Asking as there has been a few comments mentioning this with the new !stardewvalley@lemm.ee taking over !stardewvalley@lemmy.ml
!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for additional context on those recent events if you are interested
Also, an older post for more context on how lemmy.ml is managed: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417
Curious to hear other thoughts about this, as I’m trying to keep !simracing@lemmy.ml active, but might suggest to move it elsewhere if a lot of people prefer not to interact with lemmy.ml communities
Blocked instance… They can figure their stuff out without me because I don’t want anything to do with them.
How do you block an instance? Beehaw, lemmygrad, and world better watch out .
I’ve blocked the instance quite a while ago. In the beginning I was just blocking communities, but the users spill everywhere unless you go nuclear.
Thanks for this info, I didn’t realize you could block an entire instance.
You can’t really. I mean you can block an instance, but that only hides the communities that are on it - you’ll still see the users. The only way I know how to ditch the users, besides blocking each one individually, would be to make a new account on either dubvee.org or Lemmy.cafe where all 3 of the big 3 are completely defederated. Think of those instances as troll-blockers, working hard to keep the Fediverse pleasant to converse in:-).
Completely banned, I have zero interaction with them.

I would vote for moving it elsewhere. Maybe lemmy.zip would be a good instance that’s focused around tech and gaming. Or discuss.tchncs.de because !trucksim@discuss.tchncs.de and !diysimulators@discuss.tchncs.de are already hosted there.
You are a very active poster here, so moving it to that instance would also be convenient in case you need to mod
Also, that instance is very well managed, always impressed with the other services they offer.
Based on the comments, it seems like we should definitely suggest this. Would you like to make a meta post or do I do it?
I’m busy this weekend. Feel free to go ahead with the post.
Done!
Yes, except a few selected communities I completely avoid interacting with lemmy.ml
So that should be a “no” really :)
For me it’s a no, but looking at my subscribed communities, i don’t have all that many ml communities in there tbh.
The ones that i like best and that don’t have a better alternative elsewhere are !crows@lemmy.ml and !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml and i guess the ones about lemmy itself and jerboa.
The way they seem to be banning people is worrying to me, the ml users i generally don’t have a problem with, but i’m avoiding politics.
For me it’s FOSS og communities like !PeerTube@lemmy.ml or !librewolf@lemmy.ml that don’t have alternatives on other instances neither
And that’s completely understandable
Yep. To a certain extent I don’t care what your political views are, but if you’re always trolling and putting them up in my face. And have no integrity rules wise, I’m blocking.
Blocked the whole thing on my instance.
No, there are no instances whose communities I refuse to participate on. I have never blocked a community, user, or instance here.
Oh man I don’t know how I would use this place if I couldn’t block communities. First few weeks I try to use Lemmy every single post was just memes so I’d end up blocking like two dozen communities to stop it.
Not to mention just randomly scrolling in public and whoops, it’s a random porn clip brought to you by lemmynsfw
In your Settings is an option to ban all content labelled as NSFW regardless of its origin.
*Besides the ones your instance has defederated from
Me too but clearly Lemmy.ml doesn’t like me xD
yup, blocked that instance.
it’s controlled by one or a very small group of people, and none of the rules are followed.
They definitely dance to their own tune. And also require that you do as well. Oh and they do not tell you what that is.
Yes. I’ll read the content, but I try to avoid interacting.
Mind you, db0 himself is a tankie, although he doesn’t seem to insist on imposing that on the users or communities on his instance.
Db0 is more anarchist than tankie. Quite a few threads on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com complain about mod tripping from tankie mods or admins, they are still there. Shows that they don’t censor that topic, which is already an improvement
? @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Dafuq? I thinks that peep just uses “tankie” interchangeably with radical lefty or something. Ie they don’t know what they’re talking about
Removed by mod
They explicitly say they’re not and I’ve had a number of interactions that suggest otherwise. Where are you getting this idea from?
db0 is many things, but a tankie is not one of them
i tend to not even notice, usually picking a community by volume of subs and posting. its hard to keep up with the terrible modding in places as ive subbed to over 800 active communities in various instances. i dont block instances. at minimum, i want to see whats going on.
i dont recall specific issues with .ml but .world seems specifically egregious with its power trip modding, based on how ive been ‘reprimanded’… its amazing how they want to kill activity/enthusiasm in some subs that are desperate for content.
it feels like once an instance gets a solid level of user account churn, they feel they can do whatever to end users as there will just be more. its reddit all over again in places.
the power modding is somewhat shocking to me as the threadiverse really isnt all that large. i guess it doesnt take much for those people.
some of the only users ive silenced are mods
I agree that lemmy.world moderation has issues. It can be arbitrary and the written rules don’t really matter. There’s also zero recourse.
I would recommend sh.itjust.works
I would recommend sh.itjust.works
lol
I was banned from a large sub there because I downvoted some clickbaity posts by the mod themselves. Literally that, downvoting.
Feel free to report it on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Seems like this is a Lemmy wide problem then. Things like this are social problems, not technical ones.
What community was it if you don’t mind?
Quite frankly I’d rather not say it, I don’t want to start shit/drama.
A wise decision.
That instance got blocked from me a while ago together with Hexbear and Lemmygrad.
If you move sim racing, would you mind replying to me to let me know? I follow the current one just cause I think sim racing is neat. If it gets moved I’d love to follow the new one
(Totally fine if that’s too much work :)
We’ll probably post there so you should see it :)
Thanks!
Have a good one man! 😊
Personally, I don’t. I get from your story that you seem to have been abusively banned, and from the comments that it doesn’t seem like an isolate case. But while that might deter me from making an account there, or at most from having a community hosted there, it’s not like anything bad comes to me from merely interacting with .ml content. The only servers worth blocking in my opinion are those full of spammers, or of content I’d personally hate to see in any situation.
Interestingly enough, I don’t really have issues with lemmy.ml myself
I never brought up political topics on any of their communities, so I am fine until now
