Edit: Seems like the Mod-Logs are public, so it’s not ‚secretly‘. My preferred mobile app doesn’t show this and for me the post just disappeared from my history.
Anyway, the breach of rule I allegedly did is obviously an excuse to block inconvenient opinions as it’s not at all related.
Lol.
.ml is basically the /r/The_Donald or /r/Conservative of Lemmy. Not because they’re conservatives or support Donald Trump, but because they behave the same way. The vast majority of .ml users come off as preteen edgelords who think they know everything and constantly attempt to get others to start some revolution that they want to take place but are too cowardly to initiate themselves. If you don’t fall in line and agree with their extremist views, your comments are removed and you will likely be banned from their instance.
Many of them take anti-voting stances. Many of them want an anarchist system to replace democracy. They are extremely annoying and extremely ignorant. Obviously not ALL .ml users are like this, but so many of them are that the entire instance has earned a negative reputation on Lemmy. I was on Lemmy for all of a month before I found out for myself what the deal with .ml was. And it’s only gotten worse since then, especially leading up to this year’s election.
You should probably do what more and more of us are doing and ignore their comments and block their instance. It makes Lemmy a lot nicer to use.
FYI: This year I’ve noticed the dbzer0 instance trending in the same direction as .ml, so I’d keep an eye on their users as well.
Such an innocent take. .ml is a Chinese propaganda outlet masquerading as a far left American group.
Who said that we’re an “American group?” Some of our users (such as myself) are from the US, but we have people from all over the world.
But, I mean, it is true that the only possible reason anyone in the world would have for hating the US is if they’re on the payroll of the Chinese government, so I guess you’ve got us there.
Criticism of the United States is not why people point out that
.mlis a propaganda instance. Repeating chinese and russian propaganda is.Does dbzer0 also “repeat Chinese and Russian propaganda,” or are people lobbing the same accusations at them because they’re also critical of the US?
