    I thought the whole point of Lemmy was that it didn’t matter what instance you joined. Can I move my account, or do I need to make a new one on a new instance?

      You have to make a new one.

      I’ve been on .ml for half a year and it’s a good one. Not many defederations, so I can pick what instances i want to see and not have some faceless admin pick for me.

      If you really struggle with certain users who are passionate about certain topics, just block them. This is true for any instance. Don’t forget to block me to. Thanks.

      The reason it doesn’t matter is because they all interoperate, unless one of them is a problem and needs to be cut off. Yours isn’t the worse but some people do have a negative opinion of it. If anyone decides to de-federate you won’t be able to see posts from there but this probably doesn’t matter a whole lot unless the instance you are on is a total pariah

      So, the no matter what instance thing isn’t really true. Moderation is different per instance, mods can remove comments locally. Account migration is planned, but not there yet.

      Well it doesn’t, but that instance has a… reputation… So some people might have that entire instance blocked. You’d have to create a new account elsewhere to move over

        Every instance has a reputation. A lot of .ml posters think that .world posters are libs and crypto fascists(if they distinguish between the two). And some folks accuse feddit.nl users of being… Well… Dutch.

                  I actually became a mod of it and turned it into a satire of the conservatives comm because the actual few conservatives here abandoned it, that’s the only reason why you guys on Blahaj can even see it because Ada had it blocked on your instance for awhile lmao

                    using “jokes” to push conservatism is a common tactic of crypto-fascists as is warmongering shitposts like noncredibledefense or spreading 4chan greentexts, both of which are the top communities on SJW (intentionally chosen by the way) which combined with the transphobic admins creates a alt-right vibe on sh.itjust.works

                I’m a Marxist-Leninist, sure, whatever you want to call that. SJW is generally seen as right-wing for hosting some of the most pro-US and anti-communist communities, and having an admin that thinks China and Russia are pushing “gender politics” to radicalize western youths against the US. This is MAGA-tier conspiracy theory nonsense and undermines the real struggles faced by transgender people in order to push their own political agenda.

                You yourself essentially just stir up drama and repost content from Lemmy.ml, which is kinda silly. Same with trying to make “Tankie Triad” a thing, Marxists occupy far too much of your time for someone who presumably isn’t a Marxist.

                  Being a Tankie doesn’t mean just being a communist, being a tankie is defined as "authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof. "

                  You guys censor anybody who speaks against Russia/NK/or the CCP and it’s well documented. People catch 14 day bans for merely saying that Drump and NK dictators are “dumb” or saying “Fuck Russia” on a meme about Russia being pushed away from getting help from Trump by the French (iirc) PM (which also got removed) and it’s also hilarious your bring up the SJW admin when one of your own did the exact same thing.

                  SJW isn’t right-wing, that’s just what you say about everyone whose explicitly not a tankie

                  I could post ever more links about the .ml censorship problem but I think made my point

                  [email protected] if you want to see more evidence everyone

                  lemmy.world/c/[email protected] for those on .ml since .ml doesn’t want you to see it!

                    “Tankie” is a caricature. The idea of a tankie is the ideal vision of a McCarthyian Communist. In reality, the overwhelming majority of people labeled as such don’t actually fit that label, it’s more of a way to cast an image of someone’s positions based on, say, support for AES countries, and twist that into the evil Commie Pinko that haunts the dreams of 1960s children in the US.

                    Either way, Lemmy.ml has a higher standard when it comes to racism, ableism, homophobia, and other forms of chauvanism. Many people are critical of Russia, the DPRK, CPC, etc yet don’t get removed because they don’t break those rules. Moreover, I am not a representative of Lemmy.ml, I am no fan of Nutomic and have stated that before, transohobia is unacceptable no matter who does it.

                    As for MwoG, I have seen it, and I don’t really care for an anti-communist drama community polulated by stalkers, doxxers, and drama-baiters that take things out of context or fully stand by bigotry unironically (that’s where the transphobia from the SJW admin came from, you’ll notice).

      Yeah it doesn’t matter - don’t listen to drama fiends. .ml is fine. Lots of people decry it as being a tankie instance. The whole point of federation is you aren’t limited to the content on your instance - just by which instances yours is federated with.

      If people or your instance bother you, make another account. Otherwise, just ignore the haters

        It’s seriously getting old at this point. I’ve noticed there’s been an uptick in hostility towards lemmy.ml over the past year. I can only assume it’s related to the reddit migration. Unfortunately I only forsee it getting worse as more people migrate over.

          At a certain point it becomes harassment and should be moderated accordingly. Something that we’re going to need to do as we grow in order to be a functional social spaces that harassment needs to be something you get banned for because a lot of the negative experience people have on the corporate crap is because of widespread normalized harassment. If an instance isn’t so bad it gets defederated users probably shouldn’t be given shit for merely using it

            There’s a difference between support and pointing out blatant US propaganda. Like I said above, many people across the fediverse don’t get the nuance of being critical of US narratives does not equal supporting the regimes that are on the recieving end of that propaganda. If you really spent any amount of time on .ml you’d see there is plenty of criticism of Russia/China, just not to the extent where everyone unquestioningly takes any criticism by US sources at face value.

              Did you open the link at all? That user literally just said that Drump would be the dumbest president ever, even dumber than NK dictators and caught a 14 day ban from /c/memes for it. That is not ban worthy whatsoever, but on .ml it is for the sole reason of it speaks ill of NK.

              There’s plenty more on [email protected] but ironically .ml blocks you from seeing it, so you’ll need to use this roundabout link instead http://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
