      my brother in christ, I was banned from all lemmy.ml communities (fairphone, signal, selfhosted etc etc) because I dared talk about the uyghur genocide.

      Lemmy is even worse.

        Lemmy.ml is one instance.

        Join smaller instances so no one instance can dominate on many topics.

        We should avoid creating monopolies.

          That’s a right of passage on fedi, kinda like getting banned on new and politics subs on .world for discussions on dead parasite or israli Jews committing genocide in gaza

          Lemmy.ml has the monopoly on certain topics. Such as signal. The biggest alternatove is on kbin with 130 members (opposed to 1.4k on ml)

          It’s not just lemmy.ml… That’s the problem with any instance - that an idiot like me can just host one and be “the king”. Then a community grows, but the king still sits on the throne - whether he is qualified or not. Reddit had years to get rid of most of those issues with established modteams. Communities that had bad moderation faded away. Communities that “made it” had okayish mods since there were thousands of people to pressure a team acting like a-holes. Lemmy has barely any users compared to that, so a bad admin / moderator is more visible. Also, lemmy is heavily skewed towards echochambers, even more than reddit was.

          Splitting communities just creates more issues - with having to crosspost to 2 or 3 groups of people who might not interact with one another. It’s honestly no wonder that there exists a “mega instance” in lemmy.world

            !lotrmemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com is taking over !lotrmemes@midwest.social

            It mostly took a post on !newcommunities@lemmy.world and a ping to the regular posters

              Provided everyone sees it and moves there and not just stops seeing the content altogether and forgets about it. Remember, social media is like 95% lurkers. Also this assumes you are moving instances instead of there being two already that have different people watching them / moderating them.

          Except I’m back to spending most of my time on Reddit again because the communities I most care about just so happen to be home on lemmy.ml

          Only on mobile I still use lemmy because of the API disaster

            There’s a movement to move most lemmy.ml-specific communities off of that instance and onto other instances, I’d recommend looking around for alternative communities to the ones you used before. A lot of people are tired of ml’s shitty moderation policies and overcentralization.

              Yeah, but it just isn’t there yet. Look at !signal@lemmy.ml

              Iz’s a de-facto monopoly and there’s nothing we can do.

        .ml admins (yeah, the lemmy devs themselves, sadly) and mods are tankies, of course they banned you for that.

        Just join a sane, smaller instance; that’s the beauty of federation (and defederation of harmful instances like .ml or .world or hexbear).

          The problem is that for some instances there’s no alternative to lemmy.ml

          Signal for example has no federated alternative

          But I am open to a moderated, defederated, sane inatance if you know any.

            LemmyNSFW seems fine to me, if you’re OK with downvotes being disabled, and I’m pretty certain .ml defederated it because ooh, porn!; db0 also seems reasonable, and if I’m not mistaken both .ml and .world defederated it because ooh, piracy!.

            And most of the smaller ones seem to be fine too.

            Or just roll your own, that was always allowed.

                Ah, maybe they refederated them, then, or maybe I’m misremembering (though I’m pretty certain there was some drama about this a while back… maybe they just block specific communities…?)

          Understandable. Adding it was kind of a knee-jerk reaction after seeing someone unironically refer to hamas as “freedom fighters” and now it stays to show people not everyone shares their opinion on gaza. It can feel like An echo-chamber in here.

          By no means do I think Netanyahus modus operandi is appropriate for this century, that’s not what I carry this flag for.

            Umm nah please don’t do that.

            Israel (as in the state, not the civillians living under them) is practially doing the same thing as what Hamas is doing, terrorism. Both are terrible groups. I don’t know which one is the worse one, but if someone claims one of them is “freedom fighters”, supporting their opposition isn’t helping whatever your argument might be.

              I strongly disagree with you on that. Israel has a right to self defense. While the means might not be adequately / appropriately humane, saying they’re the same is like saying thw US are the same as the Nazis for bombing Dresden.

              One is the aggressor, the other is not. We can gladly diacuss the means (again, fuck metanyahu and his seemingly complete disregard fpr human life) but that doesn’t change the fact tht one side wanted a war and the other was forced into it.

              Plus the fact that wiping out Hamas will create an opportunity for lasting peace between Israel and Palestine (whether united or split into gaza and westjordanland) while not wiping it out will just make history repeat (or rhime) itself in a few years/decade(s)

              Netanyahu should be sent to Den-Haag, but Hamas needs to be wiped out anyways.

                isreal was very fair to the Palestinian population prior to hamas. a real out-of-left field move. no one could have seen et coming. not even a leader on the verge of being ousted.

              As I said back then:

      Eh, as a former Reddit mod, when the majority of comments are racism/transphobia, the easiest way to handle it is to lock the post.

      Yeah, it’s kinda laziness, but when you have a life and don’t want to babysit a post for the next day… you don’t really have many options.

    Don’t get so haughty. Lemmy.world (based on the Netherlands) deletes posts and bans users that mention support for Luigi.

    Earlier today I replied to a post on Lemmy.world about this problem, saw my post had many up votes and replied. But I couldn’t respond to any of them because the post had been deleted by mods.

              There are two sides to the coin, just as you can chose which instances to use, they’re free to run their instance how they like, which is how it should be in my opinion. I think it’s a bit strong to call it censorship; it’s their website, their servers, and if enough people don’t like it they can just not post there. This is the same freedom we had with old-style forums, because there was no monopoly in many cases you could select a forum based on if you liked how it was run.

              You’re right, they have moderation control over lemmy.world posts, but it’s still your decision to post there. If you feel that strongly about it you can even chose an instance that doesn’t federate with lemmy.world, they exist.

              You’ll have to sign up for a new account, yes, but is that a big loss? I mean there’s no karma here, your existing posts and account won’t go away, it’ll just not be the main account you log into any more. I personally think it’s not a bad idea to have accounts on a few instances, I’ve moved around through several.

              You can’t transfer (to the best of my knowledge), so you just start a new name on a different instance. I used to be on .world but hopped to Blåhaj for various reasons. When I want to reduce my internet drama for a bit, I block .world temporarily. It’s great.

            Murder? Such strong language. Is CEO killing really murder? If someone has so thoroughly surrendered their humanity as Brian Robert Thompson did, are they really human anymore? You can only commit murder against humans. I think of Thompson more akin to a cloth sack filled with bloody dollar bills than an actual human being. Ethically, what Luigi did is like collapsing a cardboard box or treating mold on a bathroom tile. Technically a destructive act, but hardly murder. There’s no need to use such inflammatory language to describe the disassembly of an inanimate object.

                Obviously duhumanizing someone due to their race, religion, sexual characteristics, or other immutable properties is wrong. But we’re talking about someone who Damned themselves entirely through their own actions. No one took Thompson’s humanity from him; he threw it away willingly.

                Make no mistake. When Thompson hit the pavement that cold morning, he did not stop falling. His soul tried to rise up to the clouds, but he could not. Looking down, his ghost found a shackle tied to his ankle. Bound in fetters to a pile of gold, an otherworldly representation of his own wealth and greed. As his spirit tried desperately to soar upwards, instead he sunk down, down, and down, the ground rising up above him like a diver beneath the surface of the ocean. And he did not stop falling until his soul reached the Pit of Hell itself.

                Such is the fate of all men who take the lives of others for their greed. In the end, they all Burn.

      Same reason they nerfed the algorithm to change from having new posts on the front page every ~15 minutes, to keeping the same posts there all day long.

            Frankly, if you really want extra safety on a fastener without going as far as threadlocker, use a shouldered fastener or a Nylock nut.

            The case sparked national debate, with some hailing Penny as a hero for attempting to subdue a man he considered a menace to public safety and others seeing him as a white vigilante who choked a Black man to death.

            Some New Yorkers protested the trial outcome this week, holding signs and chanting Jordan Neely’s name in a Manhattan square.

            Penny has been hailed a hero by many, but Neely’s death also divided the city as residents grapple with how to respond to mental health crises threatening public safety.

            Do you people not read the shit you reference? Also, if you take this as an example and direct comparison, does that mean you think the murder of this guy was also justified? Does that mean you like the orange fascist?

                That’s some prime cherry picking. lmao Just ignore the outcry and the consequence of your statement behind it. Alright, I guess we just go around and murder everyone who we want to now. Seems like that’s what you all want.

                  These aren’t mutually exclusive.

                  Alright, I guess we just go around and murder everyone who we want to now.

                  Our western judicial system is helping to define a group of people for whom it is acceptable to murder and a group for whom it is not. If you want to kill a vagrant on a subway, you’re likely going to get away without serious consequences. If you kill a CEO, probably not.

          OBL was responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people. Brian Thompson was responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people.
