Honestly... yeah.

Hexbear is a no brainer to block but ml was very much "fine" with a high tolerance for tankie idiots. But it feels like the hexbears figure out they are all blocked and are now just moving to ml en masse.

Sucks because there are actually some good users on there. But I just can't with the swarm of righteous stupidity.

But did you ever CONSIDER that Stalin was a GENUS and those people DESERVED to die for disagreeing with him?! Did you!? HMMM!?!?!

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 75 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Also America is a genocidal privacy hating country of scum!!

What? No, China is perfect. Nothing to see here.

My favorite are the couple openly trans people who consistently simp for regimes that would gladly disappear them.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 35 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They're currently defending North Korea. It's ridiculous.

[–] WamGams@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 months ago

I am not shocked.

I know how easy it is to both be trans and also be put into a cult-like mindset at the same time (guilty of this myself), but come on! These consiquences are deadly.

Don’t forget Putin bravely defending himself against western imperialism by invading neighboring nations, and how he must secretly be a communist no matter how much of the country he has privatized and sold off to his cronies.

[–] popcap200@lemmy.ml 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'll never understand why tankies defend a colonial imperialist oligarchy like Russia when it has nothing to do with socialism/communism.

I am very new to the fediverse, and .ml was the second instance I tried as I was feeling things out. I was not having a good experience at all. I saw so much content that didn't sit well with me, and the discourse made me never want to comment. It's validating to hear it's not just me.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago

Dude, I hung out in hexbear when I first came here cuz I thought they were fun scamps. Lol. That didn't last long at all.

[–] popcap200@lemmy.ml 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I got banned from lemmy grad and hexbear awfully quick here and almost gave up on the whole fediverse before someone pointed out you can block instances.

I was an early Lemmy user, and joined back when .ml was basically the only choice.

It was weird, but the thing that really got me considering a different instance was just how many words they added to their censor list.

I messaged the admins and told them that it wasn't a great system, because it censors posts with "removed" whenever a forbidden word is used, and because of that I can't tell the difference between someone saying "bitch" and someone saying the n-word. How am I supposed to know whether or not to report such a comment if the offense part is obscured. "What a stupid removed" could be slightly sexist, or indefensibly racist.

They told me "All slurs are bad, you should report those comments just the same".

Ay, fuck you guys, the words I gave you as examples are absolutely not equally bad, or at least, anyone with a functioning brain wouldn't make that argument...

[–] tgf@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago

.ml mods are so socialist that they even see all the swear words as equal

[–] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 5 months ago

It completely tracks b/c MLs can't do math as a consequence of their inability to reason.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

What's the point in even involving a report, then? Why not just auto flag any post with a bad word or just block it from being posted in the first place?

Not saying any of that is a good idea, just following that logic a bit. Censoring words is fucking useless IMO.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 68 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

Looking at the lemmy.cafe blocked instance list makes me pretty happy. Probably going to make an alt over there as well for when I need a breath of fresh air.

Definitely happy to see Hexbear on that list.

Why remind yourself when they show up in every thread ever outing themselves as burnt-sickly grass walkers?

[–] androogee@midwest.social 18 points 5 months ago

Did you miss the defederated part?

[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 12 points 5 months ago

Are you implying those people are in regular physical contact with grass? I'm doubtful.

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 5 months ago

Like its crazy, if I see an insane comment, I always say "of course a .ml would say this shit" without even reading the username and I was never wrong

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 21 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Odd. I see this without issue.

[–] Zangoose@lemmy.one 34 points 5 months ago

I'm guessing lemmy.cafe has .ml blocked but not the other way around, OP likely can't see your comment

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 9 points 5 months ago

Block doesn't mean defederated.

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 17 points 5 months ago (3 children)

You mean lemmygrad? I can still see this, fortunately

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 51 points 5 months ago (2 children)

.ml has gotten more obviously tankie as lemmygrad and hexabear became more defederated. Asshole imperialists don't simply want to have their own spaces, but the have the biggest spaces be their spaces. They want to convert normies and suppress those that disagree.

[–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well... That's what imperialism is, after all.

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

That's exactly why imperialists should never be welcomed, no matter how benign they pretend to be. Concessions won't stop an enemy that seeks absolute victory.

Maybe because it’s posted to a community on an instance different than OP’s? I wonder if they can see your comment

It does suck. So much defense of American imperialism and capitalism from older liberals.

Blocked world after one too many interactions left a distinct incel smell in the air.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 5 months ago

Yeah honestly ml and world are probably about the same on the genocide denial front - they both have a handful of problematic users who are unfortunately very vocal - ml from the tankie angle, and world from the liberal angle

But I'd say the majority of users on both instances are alright, in my observation

[–] MicrondeMMMMMMM@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 5 months ago (2 children)
