I was browsing the fediverse explorer and did not find lemmy.ml in the instances list.
It was removed deliberately during the reddit exodus in order to direct new Lemmy users elsewhere. Rather than to overload lemmy.ml further.
Also, to push people to other instances to avoid centralization.
Best instance stays winning.
Oh, interesting. I guess now it should probably be added back
Shithole instance.
I'm on Lemmy.ml and am anything but a "tankie". Love it here. Tonnes of tech/varied posts in my main subscribed feed and I've never noticed anything other than a minimal dose of drama...Facebook or Reddit are much more toxic in comparison which is part of the reason I left those places.
As long as you don't post any uncomfortable facts about China.
Plenty of nice people on Lemmy.ml, sorry for the commenter above
There are some nice people. However that does not negate the glaring issues with the instance.
Ur getting a censored experience the censorship they have locally is hardcore.
This is the type of comment written by people that talk about .ml but never actually go to .ml
Plenty of uncensored criticism of both China and Russia. Just don't scream at everyone that they are a tankie.
Lmao. I have been to .ml plenty. I have gotten banned for simply mentioning the time Russia shot down a civilian airliner. Twice!
Context: rule 1 is about xenophobia/racism.
Yep. Plenty of china criticism allowed in .ml
Thanks for linking this, this is indeed more censorship than I have seen from other users and this does adjust my opinion of their censorship. Most of your comment is not entirely accurate (and weird as infrastructure is what the public uses) but this line does stand out
They should not have their entire population as slaves
Anyway I don't think that deserves a ban. Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah that's not accurate. They have plenty of oligarchs. Only most of their population is enslaved.
One could argue Americans are also slaves. Spam lists like this one. Japan is another Asian society with extreme workloads but they don't get these comments.
The standard of living has massive increased in China over the last 50 years. Their population has been worked to the bone, but it didn't just lead to nothing. We deem China to be almost a first world country. Often slightly worse but on the upper end of the second world. The rail infrastructure part is an example of what it did achieve which is why it's weird to "China bad" on that specific post.
Nonetheless I'd rather have seen a discussion than the mods just banning you.
Interesting
Naw... It's okay. We're good.
lemmy.world should be removed though.
Now I wish I can move between instances without losing everything.
Yep.
It is, someone should probably open an issue on the Github: https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer/issues
.............or don't.
My understanding is that Lemmy.ml is not exactly a nice place. Lots of drama. I'm staying out. But it very well might be a bad starting point for new users.
Then again I'M a new user, and I have next to no idea what's going on.
There is some drama, but at the same time some only exist there (see this post: https://lemmy.world/post/16235541)
For instance
So I wouldn't say it's such a good idea to not show them at all.
Didn't know! Were there any responses from the .ml admins?
~~I also noticed that this post is not available on lemmy.ml, apparently they banned the post.~~ Looks like they banned the OP from the instance.
It looks like admins from .ml ban people who write bad things about CCP and .world admins ban people who can write bad things about US imperialism. They both think that they fight trolls and usually it's the case.
For example, the banned OP wrote something like "Why, to ban criticism about China more actively?" in https://feddit.nl/comment/10140068 (6 days ago, while the post was created 9 month ago!) which is definitely not okay behavior.
I criticize US imperialism all the time. Not even a warning let alone a ban. So I don't think that's the case.
Uhhhhhhh.........I don't know. I just got here a month ago. I spent May smoking so much weed that I do NOT remember the bulk of May. Including the days that led me to Lemmy.
All I know, is I went through a very bad time in late April. So I just said to myself "too much shit is going down. I don't even give a fuck anymore."
And so it was. I was baked out of my mind for like 3-4 weeks straight. I've never done that before, but honestly, I needed that.
And now that I'm sober, somehow I mostly know what I'm doing within my own bubble on lemmy, but I would NOT call myself an advanced power user of Lemmy.
I learned while high, and although I retained what I learned, I don't remember learning it.
So now this is a new thing about Lemmy. I know of https://browse.feddit.de/ but I don't know of fediverse explorer.
Explain the difference between the thing I linked, which I think I was told is the be all end all of Lemmy community searching, and this Fediverse Explorer?
I'm excited for this Fediverse. I'm all in on this. I love the seperation, the redundancy, the freedom. But I feel like I'm in kindergarten, and you guys are like "check out this algebra!"
And I'm like "Do what now?"
Nice one dude. High memories run deep 😤
They basically do the same thing but the interface is better on this one.
Weird my vegantheoryclub.org instance shows up on browse.feddit.de but not lemmyverse.net
For some reason !weedtime@lemmy.world is not on browse.feddit.de but is on lemmyverse.net
Huh that is weird.
Thanks for the community though, don't know how I've never seen that one yet. Lemmy is actually bigger than people think sometimes.
I figured this all out and it was all my fault. I had a WAF rule blocking fediverse traffic on by accident and my instance had the allow list configured by me while stoned and I didn't realize that blocked everything that wasn't on it.
