance bother you, make another account. Otherwise, just ignore the haters

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

people peer pressuring over instances can be disregarded, they're almost always shit-stirring

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

It's seriously getting old at this point. I've noticed there's been an uptick in hostility towards lemmy.ml over the past year. I can only assume it's related to the reddit migration. Unfortunately I only forsee it getting worse as more people migrate over.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 15 hours ago

At a certain point it becomes harassment and should be moderated accordingly. Something that we're going to need to do as we grow in order to be a functional social spaces that harassment needs to be something you get banned for because a lot of the negative experience people have on the corporate crap is because of widespread normalized harassment. If an instance isn't so bad it gets defederated users probably shouldn't be given shit for merely using it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Theres a community about ml drama "meanwhileongrad" thats blocked from ml so youd never see it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Have you considered that people just generally don't like supporting the authoritarianism that plagues China, Russia and NK

It's the authoritarian part of being a Tankie that a lot of us hate

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

There's a difference between support and pointing out blatant US propaganda. Like I said above, many people across the fediverse don't get the nuance of being critical of US narratives does not equal supporting the regimes that are on the recieving end of that propaganda. If you really spent any amount of time on .ml you'd see there is plenty of criticism of Russia/China, just not to the extent where everyone unquestioningly takes any criticism by US sources at face value.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Did you open the link at all? That user literally just said that Drump would be the dumbest president ever, even dumber than NK dictators and caught a 14 day ban from /c/memes for it. That is not ban worthy whatsoever, but on .ml it is for the sole reason of it speaks ill of NK.

There's plenty more on [email protected] but ironically .ml blocks you from seeing it, so you'll need to use this roundabout link instead http://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 0 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Some instances just have higher standards than you and don't tolerate ableist insults

[–] [email protected] 0 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Lol yea calling Drump and dictators dumb is definitely abelist/s LMAO

[–] [email protected] 0 points 12 hours ago

yes, we get it, you're extremely edgy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I got permabanned from politics on shitjustworks for calling out the mod for being a hypocrite, so 14 days ain't so bad in comparison. Gonna go see what rule 1 over there is tho.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

LPT: Maybe don't start comments with "Go fuck yourself", people might take you more seriously or be more receptive.
🤷

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

Look at the preceding conversation, instead of cherry picking a comment maybe 🤷‍♂️ dude was already handing out temp bans in the thread for anyone that disagreed with him stating they're trolls, then he's the one trolling. Got called out, couldn't handle it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

Check out [email protected] or actually because you're on .ml, they block that comm instance wide

So you'll need to see it through another instance, like so lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

You get banned for dissent against Russia or China or even NK on .ml comms
