    Honestly… yeah.

    Hexbear is a no brainer to block but ml was very much “fine” with a high tolerance for tankie idiots. But it feels like the hexbears figure out they are all blocked and are now just moving to ml en masse.

    Sucks because there are actually some good users on there. But I just can’t with the swarm of righteous stupidity.

          My favorite are the couple openly trans people who consistently simp for regimes that would gladly disappear them.

            I know how easy it is to both be trans and also be put into a cult-like mindset at the same time (guilty of this myself), but come on! These consiquences are deadly.

            Assuming they actually are and aren’t just playing an openly trans character.

        The Holodomor was a myth. As if a socialist regime would intentionally starve millions of people!

        Disclaimer: famines can and do happen under capitalism, even intentionally (e.g. Ireland) but at least there’s no widespread denialism like you see when they occur under ostensibly socialist regimes. And if they are acknowledged, then the debate switches to whether or not the country is truly socialist, or somehow this is still capitalism’s fault.

      .ml mods are so socialist that they even see all the swear words as equal

      What’s the point in even involving a report, then? Why not just auto flag any post with a bad word or just block it from being posted in the first place?

      Not saying any of that is a good idea, just following that logic a bit. Censoring words is fucking useless IMO.

    Looking at the lemmy.cafe blocked instance list makes me pretty happy. Probably going to make an alt over there as well for when I need a breath of fresh air.

    Definitely happy to see Hexbear on that list.

      .ml has gotten more obviously tankie as lemmygrad and hexabear became more defederated. Asshole imperialists don’t simply want to have their own spaces, but the have the biggest spaces be their spaces. They want to convert normies and suppress those that disagree.

          That’s exactly why imperialists should never be welcomed, no matter how benign they pretend to be. Concessions won’t stop an enemy that seeks absolute victory.

        The hexbear admin is on the record saying they primarily care about information warfare in their interactions with the broader fediverse

      Maybe because it’s posted to a community on an instance different than OP’s? I wonder if they can see your comment

      Looking at the federated/defederated instances on lemmy.cafe linked higher up in this thread, it looks like lemmy.cafe is defederated from lemmy.ml, but I imagine it is not the other way around.

      You can see OP’s content but they can’t see your comment, basically.

          generically speaking yes i might encourage you to find a way to insult people without trivializing the experiences and loss of those suffering from the disease and their loved ones.

          in the specific case where it is a descriptive metaphor and not an insult, e.g. “multiplies like cancer,” that’s probably fine. but if you’re using it as an insult, i for one will not come to your defense.

            The Dutch are in shambles lmao

            But I’m not sure how it trivializes it. Using it as an indicator of a bad thing is meant to indicate how much that thing sucks. You’re calling things cancer because how much cancer sucks

                  by all means continue to defend your right to an assholic behavior to those who have politely informed you how that behavior is hurtful

    Yeah they just banned me and censored my post the other day fighting back against disinformation being pushed by a Keffals minion. Then, to show just how much I pissed them off, they also banned me from every community on lemmy.ml I’ve ever voted in.

    I’m about to petition my instance to defederate.

      i checked out the logs and no comment except to say that misgendering two trans women probably did not help your case.

      i don’t know anything else about this situation so please don’t try to bring any of that conversation here.
