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

The beauty of the fediverse is that people can block and see whatever they want. If you don't like what you see, that's a you problem not .ml's

Gee, I wonder what your disagreement is

Dramatic 🙄

Fine, can we concede that while they're allowing other topics to flourish on their instance there are also unwritten rules that lead to confused banned users?

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Can you elaborate about unwritten rules? Most of the bans I've seen has been for pretty clear rules violations, there's some stuff which might fly on reddit (like xenophobia, sexism, racism, transphobia), that will catch a ban here. Having rules against bigotry actually getting enforced is probably a confusing occurrence for some redditors. Even people behaving hostile will generally only catch a temp ban to cool down, permanent bans are more for people who are being bigoted.

I have had plenty of issues with at least one of the admins, despite that I have yet to be censored for saying as much. The red-baiting disguised as legitimate concerns rubs me the wrong way though.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The tricky bit is how you guys have redefined what xenophobia/sexism/racism/transphobia means. I don't mind catching a ban, but at least get the reason right.

You haven't even had any mod action taken against you on lemmy.ml from what I can tell.

Plenty of other instances that you do use have banned you for racism and trolling though.

This one from hexbear was really funny:

You are unwittingly making their point for them. Hilarious!

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I mean they never even got banned from .ml, but here's a sample of other places they've been kicked out of, so this isn't really making the case for authoritarian mods on .ml tbh

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I remember that. Yeah, some hexbear users were saying that all white people should be killed. Apparently saying "no one should be killed for the color of their skin" is racism. Or at least according to their definition of racism.

I am so glad I blocked their instance.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml -4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Dude, chill. I got banned from hexbear for literally the exact same reason. Who cares? Let them run their own instance the way they want. They're blocked and you don't have to look at them anymore.

Authoritarian racists exist and want to murder you, welcome to planet earth. First day?

A reminder why under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered by the working class.

Check the modlogs. .ml uses rule 1 as a catch all for whatever is said that hurts their feelings.

Almost daily there are removals and bans that don’t break rules.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

weird, looks like you got banned for the same thing on lemmy.world, (hostility, repeatedly calling people "kids" in a derogatory way, and trivializing the ongoing genocide), but only had a post removed for similar behavior on .ml.
