Hexbear is a no brainer to block but ml was very much "fine" with a high tolerance for tankie idiots. But it feels like the hexbears figure out they are all blocked and are now just moving to ml en masse.

Sucks because there are actually some good users on there. But I just can't with the swarm of righteous stupidity.

But did you ever CONSIDER that Stalin was a GENUS and those people DESERVED to die for disagreeing with him?! Did you!? HMMM!?!?!

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 57 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Also America is a genocidal privacy hating country of scum!!

What? No, China is perfect. Nothing to see here.

Don’t forget Putin bravely defending himself against western imperialism by invading neighboring nations, and how he must secretly be a communist no matter how much of the country he has privatized and sold off to his cronies.

[–] popcap200@lemmy.ml 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'll never understand why tankies defend a colonial imperialist oligarchy like Russia when it has nothing to do with socialism/communism.

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 months ago

Because the vast majority are just as stupid as the libertarians. They don't actually know what socialism or even communism is. They just know they were told that capitalism is bad (and... it mostly is) and that if they support this revolution they'll get everything they want.

Its why so many are hellbent on accelerationism. They think that they'll become warlords during the civil war and get exactly what they want.

[–] superb@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, America AND China are genocidal privacy hating countries!

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

That's right.

[–] ealoe@ani.social 2 points 4 months ago

Indeed, but only one of them can you openly criticize while living within its borders without fear, and it ain't China.

I am very new to the fediverse, and .ml was the second instance I tried as I was feeling things out. I was not having a good experience at all. I saw so much content that didn't sit well with me, and the discourse made me never want to comment. It's validating to hear it's not just me.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 11 points 4 months ago

Dude, I hung out in hexbear when I first came here cuz I thought they were fun scamps. Lol. That didn't last long at all.

[–] popcap200@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I got banned from lemmy grad and hexbear awfully quick here and almost gave up on the whole fediverse before someone pointed out you can block instances.

[–] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

I actually got permabanned from both without ever commenting on either. I think I argued with a few users from both under a post at .ml and that did it.

[–] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 65 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I was an early Lemmy user, and joined back when .ml was basically the only choice.

It was weird, but the thing that really got me considering a different instance was just how many words they added to their censor list.

I messaged the admins and told them that it wasn't a great system, because it censors posts with "removed" whenever a forbidden word is used, and because of that I can't tell the difference between someone saying "bitch" and someone saying the n-word. How am I supposed to know whether or not to report such a comment if the offense part is obscured. "What a stupid removed" could be slightly sexist, or indefensibly racist.

They told me "All slurs are bad, you should report those comments just the same".

Ay, fuck you guys, the words I gave you as examples are absolutely not equally bad, or at least, anyone with a functioning brain wouldn't make that argument...

It completely tracks b/c MLs can't do math as a consequence of their inability to reason.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 56 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Looking at the lemmy.cafe blocked instance list makes me pretty happy. Probably going to make an alt over there as well for when I need a breath of fresh air.

Definitely happy to see Hexbear on that list.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 47 points 4 months ago (1 children)

my local admins are very appreciated 🥰🥰

[–] Gemini@lemmy.cafe 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Awww ❤️

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 17 points 4 months ago

omg hiiii :3

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 17 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Odd. I see this without issue.

[–] Zangoose@lemmy.one 31 points 4 months ago

I'm guessing lemmy.cafe has .ml blocked but not the other way around, OP likely can't see your comment

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

Block doesn't mean defederated.

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 17 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Why remind yourself when they show up in every thread ever outing themselves as burnt-sickly grass walkers?

[–] androogee@midwest.social 15 points 4 months ago

Did you miss the defederated part?

[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 10 points 4 months ago

Are you implying those people are in regular physical contact with grass? I'm doubtful.

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 4 months ago

Like its crazy, if I see an insane comment, I always say "of course a .ml would say this shit" without even reading the username and I was never wrong

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You mean lemmygrad? I can still see this, fortunately

[–] Delta_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Maybe because it’s posted to a community on an instance different than OP’s? I wonder if they can see your comment

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So blahaj is not defederated then

[–] Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz 13 points 4 months ago (2 children)

You're posting from lemmy.ml but talking about lemmygrad.ml

[–] Delta_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 4 months ago

Oh, the .ml shorthand confused me between the two!

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 months ago

Yes that's the whole source of confusion

[–] shinysquirrel@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

that's mean

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 16 points 4 months ago

Aww poor baby

[–] MicrondeMMMMMMM@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

What's going on?

[–] HottieAutie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nothing much. I'm just chilling for next 20 mins. What's up with you?

[–] Liz@midwest.social 5 points 4 months ago

Eating some yogurt

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 7 points 4 months ago

nothing out of the ordinary lol

[–] Grayox@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

Lol
