This is pure misinformation/propaganda that won’t be removed, I’d bet money on it. Join the boycott of lemmy.ml today! No posts, comments or upvotes on the .ml instance comms!

      Excellent! Lol just FYI though for you and anyone else who see, instance blocks should be more thought of as a mute rather than an actual block, .ml users can still see your posts and comments and interact with them (i.e. downvote brigade, talk shit) you just won’t be able to see it

      If you want to have a bit of fun and get an instance block that actually works you should try speed running a site ban LMAO

        This has always been my go-to strategy for exactly that reason.

        Blocking .ml:

        • Cowardly
        • Lets them continue to talk shit on any of your comments that they want, you just can’t see it
        • You have to do the work

        Letting .ml block you for not adhering to the narrative:

        • Fun until they block you (for certain definitions of “fun” I guess)
        • Stops them talking shit on any of your comments
        • They have to do the work
        • Quiet sense of victory (“I’m doing my part!”)

        I am actually not blocked from .ml that I know of, although my server is defederated from Hexbear.

          I was…for 2 months, for 2 glorious months I could post what I want without interference.

          Then one of my memes the other week must’ve got to davel because within like an hour of it being posted they un-site-banned me and then manually banned me from like only the top 10 or 15 comms lololol

        I am banned on [email protected] for criticizing a Venezuelan government news site, I said something like “this sounds like straight out of maduros ass” lol.

        It’s alright that I only block the communities, some ml user are decent / don’t know where they registered. However I see a decent portion of tankies spill over to the lemmy.world news communities…

          Yea, that’s one reason I don’t mute them myself, I try to steer those users away by showing them this comm. If you want to help, you need to give them this kind of link that routes through another instance because (the irony) they censor their users from seeing it: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
