It was a "alternatives to American apps/sites" on Reddit that got me here
Just got so sick of reddits smarminess. It’s also just astroturfed corporate BS at this point anyway.
I’ve been boycotting Amazon for over a year (and quite frankly won’t ever stop), won’t shop at Target and won’t visit super corporatized social media.
Reddit has proven time and time again they’re just a whipping boy for corporate interests.
Are you me from the future? This is literally my mindset right now. Just started boycotting Amazon, Target, etc.
Yeah I knew it was bad but this last round of suppression was the final straw.
just a heads up, the instance you're on is pretty controversial.
I thought the whole point of Lemmy was that it didn't matter what instance you joined. Can I move my account, or do I need to make a new one on a new instance?
You have to make a new one.
I've been on .ml for half a year and it's a good one. Not many defederations, so I can pick what instances i want to see and not have some faceless admin pick for me.
If you really struggle with certain users who are passionate about certain topics, just block them. This is true for any instance. Don't forget to block me to. Thanks.
The reason it doesn't matter is because they all interoperate, unless one of them is a problem and needs to be cut off. Yours isn't the worse but some people do have a negative opinion of it. If anyone decides to de-federate you won't be able to see posts from there but this probably doesn't matter a whole lot unless the instance you are on is a total pariah
So, the no matter what instance thing isn't really true. Moderation is different per instance, mods can remove comments locally. Account migration is planned, but not there yet.
Yeah it doesn't matter - don't listen to drama fiends. .ml is fine. Lots of people decry it as being a tankie instance. The whole point of federation is you aren't limited to the content on your instance - just by which instances yours is federated with.
If people or your instance bother you, make another account. Otherwise, just ignore the haters
Well it doesn't, but that instance has a... reputation... So some people might have that entire instance blocked. You'd have to create a new account elsewhere to move over
Every instance has a reputation. A lot of .ml posters think that .world posters are libs and crypto fascists(if they distinguish between the two). And some folks accuse feddit.nl users of being... Well... Dutch.
I suppose they're not wrong. But I hope I'm not blocked by some people for it
Likely only Austin Powers father.
Does shitjustworks have a rep? So far so chill, I don't think I've heard any controversy about this one.
Every instance has a "rep," sh.itjust.works is generally seen as right-wing.
Cowbee is a known Tankie, everything to them is right-wing, they think I'm right-wing LMAOOOOO
SJW is not seen as right-wing outside the Tankie Triad, for an actual right-wing instance see hilariouschaos.com
you literally are a mod of a conservative community!
Check the side bar, it's a satire conservative community lol
I actually became a mod of it and turned it into a satire of the conservatives comm because the actual few conservatives here abandoned it, that's the only reason why you guys on Blahaj can even see it because Ada had it blocked on your instance for awhile lmao
using "jokes" to push conservatism is a common tactic of crypto-fascists as is warmongering shitposts like noncredibledefense or spreading 4chan greentexts, both of which are the top communities on SJW (intentionally chosen by the way) which combined with the transphobic admins creates a alt-right vibe on sh.itjust.works
After a quick look through it, so far it looks mostly like jokes dunking on conservatives. Not the "jokes" crypto fascists are all about, aka saying something horrific and then saying jk jk afterwards.
I am quite far from being a conservative and I am well aware of what happened to r/TheDonald and I am trying to walk that fine line, I plan to lock the comm entirely if I feel like it's shifting away from true satire.
Despite what Tankies think about me, I'm actually pretty far left, I would even love to see the fall of capitalism in my lifetime. Where we differ is the fact that I don't consider swapping out capitalism with just another form of authoritarianism is the path forward whatsoever
That being said, I've seen your type of opinion before, and I simply don't agree, a lot of people need a varying range of humor to deal with harsh realities, like with the fact that MaGA and other global alt-right movements appears to be "winning"
Take a look through my comment history and it'll be abundantly clear, to be ever more clear, Fuck Trump, Fuck Putin, Fuck Muskrat, Fuck AfD, and fuck any other Right-wing leader/political party around the world
don't forget, fuck the Democrats and Joe Biden
I'm a Marxist-Leninist, sure, whatever you want to call that. SJW is generally seen as right-wing for hosting some of the most pro-US and anti-communist communities, and having an admin that thinks China and Russia are pushing "gender politics" to radicalize western youths against the US. This is MAGA-tier conspiracy theory nonsense and undermines the real struggles faced by transgender people in order to push their own political agenda.
You yourself essentially just stir up drama and repost content from Lemmy.ml, which is kinda silly. Same with trying to make "Tankie Triad" a thing, Marxists occupy far too much of your time for someone who presumably isn't a Marxist.
Being a Tankie doesn't mean just being a communist, being a tankie is defined as "authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof. "
You guys censor anybody who speaks against Russia/NK/or the CCP and it's well documented. People catch 14 day bans for merely saying that Drump and NK dictators are "dumb" or saying "Fuck Russia" on a meme about Russia being pushed away from getting help from Trump by the French (iirc) PM (which also got removed) and it's also hilarious your bring up the SJW admin when one of your own did the exact same thing.
SJW isn't right-wing, that's just what you say about everyone whose explicitly not a tankie
I could post ever more links about the .ml censorship problem but I think made my point
[email protected] if you want to see more evidence everyone
lemmy.world/c/[email protected] for those on .ml since .ml doesn't want you to see it!
“Tankie” is a caricature. The idea of a tankie is the ideal vision of a McCarthyian Communist. In reality, the overwhelming majority of people labeled as such don’t actually fit that label, it’s more of a way to cast an image of someone’s positions based on, say, support for AES countries, and twist that into the evil Commie Pinko that haunts the dreams of 1960s children in the US.
Either way, Lemmy.ml has a higher standard when it comes to racism, ableism, homophobia, and other forms of chauvanism. Many people are critical of Russia, the DPRK, CPC, etc yet don't get removed because they don't break those rules. Moreover, I am not a representative of Lemmy.ml, I am no fan of Nutomic and have stated that before, transohobia is unacceptable no matter who does it.
As for MwoG, I have seen it, and I don't really care for an anti-communist drama community polulated by stalkers, doxxers, and drama-baiters that take things out of context or fully stand by bigotry unironically (that's where the transphobia from the SJW admin came from, you'll notice).
Lol nahhh .ml says we're all CIA shills and .world is a CIA front full of bots! Lmao
very good way to put it
Is lemm.ee chill or should I be making a new account?
Oh yeah, lemm.ee is great.
Controversial? How come? I’m new to the Fediverse so I’d love to learn as much as I can. 🙂
Lemmy.ml is very pro Russia/pro communism
I explained a bit here: https://lemm.ee/post/58018253/18825295
But I'll go into more detail : )
lemmy.ml is the instance run by the lemmy developers, who are tankies. Tankies are people who support authoritarian regeims such as the soviet union, or north korea.
As such, they sometimes remove anti-china or pro-ukraine posts/comments.
They also sometimes bridgade threads.
As an example, check [email protected]
Don't worry about the other posters trying to dissuade you from lemmy.ml. It's a very chill instance. It gets flack because it is run by and has a majority leftist base, but that shouldn't be an issue if you consider yourself a progressive. The "tankie" slurs are frankly b.s. and disingenuous. I wouldn't call the sub "pro-Russia/China" by any means, the users are anti-imperialist and realistic in the nature of US propaganda depicting other states as bogeymen. Just because you question the mainstream US-centric narrative doesn't mean you're shilling for China/Russia etc. There's a lot of liberals and centrists, that despite their progressive sentiments they may hold, are still very beholden to the narrative of American exceptionalism in a lot of ways.
Guessing it's coming from shitjustworks people. Politics mod over there doesn't like anyone pointing out the Dems weak ass "resistance" even if you are lauding another Dem(Rep Green) at the same time lol.
Wherever it stems from it's getting annoying to deal with the influx of "enlightened centrists" that have the idea that anyone left of Biden/Harris is a secret Russian/Chinese disinfo agent :/
