Why are ya posting about this here tho?

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 65 points 3 months ago (1 children)

We don't really have a theme in this community so it's not like it doesn't fit. But we are pretty united in being against tankies, so...

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Oh lemme be clear I'm not saying it should be removed or anything, I just think it's a bit of an odd space to warn others about tankie behavior or whatever. I admittedly bristle a bit when I see posts complaining about how something is moderated, and while I know they're part of forums and what-have-you, I don't think I've seen one posted in 196 like this.

So I ask outta curiosity, not condemnation.

A warning I guess. I didn't realize some of the communities were on .ml, which is the devs "flagship" instance so they ban people for saying stuff like "tankies gunna tank".

[–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

Devs are hardcore tankies. It's unfortunate

[–] Asudox@ani.social 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's best to just block the lemmy.ml instance.

[–] Lumu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Can you block instances? I never figured out how but that would be super useful.

[–] Asudox@ani.social 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah, since v0.19.0.

You basically never see anything that comes from lemmy.ml. Some instances like hexbear are worthy of being blocked by everyone. Though afaik most instances with sane admins have already long defederated with them so yeah.

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.autism.place 10 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Why not just stay away from lemmy.ml then? You can start the same communities on another instance. It would be like me going to a Nazi instance and pointing out that they ban anyone that celebrates diversity. Like, yeah... that's what they do. It's in their ethos.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 17 points 3 months ago

I didn’t realize some of the communities were on .ml

[–] shininghero@pawb.social 12 points 3 months ago

You technically can. The issue is that when the average Joe sees five instances of the community they're looking for, and the highest users/month stat is on .ml, they'll post there for the most traction. And the problem just self-reinforces from there.

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The mods are ensuring people stay away from .ml

Have you earned your ban of honor yet?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Just one so far.
