Welcome ex-Redditors!

And if you ask people if they're pro-Putin and pro-Russia and against Russian crimes against humanity, you'll get banned faster than you can say "Синдром вахтёра"
Goes for Lemmy.ml and some reason Midwest.social as well.
If you go on there concern trolling and trying to start shit, I bet you will get banned.
But, fun fact, communists actually are not a fan of fascists.

I'm still not banned and I have been critical of both nations. Everybody Sucks Here
General sentiment doesn't matter. It's when you, for example, point out that [email protected] is a Russian disinformation agent. He is literally Russian, he's cleaned up his profiles now, but when I started looking into that account I found several alts on other instances with communication in Russian. Like there wasn't even a hint of suspicion if he was Russian or not.
But [email protected] account adamantly insists that they are American "born and bred", while still literally saying Putin is right to invade Ukraine, denying Uyghyr genocide, denying Russian war crimes, posted tons in the run up to the US presidential election about "don't vote genocide joe" and all that "avoid voting no matter what" bullshit as an intentional push to instigate apathy in American voters to decrease voter turnout.
Him, antioutsideaktion, it's rather trivial to recognise them.
And the simplest way is to ask them "are you pro-Russian". Davel is afraid of answering it, despite clearly and vocally supporting Russian propaganda, even going so far as to literally say "reality has a well known Russian propaganda bias". I mean, literally.
And after saying that, he still won't say he's Russian. And pretends to be American? What a patriot, right?
He's a mod so he banned me from everywhere he could. Nowadays he doesn't really even dare to participate on lemmy.world so I don't engage him.
"Look at me, look at me. I am the moderator now."

does that have profile pictures and stuff? I use Voyager and feel like I'm missing the full Lemmy experience
It does, yes. Display pics and display names.

I didn't.
I simply pointed out that [email protected] saying things like "reality has a well known Russian propaganda bias" would be extremely weird for an actual "red blooded, born&bred American", which he claims to be.
So he just as an American patriot learned to speak Russian and won't answer the question of "are you pro-Russian" while actively pushing Russian propaganda?

Fun fact, both are totalitarian authoritarianist forms as OF now.
We'll check again about communism when we get to Star Trek levels of utopia, mkay?

i generally lean ML, but both of these are stateless to me? isnt this really about horizontal vs hierarchical power?
If we are to agree with Engels, Communes (or cooperatives) consist entirely of Petite Bourgeoisie, unless there is no interaction outside said commune. Trade between communes implies each commune wishing to get more out of the trade, which implies differences in material wealth in communes that can then escalate into Capitalism. It isn't what we think of as a State, but some form of armed millitia must be maintained to enshrine ownership within a commune, and not outside it, ergo a state enforcing class distinctions.
Really, though, I think the term "stateless" brings ideological baggage rather than logical. What's important is the structures themselves, not how we wish to label them. Conversations around "true" Communism or whatnot inevitably fall into ideological debate based in idealism, rather than a logical analysis of material conditions.

It's not authoritarian bootlicking if the boot has been painted red!
Everybody Sucks Here

I'm jealous, I keep seeing them everywhere. As for the blocking, I've tried to block .ml several times but for some reason it hasn't worked. -_-
Please see my guide posted earlier in this comment section. I hope you can block us soon. Me too, thanks.

I actually prefer appless. Straight web.

RAWDOGG!
It also works better with instances with unique emojis like Hexbear.
-
Anyone who disagrees with their narratives is banned in hexbear. Ml was the default for a while so loads of people on there who have no idea what a tankie even is.
Dude, I got banned from hexbear also. Who cares? Let them run their instance the way they want. Instances are digital communes and should reflect the values of the members who are a part of it.
Not every instance is going to be for everyone. This is a good thing.

.ml is a cesspool
Block it then

I did twice. Just let go of the past. Embrace the future.

also, why the fuck would we want more redditors here
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame."Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" -
As far as I'm aware, you'll have to move to another instance if you want to see slurs that badly.
Your tone is unexpected, did I offend you somehow? How?

I'm a Finnish person with detailed understanding of Russia.
We literally fought Nazis and Russia, both.
I constantly criticise the US for it's growing fascism. I also heavily criticise my own country for its authoritarian tendencies. See unlike you, I don't have a preferred flavour when it comes to injustice. I'm disgusted by it all.
So your attempt at generalising is really ironic here. You are literally doing what you blame "others" for doing "treating it like team sports". But you can't accept a single criticism of Russia. And would NEVER admit to the WELL DOCUMENTED war crimes they've pulled during their ILLEGAL INVASION of a sovereign country with some ridiculous excuse of "we are invading them to save them from Nazism and install our dear leader".
"ideology of Russiaphobia"
First of, it's "russophobia". Secondly, no, pointing out facts about Russia, like their endless amount of war crimes isn't any sort of discrimination, вахтера.
I’ve not defended Russia once. I’m attacking Nazis, and you’ve taken extreme offense to it.

No, it's not how a platform should be run and I will continue pushing for better solutions and then using them.
The design is inherently limiting and stupid. You will just end up in the exact same situation as Reddit where a large percent of the discussion can be blocked at the will of some moron.

didn't realize that reddit actually did me a favour by giving me the boot. lemmy is way better

You're basically saying that anyone who criticises Russian war crimes is a Nazi. And then when I ignore your childish "he's a Nazi" bullshit, you say that's evidence I'm a nazi.
You can't control your projection.
I know you won't answer this, but I'm gonna do it so that other's see too; do you accept that Russia has committed loads of documented crimes against humanity in their illegal invasion of a sovereign country?
If you're actually "attacking Nazism", then you know we fight nazism, because it's fascism. We fight fascism because cruel totalitarian regimes shouldn't exist and everyone should be able to live safely and have their human rights respected. If that is so, then you must oppose the Russian government, as it's clearly a totalitarian regime with a despotic leader. So, do you oppose Putin and his government's endless crimes against humanity?
Prohibited weapons.
Abduction and deportation.

Why do you need your admins to block .ml? If you don't like what you see, that sounds like a you problem, not a us problem. Since you need your hands held through this process, I have made this easy guide on how to do it yourself.
Welcome to a tutorial on how to block .ml on your personal account.
In the top right corner of the top of the page, there are 3 horizontal white bars. Click it.
This will open up a drop down menu. At the bottom of that menu, you will see your username. Click it.
This will open another drop down menu with 3 options. Click "Settings".
At the top of your screen you will see 2 tabs. Click the one that says "Blocks".
Here you will see "Block user" "Block community" and "Block instance". Click the down arrow below "Block instance".
This will open up a search bar. Type "lemmy.ml" and click it after it shows up.
That's it! You've blocked .ml and will never see content from the instance. Now you don't need to make a feud post every day complaining about .ml and other instances you disapprove of. Think of all the time you will save!
But wait, we aren't done yet in this menu. Click the down arrow under "Block user". Now type "UltraGiGaGigantic" Make sure you select my .ml account as the other ones I no longer use. Thanks, appreciate it.
They ought to pin this comment lol. They won't stop with the complaint posts though, since what they actually want is for nobody to encounter spaces like ours.
