So far I have been censored on .world but not on .ml
Oh, it's the regularly scheduled sabre-rattling post.
He has a little star in his calendar for every month.
Yep, they even get a bunch of their posts from Lemmy.ml communities and cross post them to non-Lemmy.ml communities. That's fine, but this is just a huge dedication to inter-instance drama.
I don’t care for the moderation policies of .ml but I don’t see what shitposting about it all the time without the context that they will ban you for “pro capitalist” posts does other than split the fediverse and make users who don’t even know what your problem is act defensive
The “average .ml poster”/“average .world poster” discourse is worn out.
Better .ml than .world, honestly
I don't know why ml is so hated
The admins and mods of .ml are the biggest Tankies of Lemmy, they refuse to admit that China is an authoritarian dictatorship that has committed recent genocide and constantly lick Putins boot saying things like Russia was justified in invading Ukraine unprovoked
[email protected] though you'll need to view through another instance because .ml blocks this community specifically
Probably should be noted those communities are filled with the brigading efforts of like two chronically obsessed people who use alternate accounts to stir up shit or screenshot posts they often write themselves.
.world is basically Reddit. They want Lemmy to be Reddit, and censor Lemmy as if it is Reddit.
If you make a negative post about .world it will get removed by their mods but they never apply their rule to .ml
And this is exactly why .ml is so hated. That comment is pure .ml propaganda.
I have seen tons more .ml posts where mods go rampage mode and remove anything criticizing Communism, Russia, China, authoritarian regimes, their genocides, .ml itself, their mods, hate on US or any western nation, brigading ...
.ml stands for Marxist Leninist, and they make sure you know it.
Y'all know you can post to more than one place, right?
OP makes these posts on around a monthly basis, they have a pattern of posting these instance-drama related posts fairly regularly.
Average .world poster trying to keep their CIA ran platform alive.
avg tankie
Can you explain what you mean?
They're saying .world is anti-china.
Likewise the same with .world. Aim for a smaller instances community if you can contribute.
Oh boy, another post of .world furiously masturbating over the evils of .ml
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
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).
Lemmy's search is dogshit... It's my number one problem with this place. And this is the ONLY place I use these days.
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.
See nobody says this kinda thing about sh.
More in line with your comment though I wish there was a way to specifically merge a few comms into a single feed just for viewing purposes. So if you wanted to you could merge two c/memes feeds from different instances. You'd either have to take the post button away from that view or make it prompt you to select one of them from a list though.
Would also be cool to be able to export / share merger lists so if you trust someone's opinion on which subs from a topic are worth following or go well together or even just want to migrate your own list you can do that too.
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.
Worse yet, they also naively censor the r-word so if an .ml user types r*tardant it comes out as removedant
Ah yes, the classic Scunthorpe Problem
I believe you mean clbuttic
I very much like that, by all reliable reports, Scunthorpe is a real cunt of a town 😁
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.
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.
Crossposting
That relies on users knowing every sub similar to the one they want to cross post to. It also still fragments comments to each instance.
Yall can view All to right? I know it defaults to local, but you can press one button and see everything not defederated.
True, but the same issue happens with reddit as well, for example gaming vs games vs truegaming. Over time those communities either found their niche (gaming sub became mostly memes, games sub became news and discussions and truegaming tried to become a more serious discussing sub). Actually there were way more gaming subs but unless they found their niche they died out. So people gravitating towards specific communities is a natural occurrence.
As for trying to automatically consolidate communities across instances, it sounds like a great idea on paper but seems like technical she moderation headache, because you won't have a clear source of truth. Let's say instance A and instance B both have a community called news. The same news article with the same title is posted on both communities on both instances by different users. Assuming we want to consolidate those posts into one, which instance post will be shown or in more technical terms, which instance becomes the source of truth for that post? Who makes that decision? What if there's also instance C with the same community and the same post but that instance isn't federated with instance A, how do we consolidate posts? Each community has its own moderators and moderation rules, who is allowed to moderate the post? What if the moderation rules contradict between instances and both instances want to apply the rules independently, are they supposed to split the post?
Maybe there is an elegant solution to all the problems but I don't see there being one. I'm not against the idea, the problem is you want to solve its something I have given some thought and because of that I just don't see it working out the way you're imagining it.
Consolidation is still worse long term. There's not that many competing communities.
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.
I concede that despite not being alive when it was going on, I am just as guilty as everyone in the CIA that rigged elections and staged coups in South America. Everything I've come to know and understand in this lifetime is tainted by imperialism and is therefore invalid.
There's always someone on .world with an axe to grind lmao
There's nothing wrong with .ml communities stop the stupid infighting, splitting discussion on Lemmy further will do nothing but hurt the fediverse.
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.
I swear I need to make a log or something at this point for when this inevitably gets brought up so I can just paste links. I frequent any community and respectfully disagree all the time. I have one moderation from when I first started and didn't "respectfully" comment (making pooh jokes, I wasn't trying to engage seriously in a discussion and back the mod action).
Let's make this easy, show me one example of what you're talking about so my mind can be changed.
"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...

Editors note: the person above is speaking about things happening in countries they have never visited, and cannot speak the language of, as reported in press based in geopolitical enemies of those countries.
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
Tankie culture/factory full of China-bootlicking and genocide denials
Gee, I wonder what your disagreement is
splitting discussion on Lemmy further will do nothing but hurt the fediverse.
No one's saying defederate.
I am, but I already am.
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
No other instances need to make feud posts about .world because the natural behavior of the mods and users does a good enough job to drive people out.
No marketing campaign needed.
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.
I wasn't so lucky. I didn't even post about jury nullification. Just a Luigi reference.
Which is why their TOS prohibits all discussion relating to it lol
world is based on Denmark iirc
Nope. I'm not sure which but I'm 100% certain that it's based in either Canada or the US
per Denmark law, it's illegal to discuss jury nullification in regards to future crime
No such law here either. Just like in the US, it might lead you to not being selected, but it's not illegal.
Let's do [crime] and then we can get people on our side to do jury nullification" is illegal
True, but it's only the "let's do crime that's (conditionally) illegal. The mention of jury nullification doesn't make it any more or less illegal to probably and knowingly advocate crime.
Anyway, since that kind of thing is EXTREMELY difficult to prove, it's exceedingly rare that anyone gets punished for that particular crlme, making your point a moot one.
In conclusion: I feel completely safe in stating the truth that when the law and the systems it protects is unjust, the just break the law and others should try and help them avoid undue or excessive punishment in Denmark.
Nah I'll keep my content off of blahaj as long as their mods want to legitimize trolls.
What's this about, sorry? Is this the thing with keeping chasers on here (which I personally don't agree with)?
EDIT: Ah, never mind. You are a bellend. Should have guessed since you are moaning about the instance full of trans people. Do one, gobshite.
It's over having a community wide hard line on pronouns. Even if a suspected troll is using neo pronouns (or any pronouns frankly) that's not a license to misgender them.
The user that sparked the recent controversy (drag) has a history of being pretty volatile/offensive but that's still no reason to compromise on neo pronouns.
I for one would rather put up with someone 'trolling' while using neo pronouns (until the inevitable ban for saying something shitty) rather than tolerate anyone getting misgendered in a trans-inclusive space.
