For all your boycotting needs. I'm sure there's some mods caught in lemmy.ml's top 10 that are perfectly upstanding and reasonable people, my condolences for the cross-fire.

[email protected] and [email protected]. Or of course communities that rule.

[email protected]. Quite small, plenty of more specific ones available. Also linux is inescapable on lemmy anyway :)

[email protected] and maybe [email protected], lemmy.one itself seems to be up in the air. [email protected] says [email protected]. They really seem to be hiding even from another, those tinfoil hats :)

Seems like [email protected] and [email protected], various smaller comic-specifc communities as well as [email protected]

Fair enough, is definitely not my experience and I have an account on .ml for about 1 year.

I could argue that I see more trolls on lemmy.world than any other instance, but that obvious: is the larger instance but probably the ratio troll/normal people is more or less the same than any other instance.

they’re the worst kind of “it’s not my job to explain it to you, Google it” people too.

That's a behaviour that I do not see ever on the communities that I participate(basically technology and linux)

I wonder if where you have your account affects how you notice where the trolls are from? Like I don't notice trolls coming from .world much because I just see a username, where a troll from .ml is [email protected].

That makes a lot of sense.

Maybe they see your ml account and hate you by association because of abuse they've suffered from other ml accounts

yeah, I'll agree. the tech communities in there are not like that. it's the political ones.

an example: they'll say something off the wall about the Ukraine war and American support for it, you'll reply with something that mentions the Americans that support and don't support it among many other things, they'll dog pile you for using the word "liberal" with the common American definition because apparently linguistic drift is illegal. theynever get off the subject and then never actually tell you their definition and how it differs.

that's every political discussion with anyone from .ml involved. if it was just their own communities it would be fine, but it's that they go out and do that with every community that doesn't defederate.

imagine it this way; what if "the Donald" had broken off Reddit later and made one of the largest lemmy instances. they were perfectly cordial when you were in their funny dog pictures community, but they constantly act like trump supporters in every political thread.
obviously we'd all defederate with them. very few world even question that at this point.

that's what this is. they're just loud, and extreme, and annoying on this one subject. we'd rather not see the Linux main community hold us captive against excising the problem.
