Welcome ex-Redditors!

In the past week I caught a 7 day ban for "misinformation" (x3, then for reposting a link to the mod logs, "skirting the rules", "repeated offenses" etc.) from /c/WorldNews for accusing Democrats of being complicit in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. An actual fact - tens of billions of dollars in arms sent to an ongoing genocide/ethnic cleansing by Biden. No problems like that on lemmy.ml. That really says it all for me.
By the way, Lemmy was created by Dessalines, the admin of lemmy.ml.

Try criticizing .ml on an .ml sub and you'll start to taste the authoritarianism
-
If someone's identity is based on hating tankies, then they're mostly likely right-wing (aka liberal).
Imma be honest, I don't think .ml belongs on there. Their users can be pretty cool.
-
I meant that one, my bad
-
If I were criticizing various nations more than the U.S., I wouldn't shame people for "authoritarian bootlicking". Glass houses and all that.
-
Again, despite claims to the contrary, tankie for most people means "anything left of the Democrats, or willingness to break with US foreign policy."

And critically, not just since Trump. As soon as the ink dried on the Nazi surrender, the US and OSS/CIA armed and funded every fascist they could find since fascists are the most dedicated anti-communists.

Welcome

Got my account and started reading and posting today, and you're right, they are nice people. I had somehow mixed up Beehaw and Hexbear in my head. Big mistake.
I may end up moving over there as primary just because I'm so tired of the trolls myself.

Yay, I'm glad you like it there! It's definitely more slow moving than the rest of Lemmy, but I like their weekly community chats and stuff. Also a killer gardening community.

Welcome! I am new too. Still getting adjusted to the federations and the "way" things are here.
-
Get the app: sync for Lemmy! It's amazing
-
Them not federating with another instance doesn't stop other instances seeing their content. It only stops their instance seeing the blocked instance's content.
-
Like that guy with the Buckies profile pic? lol I see him everywhere
-
I'd rather have the wild west of ideas over reddit. So I don't mind em
-
I mean you say that, but it's not like every community on .ml is focused on politics man. Their largest communities are mostly about tech. And they have a pretty cool, albeit somewhat inactive datahoarders community, of whom I think some are helping with redundant archival of datasets being erased by Trump's administration.
