Your mistake is not having lemmy.ml blocked
How? I keep seeing hexbear comments even though I blocked the entire instance

How can I block instances on Lemmy?
The app I use had the ability, I imagine you could do it through your user profile on the web as well.
I use voyager for iOS so if you fall into that bucket I’ll happily help.
I’m currently on Voyager as well but I can’t really seem to find it.
Settings -> filters and blocks -> scroll down to
instance blocksand add it there.But of course only block the entire instance of your own free will my dude, you will of course lose access to “content”
Thanks a lot! I just blocked .ml and hexbear since I’m kinda sick of seeing their bs.

Well I was thinking this might have been a but over the top and then I see this: https://lemmy.ml/post/19820595
Could have been a response to my post lol.
Yes, it 100% is. And the mind blowing thing is it just seems to reinforce your meme. Its like a self own but they really lean into it.
The thing is, unlike lemmy.ml users, I don’t ban anyone or block the instance.
I could block the instance, but it is more damaging to create a bubble than counter their BS if it pops up.
Yeah, I don’t block anyone. I do want to hear many views but I can’t get into another poorly made usa centric argument with another .ml user and remain sane.
I will still see the odd .ml post and go, neat but most of the time its the same old hexbear light sort of stuff. At this point my policy is more look but don’t touch.
Since blocking .ml, I’ve not accidentally contributed to things there. As a result, I haven’t had any hate in my inbox since. Just nice, respectful interactions and discussions.
Ooooh I’m about to stuff that inbox FULL of hate!
I love .ml and it’s where I go when I’m in the right mood. Maybe it’s not for everyone, but I say meet .ml halfway.
Right you are, I am almost complete opposite end of political compass from .ml but still end up having interesting discussions and finding commonalities. To me .world is where the echo chamber dwelling momos live.
Lemmy could really do with the ability to transfer an account to a new instance. The only reason I’m still on lemmy.world is because I can’t be bothered to set up an account on another instance that may be as insufferable.
As for communities, Lemmy just isn’t large enough to be picky. World is the biggest instance, but is still dead on anything that’s not either a Reddit clone or a popular community.
There is an export feature that will spit out a json file and you can import it to a new instance. It will carry over your subbed communities and blocked accounts. I use it to sync accounts on different instances (My instance can be slow sometimes)
I genuinely have no idea what this is. I just came here for the cat memes. There are very few cat memes here.
Be the change you want to see in the world!
Related to several other replies: Why are you people looking at political discussions on the internet? Isn’t that quite depressing? I am subscribed to basically every popular community across instances excluding anything with the words “politics” and “news” in it’s name.
And I think some of you should try not subscribing to any news or politics as well, no matter your ideology. I’m starting to get concerned for some of the people on this platform.
Recently changed from Lemmy.today to Lemmy.world because all the CCP communities like Hexbear blocked me so I can’t downvote and tell them off for promoting actual propaganda and misinformation.
Hexbear doesn’t even have down votes, you were doing nothing
I can influence the feeds they show up in by downvoting.
Normalise criticizing both the West and China/Russia for their shit.
Don’t make it your identity to defend horrible shit, anywhere.
Past or Present
Banned.
This, but unironically is ml experience
Confirmed! I was banned last week from the privacy ml sub for commenting
something along the lines offound exact comment from modlog which states ban was for violating rule 2 = “Be respectful” (i.e. anything the mods disagree with).Nothing. OP is a tankie / Russian PsyOps operative. If you care about a Russian billionaire who’s surveillance capitalism platform refuses to even acknowledge requests to remove criminals, you deserve to live under the boot of Russia’s authoritarian Kleptocracy. Save your energy for the **_actual_** wars on encryption and privacy that western plutocrats and capitalism are waging under the lie of Freedom™️.
I would argue the tankie instances/subs/users are actually Russian operatives, instead of CCP — same as it always is/was on Reddit.
Literally
Normalise criticizing both the West and China/Russia
But you still have to admit that the West is better. Otherwise you’re doing a Whataboutism
Yes! Communism is rampant on there! Not that I’m against it, but they will mass downvote anyone who asks a question that’s against their views. Anyone else?
Isn’t that the basic political community/subreddit experience? If you go to truth social, I don’t think you’re gonna get many likes
Echo chambers, hmmmm
lemmy.world users when lemmy.ml user don’t immediately suck up to political propaganda
There’s a reason why having both world news communities from both instances is a good thing. You’ll receive a much wider range of sources and bias, as well as the perspective of people who don’t completely agree with you.
Staying within on instance community creates an echo chamber like reddit. There’s even such a wild difference within lemmy.world between c/Politics and c/News, despite them often posting similar news and info.
You’ll receive a much wider range of sources and bias, as well as the perspective of people who don’t completely agree with you.
That’s why I often interact with Truth Social /s
The biggest differences seems to be .ml Russia and China are never wrong and Israel drinks the blood of Palestinian children. On .world Israel is just bad, and China and Russia have problems.
They are both generally left. I wouldn’t call that unbiased
Being non-right is a level of bias I think the world can live with.
Yes, unless you are the mbfc site
normally i would be inclined to agree with you, but when we’re talking about people who “believe” that the left is more of a fascist threat than the political right in the US, i don’t think that should be a valid held opinion currently.
And unfortunately lemmy.ml is getting more online traffic recently.
Is it? It looks pretty stable to me. Conversely, world, lemm.ee and shitjustworks are all experiencing slight but noticeable growth.
I’m subbed to a handful of communities in .ml and it’s not that bad. I consider myself communist, but not of the tankie flavor. Authoritarianism is never a good thing.
If people don’t like those views, they shouldn’t wade in unless they’re willing to have a grounded conversation and not just drop a played out one-liner. I think the most recent uptick in complaints about .ml are because of how often it criticizes liberalism.
Lemmy instances are essentially forums. If I go to a conservative community and tell them all that Marx was right all along, I’m not gonna be surprised when I get banned. Complaining about mods is a tale as old as time itself.
I got banned there for stating an opinion and at that point I don’t really know what to do anymore. You have a handful of people who spout their one sided talking points into the void (probably) and if anyone says anything, they get banned.
They can have their bubble there but aren’t bubbles the fundamental problem of social media?
So they do nothing about broader and fundamental problems of social media which they should do as alternative social media platform.
Try saying anything negative of Putin/Russia (apparently also China/Xi) and you’ll see how pro-authoritarian and heavily censored their threads are. I know because that’s what got me banned from the privacy ml sub last week!
Edit: found exact comment from modlog which states ban was for violating rule 2 = “Be respectful” (i.e. anything the mods disagree with).

They literally censor comments even in non political Communities.
Lemmy.ml is just a Propaganda-Machine.
I’m the type that will leave views up so the conversation can happen, unless the comment is racist, homophobic, blatantly trolling, etc. I’ve read the Lemmy.ml rules and they’re pretty rudimentary, so idk what some of their mods are doing.
Yeah lets ban discussion too eh.
That’s how I see .ml because you have to be in the cult and not question anything or get banned.
The alternatives are that you find other servers to post on, or you go back to corporate-controlled websites (which would honestly be silly with the amount of Lemmy instances that exist now). So if you commonly find yourself at odds with the subject matter, you can post elsewhere. I’m sure there’s some conservative/other flavor Lemmy communities out there that function the same way. That’s the beauty of the open internet, but it also means people can ban you for whatever reasons they want and there are no repercussions.
So you wade in at your own risk, which you’re doing either way because there is no strict corporate structure overseeing the rules. It doesn’t mean that every decision people running those sites make is suddenly good, but you at least have freedom of choice when it comes to what servers and communities fit for you. Just like instance runners like myself can also decide which servers to federate with, while blocking others.

Angry because you don’t want to see content from Lemmy.ml

Angry because they don’t want to see your content either
:-/
Didn’t say that, like at all.
