What is the real joke is categorizing people by which Lemmy instance they sign up to, and justifying it with a weak truism that “people self select for communities”. I believe it is utterly stupid, and t can also be motivated. In Lemmy.ml I have met some of the brighter minds of our generation.
In all good faith, I am an anarchist who found ml randomly from some Privacy/Open Source searches. I signed up because I thought it was cool to be admitted in the flagship instance and I liked the anti-bigotry guidelines. Then I found out about all the drama, and I have zero fucks to give about inter-instance beefs. ML let’s me be, and I had no serious issues so far, I mostly like the crowd there, coming from Reddit even more so.
This is moronic, and I shouldn’t validate it with an answer. There are tons of trans users in ml and I hardly think any of them holds any favourable views on him.
I won’t validate your line of questioning my personal beliefs, since there is no way of winning this. It is dishonest and weaselly. Nor will I tolerate the various associations and insinuations behind your question, which have my ml membership as a starting point.
I have nothing to prove to you. My post history is right there for everyone to see, and it is also a recommended reading for normies. Tell me if you find sth there. Do that for a significant sample of ml users and present your data, if you want to prove a hypothesis they are pro-Putin or pro-China.
You people beating on the dead horse of “lemmy flagship instance bad commies” is sickening really.
I will not consent to you putting me on the spot as some kind of ml specimen, nor I want to stand out and say “I am different”. I already stated, I am an anarchist doing just fine in ml, and I have my own questions about defederation and why this instance tribalism is going on.
Yet you guys keep responding to me as “that ml user”. This is unacceptable. This is the type of trolling that you accuse “some” instances of, and this shows that there is something fishy about this whole ordeal.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you personally. I just poked fun at the hypocrisy of .ml. I hate having to fight Russian propaganda from both the far right and the far left. It’s exhausting.
Here’s the thing though, you’ll be unable to convince us that .ml aren’t stupid shitheads because we’re here too, we see them too, we talk to them too and share in the experience just like you do, some (like me) going on 3y+ now. You can’t fool us because we experience it firsthand, you can only succeed in convincing us that you don’t see the problem because you’re one of “the problem.”
I always aspired to be a problem. But see you have no justification for this statement. You are just lumping together everyone who shares a lemmy.ml address without an iota of data other than your personal impressions. This is just plain lamentable.
Having said that, I hold extreme views right enough, since I don’t think there is such a thing as a middle ground to fascism. Do you see my 100% no-pasaran as a problem? And if yes, how low are you willing to stoop before setting your priorities right?
It started as a meme but this ml-hatred is a conspiracy cult at this point. I have no interest in defending no Stalinist or whatever, but I will not succumb to this false logic of judging people for signing up to the flagship instance, home to major Linux, Open Source, and Privacy communities.
In fact, I think spooks and trolls spreading disinformation under privacy and anonymity questions is a greater problem than the spectre of the bad ml/grad/hexbear user. Now, you folks are adamant that the instance someone signed-up for, often blithely, can accurately judge their character.
This is superficial and moronic and you only come up with ad hominem responses for me pointing out that your logic is abysmal. Plus, it might really hurt to admit you are wrong, since shitting on the flagship instance seems to be an unhealthy obsession for you people.
Ok buddy, have fun at your Nazbol bar, I’m not trying to stop you, you just can’t be surprised you get treated like one if you advertise their instance, it’s only natural. Again it’s not just “some users” there, it’s “most users including the mods and backed by the admins.”

I don’t categorize people from any other instance, but .ml is on a whole other level spreading their toxicity. It’s like a tankie factory.

Wait, what are your personal opinions of Putin?
This is moronic, and I shouldn’t validate it with an answer. There are tons of trans users in ml and I hardly think any of them holds any favourable views on him.
It’s okay to criticize him over here. You don’t need to be afraid.

To borrow a quote from Kolank in this very thread:
.ml is that T-shirt. I hope you get the help you need.
