I’m kind of okay with this. It was a reasonable take – not a hot take or an incendiary comment or something. Mods using their power to shut down discussion – expected on that instance I guess ;)

This is my first time getting any sort of ban on any lemmy instance. Now I just need to get banned on a right-wing server for some other centrist take, to keep balance in the universe ;)

How many of you have experienced this on lemmy.ml?

      There is a realistic scenario where Mali starts reclaiming domains who are using their TLD to mean Marxist-Leninist.

          Mali had a ten year period where they were allowing free registration. That doesn’t exist anymore.

          They also keep getting classified documents due to typos in army.mil email addresses and similar ;)

      Defederation shouldn’t be the first solution to problems with other instances. If they want to be overzealous and heavy handed with moderation on their site then they will lose users who want more fair and effective moderation. But if you defedate with them, then their users just get stuck on these echo chamber communities.

      Defederation should be a last resort to deal with poor moderation of abusive content, not moderation that we don’t agree with.

          I agree with your assessment on their political views. I also don’t mod any communities on Lemmy or run my own instance so I don’t have to worry about trying to deal with moderating the harmful political views of admin and mods with their other users’ contributions to the network. I am just stating my opinion of not throwing the baby out with the bath water by going with the nuclear option that is defederation.

          Thanks for the correction, really changes my whole point. I’m glad you caught it

        Ironic, then, that you picked an instance that picks Defederation as it’s first approach to problem solving.

        Not that you can see this, as I’m posting from one of the instances harmed by reckless defederation.

        I was never once contacted or given any chance to address whatever issue they had.

      Listen some of us made accounts on .ml when we had no idea what we were doing making a lemmy account, mkay

        Seconded. I joined .ml because they were the first to have a formula 1 community.

        I prefer to follow the news on other instances like beehaw and .world to avoid your experience.

        There are normal/non-radical communities that exist that would be lost via defederation.

      There are sometimes insightful perspectives there that could lack in other instances. I much prefer to have access to .ml and .world news in my feed as well as .ml users in .world threads. Given the 50 years of neoliberal, anti-worker programming we’ve been showered with in the West, I appreciate points of view that challenge it. I don’t not agree with the CCP schmoozing that goes on in .ml, but there’s also useful opinions on workers’ rights, democratic socialism, looking at problems from class perspective, etc.
