i was legitimately confused why i was getting zero replies in very active threads. and yes this is just a whine post about how horribly opaque fediverse moderation is these days
rule 1? rule 2? fuck if I know what I said that broke those rules, here’s a ban that you don’t even get notified about. i probably said fuck too many times. that’s “not respectful”.
You probably said something mean about Daddy Marx, or pointed out one of the many flaws with communism.
They’re a sensitive lot.
Actually yeah. i’ll guarantee that was it. 14 days ago I was making fun of hexbear users defending russia’s war crimes in the memes /c/ of all places… which is weird that they defend it considering russia is very not-communist anymore.
still sucks since many of the largest communities around things like linux and tech are on .ml
Okay can someone please point me to a real, physical, existing example of this happening? I’ve got multiple accounts on multiple instances from when the servers I used were less stable and not once on any of them have I ever seen a single person defended Russia or China politically.
Not trying to be divisive it just comes up a lot and at this point feels like a red scare tactic
Ah, but it’s never happened to me, personally, so there’s no way that’s true!
That’s how you sound.
I had about 6 in my inbox at one time, but they’ve all been lost to the winds of fediverse moderation at this point.
A vast majority of instances have defederated from hexbear/lemmygrad/etc by now. So you dont see nearly as much of them outside of the main lemmy.ml communities, and those that do end up outside them ususally get moderated out by local admins.
If you really are curious. Take a scroll through some of the comments on hexbears “dunk tank” like so. See how long you can read before closing the tab out of disgust. Most of them are commenting completely unironically… (That thread is not Russia specific yes but I couldn’t stomach to scroll down that community any farther. It gives you an idea.)
I’m kinda not surprised the FOSS community would end up on a communist instance, I’m actually considering just blocking the entire .ML instance at this point.
I’m so sick of seeing them having a tantrum every time YouTube tries to make them either pay for the service, or watch ads.
I have a feeling it was more of “that was the biggest instance when we all got started here so we all just stayed here”. The prime-mover advantage for lemmy.world and lemmy.ml is pretty severe and it still shows in user counts/activity. It’s just gotten more obvious over time what lemmy.ml admins (and by extension the developers of the platform) really support.
That’s the Reddit way.
Shadowbanning you without any notification so you’re unaware as long as possible.
I was banned from the climate sub by the mod for disagreeing that humanity will survive the climate apocalypse. No message, just deleted comments.
Humanity will survive; society as we know it, or in any form higher than nomadic tribes, not so much.
Glad to know Reddit moderator behavior has carried over, it’s just like old times!
people really seem to have a boner for the apocalypse, from what i’ve seen the reality is that poor people will as always get shafted and most people in developed countries will be mostly fine albeit with a lot of change and maybe having to move if you live in a flooding-prone area.
It’s soo weird when you a lot of people have weird fantasies about the apocalypse. It gets downright terrifying when you start to mix in nationalism in it.
I hate to break it everyone, most of us are not going to survive the apocalypse. The only ones who are going to survive are the ones that I can survive and were lucky enough to be in the right place at the wrong time. It won’t matter that you have a bunker full of supplies, what the fuck are you going to do when your supplies run out? Or someone with a bigger gun comes? All that gold and crypto you bought for the apocalypse won’t mean shit.
Interesting take. I’ve always posited that the earth and nature will survive but I never included people in that. It’d probably be a reversion to nomadic and hunter/gatherer tribes to start. The question is would it take as long to rebuild? And would it follow the same path again?
You‘re not allowed to say anything bad about China or Russia over there. Got banned on a few communities too. The mods over there are pretty petty and enforce the „rules“ as they like.
For real now?
I dont want to have to search all the communities that I subscribed to again.
Does anybody know if there is an easy way to bring your subscribtions with you when opening an account on a new instance?
So a bunch of genocidal toddlers excommunicated you for telling them the truth.
That’s a win, friendo.
