Don’t you ever change, .ml!
That’s what instance bans look like, yeah.
It’s also super inefficient. Comrade dipshit missed quite a few communities so it seems he can only ban based on communities I have commented in at one time or another.
You would think that the free speech leader of the world could write a better mechanism to erase dissent.
Pretty sure you don’t have posting privileges in them, that’s just what shows up in the modlogs as it purges comments, but I don’t remember the technical details from the posts about the mechanics.
I can still report posts on communities that I wasn’t explicitly banned from, which is just super weird. A proper ban prevents reports, at least.
TBH, I don’t care about the bans, but the Lemmy behavior is something to take note of for other admins and mods.
Seriously, why are they federated?
They brigade and always argue in bad faith.
They degrade the experience for the entire fediverse. Everyone outside complains about them.
wouldn’t it be worse if they were? Federated means it may allow new users who unfortuneatly land there to see outside their tankie walls. As soon as it defederates, new users may be “trapped” in there and not realize there’s other instances.
I’m think you are mistaken on what federated means.
Federated means they are part of the fediverse. Their post and comments propagate throughout the fediverse.
If they were defederated we would not see or hear from them.
They perfectly understand. Its easier for people who end up on lemmy.ml to leave, as they can interact with all the people their from other instances.
- Q: Why are they federated?
- A: because it would be worse if they were.
That answer does not address why they are still being federated. It states they already are already unfederated. Then they give an incorrect description of what federation is. Then goes on to defend them staying federated.
They are federated. That’s why we all see their bullshit. If they were defederated nobody outside their instance would be bothered.
Keeping them federated so users can sign up somewhere else makes no sense. It’s some GOP level mental gymnastics. They can go sign up for any other instances at anytime. The people there choose to be there.
Dum-dum: they are saying Lemmy has a shit sign up process. Some new people will pick .ml because it’s not obviously full of nutjobs from the url. Then they will look around and think Lemmy is full of nutjobs and leave.
Whether you agree or disagree is up to you but the issue they are pointing out just isn’t that complex.
Commented uder a post with the headline “genocide is no longer a ref line for the party auf Germany” Content was: they kicked out a Hamas supporter who denied Israels right to exist.
Now am Banned from .ml because I said it can be argued whether its the right thing to kick hamas supporters who deny Israels right to exist from the left party of Germany or not, but framing this as “genocide is no longer a red line for the left party of Germany” seems a bit populistic.
Apparently that’s racism (rule 1)
Don’t mind the tankies there, you don’t miss out on anything :)
I have to agree with them on this one. Colonizers do not have the right to create an ethnostate and commit geonicide just because some other white people committed geonicide against them. Furthermore, support for zionism is pretty well rooted in antisemitism. Essentially, it’s “get those jews out of here!”
Thats a strawman you arguing against. I never said anything about supporting zionists. My point is and was that throwing out Hamas supporters and being okay with genocide (slaughtering and starving innocent civilians) are two different things.
The same as throwing out supporters of the the right wing Israeli government would not be the same as being okay with slaughtering or kidnapping of innocent civilians.
I am not arguing that the action of throwing Hama’s supoorters out is good or bad, or justified or unjustified, I argue that its a different question from if you support the warcrimes the Israelis commit or not.
I see, that wasn’t clear to me from the initial comment.
Lulz. I was instance banned by the head comrade himself, so it fits.
I was too. For extremely mild criticism of Chinese authoritarianism 😄
.ml? It says lemmy.ca
Oh I understand now, thank you
Where do you check that?
