Maybe someday 😌

But your logic supports .world defederating .ml so that when a user is ready to "leave the kiddie pool" they do so by moving to a wider instance, like .zip
Everyone needs a taste of anti-imperialist and non-Western takes, either for their sanity or just for their ideological development. I know Americans are gonna need them since the empire is coming home with full force, for instance. Without them, without 'radicals' like those in .ml, the folks will just be fed a new narrative to curtail their cognitive dissonance (it's the most imperceptible of buzzes for the least cerebral among us but it's still there) and they'll eat it up because that's all they're exposed to. So, no, they should be connected, for the sake of exposure. It's important too for those more .ml-coded to read, post and quickly check the downvote/upvote ratio in .world just like it was/is on big subreddits to get a feel of what the average literate Westerner, who at least considers discussion important (better than your average American, for instance), is thinking/has been fed recently.

Lol, Tankies just simp for authoritarian regimes like Russia and NK that claim to be communistic.
If you want to pull people to your political side, then you can do so without relying on misinformation and conspiracy theories. Which is unfortunately not what the admins of .ml have chosen to do.

Nobody told me all this when I signed up. I was simply instructed to pick an instance, and I did.
This is one of the downsides to Lemmy, you're expected to understand what the hell an instance is before you even use the platform.

Silly comes in different shapes, but the imperial narrative will almost always be untrue and always serve immoral interests!

I definitely didn't know how heated people were towards .ml when I joined. istg I'm not a tankie.
Oh yeah? Prove it, cowboy! 🧐

What would you guys even talk about?
bicker*

This is, why Lemmy will probably never be successful.
People are told to choose any instance and they choose the biggest ones, because that's also probably the one with the most content and activity. And after that other people will tell them they made a bad choice and it's their own fault.wrote on last edited by [email protected]Even the devs are fucking tankies. I'm thinking of moving to PieFed and hope for the best. Been hopping websites all my life anyway.

No. I don’t think a group of bad actors should kill an instance. We all have so many tools to ignore people or entire instances.
What if the bad actors are admins?

Quick, say something bad about Russia!

I think they are saying it's important that ML people see more nuanced takes. Though without a coherent paragraph structure it's difficult to tell.

Be bigger than them. Probably sees your instance as some sort of threat. They always shit on the big instances, I've seen Hex users refer to SJW as "Shit Just Stinks" before and they were celebrating the .ee shutdown. They consider .world some sort of right-wing instance run as a CIA/fed psyop
Do these people not ever talk to anyone in real life? How do you arrive at thinking all real humans are Marxists/Leninists?
-
You sound like a communist. I hate communists, because they think we can just get rid of the state after we seize the means of production.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]You mean Marxist-Leninists. Marxists/Leninists would be people who are either Marxists or Leninists, and as a Marxist-Leninist, I'm opposed to both. Marx was an idiot, he said "workers of the world unite" like he'd never heard of Communism In One Country. And Lenin was a counterrevolutionary who wanted the vanguard to work with the support of the workers. Marxism-Leninism, a political philosophy invented by our great leader Joseph Stalin, is far better than either Marxism or Leninism.
-
I'd rather they stay on ML, that way I can block the instance and never hear from them.
Thank you for being the voice of reason. You may not want to hear from socialists because you're a fake CIA liberal, but other people deserve to hear our message and to be banned by our great admins

They're not here to see "more nuanced takes" nor they care about them. They are here to brigade posts, spread propaganda and make any discussion a pain. You can't even imagine how often tankies tried to tell me the history of my country is fake and they know the ultimate truth about it all, way better than the people who actually lived that history.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]But they're a dbzero user, not an ML
Edit: I guess those aren't mutually exclusive

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

You can block it for yourself if that works for you. You don't have to limit other people's options.
