I don't know. What's the problem with lemmy.ml?
Any part of any discussion that verges into criticizing Russia or China gets removed by either mods or passing site admins.
Any comment that is anti-the-West gets a pass no matter how uncivil, inflamatory or dishonest it is.
Why? What's so different between lemmy.world and lemmy.ml (idk what the ml is for)
Different site admins.
Depending on which mods you allow, which sitewide rules you set, and not least how you applu or not apply the rules, you get wildly different instances.
This only happens on [email protected]
A few others also. Like memes. https://lemmy.world/post/19190223
Ah ok, fair enough. I've only had problems with the world news mods so far, but makes sense that some of the other mods can be bad too.
It happens across the whole instance, it’s an admin level problem. My favorite is when you say something critical of the site admins, Russia, or China and get not only the comment removed, and not just banned from that community, but any other community the particular user moderates
Imagine being that petty- someone disagrees with your chosen political stance, so you go community by community and ban them from every one to protect your fee fees.
Think I’m blowing smoke? See for yourself.
Tankie detected.
??? Explain
Minimizing the pervasiveness and impact of shitty tankie behavior is shitty tankie behavior.
I'm just pointing out the nuance. Broad brush doesn't help anyone. If you automatically assume everyone from lemmy.ml is a tankie, even though it's one of the largest instances, and the original Lemmy instance, then you're doing yourself and all the more moderate users on lemmy.ml a disservice.
I'm very much not minimizing the shittiness of [email protected].
"That only happens..." is minimizing no matter how you slice it. Insinuating that I said everyone on .ml is a tankie is also dishonest.
Mostly militant tankie mods in [email protected]. The rest of the instance is fine actually; Their admins aren't as zealous.
The admins are actually pretty chill. They leave the moderation to the mods. That can be really good or really bad.
It is decently well know that they are communist. They don't go around forcing there views on others though. I respect them for that.
Yeah, that's what I mean, the admins aren't forcing their ideas on people, it's just the mods.
It's full of originally stupidly pro-communist, now joined by the stupidly anti-communist people. Most of their discussions are "communism good you dumb" and "communism bad you dumb", with a bunch of kindergarten level gotchas.
Exhibit A
ok, i got it
