Then you didn’t look hard enough, whenever .world comes up it’s always we’re some flavor of a CIA front, US military front, or reddit-lite
They don’t often call for defederation because doing so would cut off a huge chunk of content

Westerners are easy to agitate because they live relatively cushy lives. I am not saying just because someone isn’t living in extreme poverty, they should be grateful. I am saying consider who is agitating you and why. More often than not, they just want to be the ones to control you, and hate that someone else is doing it instead. They don’t want what’s best for you.
Before joining Lemmy: “It really doesn’t matter what instance you join, you’ll be able to see content from all over.”
After joining Lemmy: “So you’ve enlisted in .world, eh? Welcome to the fight, soldier!”
Well, my 1st matrix account was on the kiwifarms’ server. Nope, I didn’t know tf kiwifarms was at the time, I just liked the name
.ml vs .world fights are always hilarious. And for that reason, they should stay federated.
I’m on lemmy.ml and most of the communities I interact with are on lemmy.world. Most people are normal about it.
If they ever defederated, it would be incredibly disruptive since certain communities exist mostly on one or the other.
these memes are always so tortured, the reason I comment in these threads is because it’s funny content and routinely the actual reasons people are mad at .ml is getting banned/censored for being bigoted
the actual reasons people are mad at .ml is getting banned/censored for being bigoted
Where’s my bigotry? As of yesterday I was banned from a ton of .ml communities for “Troll” despite not having posted a single comment or post anywhere in .ml for a long time now.
In fact lots of people are banned for “Troll” or other “catch-all” rules for the audacity of bringing up things like the Uyghur genocide that China is doing or that Russia attacked a country unprovoked and wholly unjustified or even the fact that China is, in fact, Authoritarian
ETA, oh and here I was banned from technology for R1 “Bigotry”, wheres the bigotry in bringing up China being authoritarian?

I got banned from a few .ml communities because they started circlejerking about how great the taliban is and I dared to point out that they’re shitty and evil xD
Removed by mod
Well they’re 0.01% less bad than ISIS, so that clearly means we have to “critically support” (unconditionally fellate) the taliban

Wasn’t there a post earlier about this exact thing lol. Can you lot make a community for whinging about something you have control over? That would be great for all.
Man all i did was just chose an instance…
I’ve seen more complaining about ml than the actual things they’re complaining about. It’s pointless infighting among an otherwise like minded community. Even hexbear doesn’t deserve it.
Calm down. Have a hot chocolate and enjoy the season and masturbate thinking about linux to distract from societal collapse like the rest of us.
I’ve been banned from the entire .ml instnce and all its communities for daring to talk about the uyghur genocide.
Yes, we need to defederate now.

I think it sucks ass (in a bad way) that mods can remove comments in a way that makes it way too difficult for me to see those comments. Like in this case I would very much like some context to this discussion.
Should lemmy instead default to hiding them, and then crazy bastards like me can select to view them?
Removed by mod
Weird, I can see the comment just fine. It just has a trash can next to it. Using the Sync for Lemmy app.
Oh, I guess it’s a client-side issue? Good to know.
Oh great, now we have genocide-deniers here.
That right here is why we should defederate.
Also curious how all the comments replying to me are less than one day old 🤔🤔
Could it be an astroturfing campaign by lemmy.ml users? 🤔🤔🤔
Removed by mod
Whataboutism and moving the goalpoast to distract from yourself. Typical.

Go Astroturf somewhere else.

And just to piss you both off:
Fuck the CCP for their human rights abuses and systematic eradication of the Uyghur population’s culture.
Fuck Netanyahu for doing the same thing to the Palestinians whilst also bombing hospitals, raping women, and slaughtering children.
Fuck Russia for violating Ukraine’s sovereignty and breaking the security guarantee they signed.
And finally, fuck the US for being a hypocrite demanding decolonisation whilst also building up a global military presence and electing the orange turd twice!

Is only genocide if ICC OK…

Freshly created account, less than a day old.
Totally couldn’t be an astroturfing acoount, could it??
But to answer you question:
If they are allowed their own instance with genocide, why shouldn’t we be allowed one without genocide?
Removed by mod
Not wanting uyghurs to be genocided because of their religion = cringy bullcrap?
Really?
Just block and move on instead of trying to sway oppinions with fake-accounts.
Or better yet: you can support defederation. Then you won’t see any of our anti-genocide posts ever again!

I’ve been banned from a number of ml instances for saying that communism isn’t that great actually

What would ya’ll do without each other though?
Well, federation temporarily broke between .world and .ml for a bit a couple months ago and it was actually pretty nice. It was a turning point for me I think, up till that point the .ml issue was somewhat passive. Then they were just gone for a few days and it was kinda nice lmao

Sorry for being late to the party, but did you know that you can just block them? Hope this helps!
It’s much more fun to remove their ability to troll entirely, though. It makes them squirm.
I mean… it helps. I’ve seen less tankies after blocking .ml subs, but they’re still there
Welcome to a tutorial on how to block .ml on your personal account.
In the top right corner of the top of the page, there are 3 horizontal white bars. Click it.
This will open up a drop down menu. At the bottom of that menu, you will see your username. Click it.
This will open another drop down menu with 3 options. Click “Settings”.
At the top of your screen you will see 2 tabs. Click the one that says “Blocks”.
Here you will see “Block user” “Block community” and “Block instance”. Click the down arrow below “Block instance”.
This will open up a search bar. Type “lemmy.ml” and click it after it shows up.
That’s it! You’ve blocked .ml and will never see content from the instance. Now you don’t need to make a feud post every day complaining about .ml and other instances you disapprove of. Think of all the time you will save!
But wait, we aren’t done yet in this menu. Click the down arrow under “Block user”. Now type “UltraGiGaGigantic” Make sure you select my .ml account as the other ones I no longer use. Thanks, appreciate it.
“Please block me so I can continue posting slop unopposed”
Because people change their minds on the Internet
These instances wars really prove that people attack other people because of any difference they can find.
Sad!
