I might get hate because of my instance here, but in an attempt to better understand Lemmy I’m wondering if some of you can shed a light on why you chose this instance, what’s great about it, what could be better, is the instance rivalries something that affects your use of the platform or is it just background noise?

I’m not trying to start a fight or mud slinging, it would be good if several people could say their piece and nobody shame or attack them for it no matter how much you disagree.

    So what I read from it is that .ml folks have a strict set of beliefs one must hold in order not to be crushed under the hateful mob.

    If one generally inclines with the set of views, but deviates at any given point, they become a valid target.

    This doesn’t breed healthy communities and alienates nearly everyone who dares to think for themselves, and yet could be your ally on anything else.

    That said, Free Palestine.

      If that’s what you read then there’s no point talking to you because you’re just ignoring what is actually being written in order to substitute your own bad faith strawman.

        Wow, .ml moderation at its finest.

        The user claimed they just told people to vote, for which the other .ml user answered to look at the modlog.

        Then this user asked to point out where exactly in the modlog can anyone read of him doing “genocide denial”. That’s all, no slurs or inappropriate behavior involved.

        Then comments got removed and they got a dose of slurs. Power trippin’ mods be power trippin’.

        Folks, people avoid .ml not because you’re communists. They avoid you because you resemble an angry mob shutting up anyone who remotely misaligns with your views. This thing is unhealthy and I really hope you can do better - after all, .ml is a developer instance, it is the face of Lemmy.

        I don’t care what folks on Lemmygrad do in their free time, but your instance is special. Make it so people coming would see more to Lemmy than stupid infighting on the grounds of ideological purity and “holier than thou” mentality. And maybe then, over time, you’ll gain new allies.

        Sincerely, yet another communist.

        Lol, by “follow your around” you mean “replied to you once in a thread that was on all”.

        genocide denial because I told him to vote,

        Unfortunately for you, your modlog is public

        that’s the kind of disconnect I’m talking about.

        Yeah, the disconnect where you lie and other people point it out.

        they’ll convince themselves that they’re right.

        Unlike you though, you’re just built different, right?
