    I blocked ML instance pretty quickly on my account. Heavy handed but probably for the best

      Honestly I prefer hexbear of lemmyml. I can’t say I agree with the people on hexbear but they do seem to be decently civil as of late.

        Too many people blocked hexbear so they made alt troll accts on .ml to continue being complete dickheads to everyone who doesn’t want them around, since their existence is entirely centered around evangelical style proselytizing of their views, mainly to feed their persecution complex, and that requires an unwilling audience. They still have their Hexbear accts I’m sure, but they’ll be maining the troll accts because they need their supply.

          They should try attaching a tube from their asshole to their nose, then, so they can get high on their own supply.

    I recently made the decision to unsubscribe from the vast majority of ML communities I was in. They’ve been getting a lot more obnoxious as of late, both in terms of the normal users as well as the mods getting more heavy-handed.

    Honestly, I recommend everybody consider it for themselves, as well. If you have communities hosted on ML, it might be a good idea to start migrating elsewhere, because I see them quickly becoming defederated from a lot of instances soon with the way they’re progressing.

      That’s right on schedule. There is a toxic mob that struggles to exist together (because they alienate themselves every time in a matter of weeks). They started on Reddit, originally collecting in chapostraphouse and got their community banned and each subsequent iteration has seen the same fate.

      Then the fediverse was born and they began to self host. Now they couldn’t be banned. There was lemmygrad, then hexbear and .ml. Checkmate, right?

      When more serious and honest hosts saw the pattern many enabled instance-blocking so we could eliminate the source as end users.

      Most genuine folks I interact with have blocked lemmygrad and hexbear. The toxic cloud of chuds knows this and have been moving into .ml sublemmy and dispersing into smaller and smaller communities to evade being blocked by users.

      It’s all quite interesting and funny if I’m being honest.

      I wish I had a sociology degree, I’d publish so many fkn papers.

      Same. I’m “boycotting” lemmy.ml if you will. Not contributing a single, comment, upvote, or subsciber count, to posts and communities on an instance that supports Russian and Chinese imperialism.

    What did you do, have an unapproved opinion? Did you refuse to bow down to the DEI masters? Are you not willing to treatfediverse people as delicate children? Did you prove someone’s statement is false with references and verified documents?

      I supported the banning of Russians on the Linux kernel. I also pointed out that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was unprovoked and unjustified.

      Somehow I don’t think they liked my opinion. I’ve had my fill of Lemmy.ml and I’m trying to move off of it completely. It appears I’m not totally banned from Lemmy.ml but that probably will change in a heartbeat.

        Ah yeah I engaged in that discussion as well. Only got a comment deleted though. lemmy.ml gets wilder and wilder, they are openly tolerating support for Russias invasion of Ukraine at this point.

        It’s a good thing to get banned there I guess.

        By all means, support it. It will be good for the Russian government, as well as motivate awareness of geopolitical concerns among programmers. 🤠 Just like the sanctions, you NATOids are too arrogant to notice you’re helping the Kremlin and pushing them to the east.

        As I said, banned for unapproved opinion.

        I do not support Ukraine because of being the most corrupt country, at the very least in Europe. I’ve also heard various people say they need to defend to protect the global banking system. Watch videos of citizens in Ukraine, nobody is getting a part of the $150 billion, it’s goijg into people bank accounrs.

        If possible, I want Russia to lose and Ukraine to lose. It is a tyrannical gangster at war with mass corruption. Evil vs evil.

          Ukraine certainly was one of the most corrupt nations in Europe. Pre-pandemic its CPI score was 30, placing it between Bolivia and Myanmar.

          Russia scored 28 (ie, worse). So I’m not sure what outcome you expect from Ukraine losing. I’m also interested to hear if you think countries like Mexico, Nigeria or Cambodia, also below Ukraine in the ranking, are “evil” and don’t deserve statehood.

            It’s better for the Ukrainian people that they be their own national state and not a satellite state. But I am not willing to trust Ukraine with any outside resources and gullibly believe they won’t be stolen from the people, like the billions of dollars being dumped on Ukrain, the people are still hungary and the soldiers don’t have weapons. Somone from outside has to clean up the Ukranian government in order to function for the private citizen.

            I feel the same way about Haiti. The people need a mass amount of help, but any donations, whether food or money, is not staying in Haiti, so people have to go to Haiti to help, sending money will not make its way to help anyone.

            And yes, I do think Mexican givernment is evil, Nigarian government is evil, but I’m all good with the people. Also, the American government is evil as well.

          Ukraine isn’t the corrupt county you think it is. Even if it was, that hardly justifies an invasion.

          Let’s be honest the real reason Putin invaded Ukraine is because he wanted a Russia controlled buffer between mainland Russia and the west.

            What could possibly have led him to decide thats what would be best for the ruling class of his country? Did he or other members of the Russian government never express this sentiment? If they did, what were their reasons, and regardless of what those reasons were, why wasn’t enough done about them?

            Are all questions you should think about and look into maybe

              Putin reneged on the 2014 agreement HE made with Ukraine in an effort to steal land and eliminate dissidents.

              Get fucked with any spin you’re trying to put on it. Putin is dishonest, he is a short, little man with no honor. Only cowards with no backbone can defend that shitbag. Go on with whataboutisms of the west, I’m also openly hostile to those leaders 🤷

              You’re a hypocrite.
