On our own instance no less lmao

Before joining Lemmy: “It really doesn’t matter what instance you join, you’ll be able to see content from all over.”
After joining Lemmy: “So you’ve enlisted in .world, eh? Welcome to the fight, soldier!”
Well, my 1st matrix account was on the kiwifarms’ server. Nope, I didn’t know tf kiwifarms was at the time, I just liked the name
What was it?
A 4ch-like board with a rather intolerant user base
They’re not nice people.
.ml vs .world fights are always hilarious. And for that reason, they should stay federated.
I’m on lemmy.ml and most of the communities I interact with are on lemmy.world. Most people are normal about it.
I started on .ml and had the same experience.
The only reason I quit is because the 0.19 update finally made TOTP not suck ass, I decided to activate it on my account, I had a skill issue with my digital keyring that caused me to lose my secret, and my session cookie in my Lemmy app eventually expired. Didn’t sign up with an email either so no account recovery was in the cards.
Generally, I don’t think most people bother to read the instance suffixes on usernames at all unless the comment is somehow inflammatory. I sure don’t.

If they ever defederated, it would be incredibly disruptive since certain communities exist mostly on one or the other.
These instances wars really prove that people attack other people because of any difference they can find.
Sad!

Sorry for being late to the party, but did you know that you can just block them? Hope this helps!
I mean… it helps. I’ve seen less tankies after blocking .ml subs, but they’re still there
Welcome to a tutorial on how to block .ml on your personal account.
In the top right corner of the top of the page, there are 3 horizontal white bars. Click it.
This will open up a drop down menu. At the bottom of that menu, you will see your username. Click it.
This will open another drop down menu with 3 options. Click “Settings”.
At the top of your screen you will see 2 tabs. Click the one that says “Blocks”.
Here you will see “Block user” “Block community” and “Block instance”. Click the down arrow below “Block instance”.
This will open up a search bar. Type “lemmy.ml” and click it after it shows up.
That’s it! You’ve blocked .ml and will never see content from the instance. Now you don’t need to make a feud post every day complaining about .ml and other instances you disapprove of. Think of all the time you will save!
But wait, we aren’t done yet in this menu. Click the down arrow under “Block user”. Now type “UltraGiGaGigantic” Make sure you select my .ml account as the other ones I no longer use. Thanks, appreciate it.
“Please block me so I can continue posting slop unopposed”
Because people change their minds on the Internet
It’s much more fun to remove their ability to troll entirely, though. It makes them squirm.
I’ve seen more complaining about ml than the actual things they’re complaining about. It’s pointless infighting among an otherwise like minded community. Even hexbear doesn’t deserve it.
Calm down. Have a hot chocolate and enjoy the season and masturbate thinking about linux to distract from societal collapse like the rest of us.
I’ve been banned from the entire .ml instnce and all its communities for daring to talk about the uyghur genocide.
Yes, we need to defederate now.

Oh great, now we have genocide-deniers here.
That right here is why we should defederate.
Also curious how all the comments replying to me are less than one day old 🤔🤔
Could it be an astroturfing campaign by lemmy.ml users? 🤔🤔🤔
Removed by mod
Whataboutism and moving the goalpoast to distract from yourself. Typical.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies
Go Astroturf somewhere else.
And just to piss you both off:
Fuck the CCP for their human rights abuses and systematic eradication of the Uyghur population’s culture.
Fuck Netanyahu for doing the same thing to the Palestinians whilst also bombing hospitals, raping women, and slaughtering children.
Fuck Russia for violating Ukraine’s sovereignty and breaking the security guarantee they signed.
And finally, fuck the US for being a hypocrite demanding decolonisation whilst also building up a global military presence and electing the orange turd twice!
…and fuck Europe for drowning refugees in the Mediterranean on purpose while buying Russian shit with blood money, crossing their fingers behind their backs when pledging support.
Edit: Am no tacky tanky but felt the list was missing my region (which I still prefer over any other place in the world… my little bubble of relative safety, social systems and cool weather)… it still sucks we have fascists and Russian shills in our governments.

I think it sucks ass (in a bad way) that mods can remove comments in a way that makes it way too difficult for me to see those comments. Like in this case I would very much like some context to this discussion.
Should lemmy instead default to hiding them, and then crazy bastards like me can select to view them?
Weird, I can see the comment just fine. It just has a trash can next to it. Using the Sync for Lemmy app.
Oh, I guess it’s a client-side issue? Good to know.

Is only genocide if ICC OK…

Freshly created account, less than a day old.
Totally couldn’t be an astroturfing acoount, could it??
But to answer you question:
If they are allowed their own instance with genocide, why shouldn’t we be allowed one without genocide?
Removed by mod
Not wanting uyghurs to be genocided because of their religion = cringy bullcrap?
Really?
Just block and move on instead of trying to sway oppinions with fake-accounts.
Or better yet: you can support defederation. Then you won’t see any of our anti-genocide posts ever again!

I’ve been banned from a number of ml instances for saying that communism isn’t that great actually

Same single .world user making all these posts.
Duly noted. Blocking this one along with the other serial whiners.
Nice Ad Hominem you got there.
Doesn’t change a thing though.
So? It’s the same .ml users complaining.
Wasn’t there a post earlier about this exact thing lol. Can you lot make a community for whinging about something you have control over? That would be great for all.
What would ya’ll do without each other though?
Well, federation temporarily broke between .world and .ml for a bit a couple months ago and it was actually pretty nice. It was a turning point for me I think, up till that point the .ml issue was somewhat passive. Then they were just gone for a few days and it was kinda nice lmao
Have time for less controversial posts? Maybe a bit more positive things?
Ah yes, but you do not fear .ml, you only bring it up all the time and demand it be blocked for everyone on .world because…? You can just block it yourself, putting it in spongebob case doesn’t make that point invalid.
Man all i did was just chose an instance…
Yeah unfortunately it is one of the flagship instances and also is run by a transphobe and a guy who thinks Stalin did nothing wrong who will ban you for any opinion slightly deviating from the hivemind he’s created. Really sucks, because a lot of people don’t know this until they already made their acct and by the time they learn about it the sunk cost fallacy takes over because they “don’t want to lose their comments” by moving to a more neutral instance.
It’s by design of course, either the new conscripts relent and join their ranks or just go along to get along, or they don’t and they get banned while reinforcing .ml’s victim complex they so desperately cling to.
Any instance I can use next with S or A tier federation network and thats similar to .ml bit minus the bs? I liked this one cus it seems they were into Foss and stuff like that
Programming.dev might be worth a look for FOSS. Also db0 has been very good to me since I left .ml when db0 started up.

You mad bro?
How many feud posts does this make this week? 2? 3? Maybe you should post one more this weekend, as a treat for yourself and all your hard work.
That said, defederate away. People should choose their own path through life. Who the hell would want to tell other people how to use lemmy or how to run their own instance? Well, except you for some weird reason…
Lol, I make my “feud” posts on my home instance in my home instance communities. You’d have a point if I went to your home instance and started posting there.
You’re the ones acting entitled if anything trying to tell people what posts they should or shouldn’t make on their own home instance LMAO
If my posts were not at least moderately welcome by my community it would be, at best, ignored or more likely downvoted to hell
Wait I get it now, you guys are Lemmy imperialists!

I like being able to see news not dictated by Western media which somehow all turn out to be controlled by Israel.
