Thats not true, lemmygrad and hexbear exist
Jeez what'd I do
I may not like the .ml political stance, but there are definitely people on there that may have non-political things worth listening to, which is why I haven't bothered blocking them. They may have some good opinions on open source software and such. I just avoid their news community because I know I will disagree with them and their stance.
The spread of Russian propaganda and misinformation is in large part the reason for a lot of the right-wing BS. There's been articles and documentation of their Misinformation campaign for at least a decade now
"Russia, shit military, fantastic intelligence service" ~A lemming comment I read once but can't find again
We should not be a party to it's continuing spread
Fair enough.
They can always venture out of .ml. They're much better behaved when they do, which is great for everyone.
I like being exposed to opinions I don't agree with and don't like - it makes me feel like I am not just hiding in my bubble. I will admit that there are anti-capitalist threads in there that I agree with.
There's hundreds of instances you can use for that that aren't tankie psyops.
This would be a fine sentiment if the feeling were mutual with the .ml admins. Their entire thing is aggressive censorship of ideas they disagree with, so if your ideal is free exchange of ideas, then you support the opposite of that by engaging with them.
Nah .world would suck all by itself they have their own brand of censorship
What censorship? I have documented evidence of .ml's rampant censorship
If .world is doing their own flavor then where's the receipts?
Also, .world doesn't need .ml, nobody needs .ml, they only have like 2 comms that don't have a non.ml variant that beats them in MAUs
OMG nobody fucking cares.
Time to change your diaper, OP.
You can block it for yourself if that works for you. You don't have to limit other people's options.
It doesn't work, on Lemmy block is nothing more than a mute, and the instance "block" (mute) does not even affect the individual users of an instance, just hides the comms of that instance from your view
Lemmy's "block" still leaves you open to all manner of brigading that they've been known to do
And it still allows conspiracy theories, propaganda and misinformation to spread and fester and affect users who are unaware
They literally have articles over there spreading the Russian propaganda that Putin is justified in invading Ukraine because it's "full of Nazis"
Besides this is the Threadiverse, there will always be an instance with wide federation if you as an individual choose to open yourself up to that kind of "content"
I can block .ml communities in my GUI. But I can't block its users, unless I go 1 by 1. Blocking the communities is big, but not enough.
I think you can block the entire instance, not community by community or user by user.
I
.world needs .ml else it would just become Reddit 2.0, just as boring and asinine, but without the traffic. .world is the kiddie pool... but not everyone knows how to swim, so it fills an important role!
After lemm.ee went down I joined ml because it was the largest instance ๐
I didn't know the backstory
.world is Shitlibia so you did fine.
I definitely didn't know how heated people were towards .ml when I joined. istg I'm not a tankie.
Quick, say something bad about Russia! ๐
fuck Putin, slava Ukraini!
Lol it's ok, they do things purposefully like that to an extent to get that result. Like if you go to Lemmygrad or Hex's homepage its quite clear you're somewhere weird that needs further investigation.
You go-to lemmy.mls homepage and it looks like a normal "privacy focused" instance. Until you innocently comment in support of Ukraine or something and find yourself being dunked on and banned for supporting a "Nazi regime"
Just like how NATO is a defensive alliance
If you could be so kind as to list the number of times NATO has gone on an offensive war, I'll be waiting.
Russia has a history of invading its neighbors, with several notable examples including the Soviet invasions of Hungary in 1956, Czechoslovakia in 1968, and Afghanistan in 1979. More recently, Russia invaded and occupied Crimea in 2014 and has been involved in conflicts in Georgia and Ukraine.
What would you guys even talk about?
Idk memes n stuff
bicker* :D
