I haven’t found Lemmy.ml to be all that objectionable. It’s not like they are hexbear.
They’re not as bad as Hexbear, sure, but they’re constantly turning everything into a political discussion.
After spending a bit of time on communities based on their instance, you just get so sick of hearing about it.
Hexbear are vile, ML are just annoying.
Why are they vile?
hexbear is a circle jerk of neo tankie ass shittery.
If you show up in hexbear, and say literally anything moderately outside the scope of discussion you cop an immediate ban and get told to kys by like 12 people in about 12 seconds.
That was my experience at least.
Just like world?
Some of us are nice
… You’re on lemmy.world lol 😭
I set my feed for all instances to appear. Despite the reputation of lemmy.ml, it’s been gaining traction recently.
The vegan community recommended people to move to Lemmy.ml or hexbear 🤦
The lemmy vegan community is toxic and is just self-selecting with the rest of the poison.
That’s great. Maybe it will open space for a good community to form.
I mean, most of .world is toxic, so…
If the discussion is good, what is the problem? Genuine question.
Lemmy.ml is run by people who spread authoritarian propaganda, most likely the CCP. It’s a real stain on Lemmy and people shouldn’t support or legitimize it in any way.
Those same people are also the lead developers of lemmy.
Exhibit A of the original dev’s moderation style
Fuck that guy, best thing he did was make Lemmy open source so it can grow beyond their tiny little world view
Lol, you go and shit in someone’s house and then get upset that they kicked you out.
Your mistake is not having lemmy.ml blocked
How? I keep seeing hexbear comments even though I blocked the entire instance
I see this as an absolute win! The point of decentralized social media is that discussion happens across many different linked sites. It doesn’t work if lemmy.world is the only big site out there.
Sure have your beef with the admins of another server, but why get upset that discussions are happening there?
It’s important that one group of people should not be able to monopolize the discussion. I believe it’s important to the long-term health of the fediverse even if I don’t agree with some of those groups.
I agree there, but only if both sides of an argument are arguing in good faith. A lot of chucklenuts out there just want to start shit with bullshit arguments or to simply be contrarian. If one side is rational and using actual evidence while the other is blatantly pulling shit from their ass, that’s not good for anything.
It’s only really a problem when comments get removed or people get banned because they have opposing views.
Pro palestinian comments get removed on lemmy.world. Some people have the same argument as you but about diametrically opposing idealogy
Have an example? It should be in the modlog.
As the top comment points out, they banned Linkerbaan. You could argue it was a public service.
I don’t agree with that user on most of the stuff but when it comes to israel you guys make them look like a normal person.
lemmy.world users when lemmy.ml user don’t immediately suck up to political propaganda
There’s a reason why having both world news communities from both instances is a good thing. You’ll receive a much wider range of sources and bias, as well as the perspective of people who don’t completely agree with you.
Staying within on instance community creates an echo chamber like reddit. There’s even such a wild difference within lemmy.world between c/Politics and c/News, despite them often posting similar news and info.
You’ll receive a much wider range of sources and bias, as well as the perspective of people who don’t completely agree with you.
That’s why I often interact with Truth Social /s
This, but
lemmy.worldinstead oflemmy.ml:)No point in participating in political discussions on LW, as mods just label anything they don’t like as misinformation/propaganda/etc. 🙃
