I’m so curious about those two downvotes

This is… this is really antisemitic… right? And Islamophobic…?

This is definitely some nazi shit

Guess ill be trying my hand at building my own pfsense router

Me too.

No matter how many Palestians get killed or schools and hospitals get bombed, when it finally stops, the US will parade around that brief moment of peace as some great, masterful example of diplomacy.

There will be no retribution or justice for the Palestinian people.

Actually I think it’s on the people who go to .ml specifically to make an ideological statement

That’s funny because I run into that regularly on .world but I’ve never thought ‘there must be a mod abusing their moderation right now’

Well I certainly agree it’s good to be aware of the expectations of that instance if you plan on participating there, but that doesn’t make their way of moderating their forum yours to judge.

But yea, it seems some people here who are complaining about being banned or having content removed could benefit from being more aware of the expectations of the forum their engaging with. I could have sworn I read you complaining about being banned for something I could have told you is likely to earn you a ban… Must’ve been someone else I guess.

This article was about what strategies and campaign messaging the opposition used to sway voters, and your takeaway from the article was ‘they voted’?

I’m not convinced you read it.

But this shit is precisely why I wanna have a good internet space for legit debate

Then create a political debate comm? What’s stopping you from doing that? I’d personally block that community immediately, because online debate bros have probably the least tolerable kind of online behavior. Thinking you can walk into someone else’s community and start ‘political debate’ is probably why you can’t understand their moderation - if I was the mod I’d ban you too

I’m familiar with linkerbann, I like seeing him around

why does it matter if you think it’s normal? it’s not your instance

It’s only a failure of moderation from your outside perspective, I’m sure people inside .ml might feel differently

though please don’t take that metaphor any further, comparing Lenin to Jesus is not the intent

Lmao

In my experience, “just asking questions” is never just asking questions, but I suppose that’s me presuming guilt

I’ve asked plenty of questions there and have never had a run in with their mods. I have to assume the question was insulting or disingenuous, or both.

But hey you can always make an account elsewhere and try again under better circumstances

I don’t know that privacy and security are mutually exclusive to communism

You can simultaneously be in both chambers, that’s the nice thing about federation

I think it’s healthy for people to be pushed into modulating their own behavior when in mixed company, I think it encourages a richer and more challenging experience. I wouldn’t waltz into my local catholic church and start complaining about their stance on gay marriage, and then get mad when they decide they don’t want me there anymore. If you want to participate in that community, you have to find a way to communicate with them without crossing that ideological threshold. And if you’re just too dissimilar to get along at all then by golly, maybe that community isn’t a great fit.

Why don’t .ml users retreat to hexbear or lemmygrad, if making the moderation practices on one of the largest instances fair is so odious?

lmao the gall of complaining about not being allowed to espouse your ideological opinion on their instance, and then suggesting they should be the ones to retreat to a different space.

For me personally, it wouldn’t be a big issue if .ml made its bend and moderation practices clear, because I could have avoided the headache when I was first using lemmy.

Well it seems like all those people are able to understand and live by those moderation practices just fine, maybe it’s a good thing that you’re not on .ml? Lemmy.ml has been happily existing as their own thing and their own rules, don’t you think it’s a little backwards that you’re suggesting they relinquish their community so that… what, everyone who’s not currently a part of .ml can move in? Is this a new form of digital colonialism I’m just not aware of?

If you really don’t like .ml then block them, or get your instance admins to de-federate, or, idk, maybe just know whose house you’re in when you’re engaging in arguments along ideological fault lines? They have a different opinion than you and don’t tolerate users who push that boundary, that doesn’t sound unreasonable when there are 600 or so other servers you could move to or start your own. If they haven’t banned you outright congratulations, you get another chance to participate.

IDK, I’ve somehow managed to avoid more than 1 or 2 comment removals on any of the instances (despite being infamous in .world for getting into it all the fucking time) over the last year, maybe it’s not a problem with their moderation but a problem with… dare I say it?.. you?

The entire point of federated social media is there isn’t centralized control: every instance is able to set their own rules and enforce them how they choose to. They don’t have to allow you to use their instance and you don’t have to allow them yours.

“I don’t like how they’re moderating me” - well good thing they built the platform so you can choose moderation that suits you better

Right, which is why pointing this out is especially silly

Anyone else seeing the irony of objecting to ml politics being discussed on a platform built by a ml for discussing and organizing around ml politics?
