Anyone else get censored and banned at [email protected] for simply voicing a opposing opinion?
Anyone else get censored and banned at [email protected] for simply voicing a opposing opinion?
Just curious if anyone has experienced this and is this common for communities in the .ml domain?
I mean it's awfully pathetic.
Edit: Well, thanks for answering my question, especially the guy from .ml. Good to know what the behavior in general is over there.
Funny to see this come around every month or so when a new group of people come in and think "hey this is an interesting sub, let me joint this discussion!" and then come the questions.
In summary: don't go to hexbear, lemmygrad, and the .ml instances, they are silly places
I've actually been using lemmy for a while, I guess I've just been lucky enough to have never comment in one of these in all that time. But live and learn and good to know.
Just happened to me today (not for the first time) when I questioned somebody's idiotic meme with a post that just said "What is this slop?" which was apparently worthy of removal. Even mild criticism is not ok with them because their bubble is very, very thin.
It's fine, whenever it happens it reminds me to block the community and the author. I recommend you do something similar to make Lemmy a nicer place to be.
I know better than to engage with those... people. But sometimes I don't notice the domain on the community I'm reading from the All feed. Wish there was a way to just hide everything from those instances on my feed (without standing up my own instance).
Voyager provides the ability to block whole instances. Is that not default Lemmy functionality? I've been using the Voyager WPA since it was wefwef, so sometimes I forget what's native and what isn't.
Good question, maybe it's possible these days. I know it wasn't when I first joined. I'll do some digging!
That is normal .ml behaviour.
Defederate? 👉👈🥺 (Jokus)
You have been site-banned from .ml
Seriously though, if .world defed'd from them that would be so nice. .ml gets awfully mad about it when you bring it up though, almost like they're afraid of missing out on all the .world content despite calling .world all manner of fronts and propaganda outlets lol
At .ml? Oh boy. Did you say that Russia and China aren't communist utopias?
Shit, I guess I really should avoid .ml then considering my own background on China.
I made the bannable error apparently by making my first post there stating that Arab Americans for Trump, sorry for Peace, did shoulder some blame for the 2024 election, provided some stats showing that their efforts likely affect Michigan and that they would have to live with the consequences of their decisions.
.ml is awful, but you'll find a lot of those knee jerk purity types spread all over the lemmyverse.
Good ban from .ml. If only our mods were this based.
Did you make excuses for genocide OP?
So yes. ml is a lot trigger happier on genocide apologists.
If you don't want to be treated the way Stalinists treat dissenters, don't voluntarily put yourself in places where Stalinists set the rules.
It wouldn't be a Reddit replacement without power tripping mods.
I caught a ban for stating that Linus Torvalds is legally obliged to respect US sanctions against Russia.
This seems like standard behavior for .ml.
How does US have legal authority over open source or a Finn?
It is
It’s .ml, if you’re not banned from there you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and rethink your life.
Go check out [email protected]
I wonder if you can turn that ban into a speed run kind of like Club Penguin.
I can't even imagine what would be happening in that community. I'm sure it's all completely fair and level headed.
.ml doesn't need to pretend to be open to all opinions and points of view. The mods prefer to keep it as a leftist space and aren't interested in entertaining constant liberal commentary. If you think its pathetic then just block the instance and don't engage.
.worlders always love a good whinge about it though...
yeah but they really shouldnt go around suggesting that instance to ppl if its not for general use and is worse than reddit when it comes to censorship
Its one of the most reccomended ones offsite, half the comments replying will be about how trash it is, anyone sees that comment chain they'll assume lemmys ass altogether
I couldn't even if I wanted to since I'm no true scotsman and was banned after a single initial post. Very pathetic of the people there and very sad that the people there are so fragile they can't handle any sense of dissent. I mean that's a lot of conservative energy there.
