Are we surprised the latest troll community (heckbear got defederated hardcore) wants people to troll?

You mad bro?
How many feud posts does this make this week? 2? 3?
Maybe you should post just one more this weekend, as a treat for yourself and all your hard work.
That said, defederate away. People should choose their own path through life. Who the hell would want to tell people how to use lemmy or how to run their own instance? Well, except you for some weird reason…
Lol, I make my “feud” posts on my home instance in my home instance communities. You’d have a point if I went to your home instance and started posting there.
You’re the ones acting entitled if anything trying to tell people what posts they should or shouldn’t make on their own home instance LMAO
If my posts were not at least moderately welcome by my community it would be, at best, ignored or more likely downvoted to hell
Wait I get it now, you guys are Lemmy imperialists!

You know that fella can’t read, right?
I’m pretty happy to be off .world and exposed to the slightly wider 'verse. The MLs and Hexbears aren’t all that bad. I’ve seen some absolute dogshit leftist takes from some of them, but I’ve seen plenty of dogshit “centrism” on .world too.
Ultimately, you just have to do some of your own blocking/moderating work, while trying to remember that only anarchists are always right and to be patient while everyone else catches up.
yeah .world has some weird vibes, I don’t think it’s exactly centrist but I don’t like how the vocal ones there seem to have a superiority complex against ml, hexbear and lemmygrad.
I don’t like many of the communities on these instances either but I don’t think that .world users should be the ones to hold the power and cry to the wider fediverse when we don’t do exactly what they do
the vocal ones there seem to have a superiority complex against ml, hexbear and lemmygrad.
Those vocal ones who tend to call ‘genocide denial’ and ‘genocide apologia’ have a track record of supporting Israel in Gaza or outright glorifying Imperial Japan and chinese warlords. They’re well aware of the absurdity, which is the point of their drive to enter leftist spaces.
The same folk tend to enter lgbtq and trans spaces to gatekeep definitions there–where they also get banned and then complain about it.

It was really uncanny how many of those power users were bent out of shape over trans people in trans spaces wanting to respect neo pronouns.
Hey, guys. So, I haven’t received any of my payouts from the CIA yet and I have pocket knives and stuff to buy, so… Is there like somebody in HR I can email about this or something?
You gotta sling them an email at: Shirlab@ucia.gov
They should be able to put you in touch with accounts.
Elgin air force base administrates most programs. You probably have to do basic training, but you may be able to work form home. Recruiters will promise that none of the fine print that enslaves you to mobile infantry role will ever be applied to you. After all, if we are successful in fighting humanity over here, we won’t need you to fight it in Ukraine or Russia or China, and citizenship requires service.
Mobile infantry, you say? My desire to know more has suddenly intensified.
Mobile infantry has made us the country we are today.

You can just talk to Jerry. He’s the guy in the grey sedan across your street. If you give him the code word, he’ll give you the package.
And if not, you can reach Garry inside your walls. He’ll file a complaint with the higher-ups.
It’s all funny but I thought it weird how .world deleted most pro Luigi posts that first week.
The News community did because it promoted violence or whatever their reason was, but there were tons of pro Luigi posts and comments in the memes communities that I don’t remember being deleted. It was not a .world wide thing.
Every comment I get from .ml is just weird and bad. I’m really at the point of blocking the whole instance.
I had to block them after trying not to. I originally thought, meh I’ll see what they have to say. That lasted less than a year. They think the word rice is racist.
The plural of anecdote is not data, but 90% of comments that I’ve seen defending russia in particular had been from .ml
That’s been my experience too, unfortunately.
I do see that
.mlhas lots of regular users too, but in addition, the tankies are almost exclusively there.Yeah, probability of being a tankie given .ml is not as high as some make it out to be, but probability of .ml given tankie is very high
The plural of anecdote is “in my experience”
Anecdata.
It worked wonders for me
It sounds frustrating. I’m sorry it has been that way.
One non hateful comment. Have a nice Weekend fella!
Though since everyone hates this instance I am thinking about moving to another.
There’s a lot of good options!
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.
Is this a shitpost?
emotional damage
Text you can hear.
It’s caused shit in the comments.

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

But that’s where all the funny shit is. The collective .ml take on most things is comedy gold!
Man all i did was just chose an instance…
Yeah unfortunately it is one of the flagship instances and also is run by a transphobe and a guy who thinks Stalin did nothing wrong who will ban you for any opinion slightly deviating from the hivemind he’s created. Really sucks, because a lot of people don’t know this until they already made their acct and by the time they learn about it the sunk cost fallacy takes over because they “don’t want to lose their comments” by moving to a more neutral instance.
It’s by design of course, either the new conscripts relent and join their ranks or just go along to get along, or they don’t and they get banned while reinforcing .ml’s victim complex they so desperately cling to.
Any instance I can use next with S or A tier federation network and thats similar to .ml bit minus the bs? I liked this one cus it seems they were into Foss and stuff like that
Programming.dev might be worth a look for FOSS. Also db0 has been very good to me since I left .ml when db0 started up.

Honestly it’s kinda sad how much people care about what instances other people are on, just because someone is on a certain instance that has some people who may have bad opinions and do certain things that aren’t right doesn’t mean everyone on that instance is to blame.
Secondly you obviously don’t hate the instance that much considering how much content you re upload from there, or are you just “getting your own back” because you think people on that instance shouldn’t be able to upload their content.
Thirdly the fediverse was designed to have multiple instances with multiple communities so trying to get other instances you specifically don’t like de-federated kinda goes against the point.
And finally you dislike .ml and there devs that much that you use a different instance on the platform they made. So going back to point 2 you obviously don’t hate them that much because you use the platform they made and also re upload content from that instance.
Why can’t people just enjoy the content lemmy has to offer instead of moaning about the few people that may have unsavoury opinions or views, the world is full of people with unsavoury opinions and views do you go out and look past all the good people or do you stress and care that much about the people who arnt so good?
Especially considering there are like twelve people on every instance combined
Verifiably false,
By raw user count, lemmy.world and even Lemmynsfw.com are individually bigger than .ml (no idea what’s up with that alien.top)
And by MAUs, .ml just barely makes the top 5
When I said every instance, I was including .ml.
But also I was being hyperbolic - you don’t have to prove that there are more than twelve Lemmy accounts
I think alien.top is a proxy for refit so those users are likely bot users that go in place of Reddit users
First, you didn’t pay attention to the meme at all, because if you had you would realize that I said .ml tankies specifically (or you did and then it’s kinda funny how you immediately thought I was talking about all .ml users)
Second, .ml is actively hurting Lemmy in the Fediverse now
Third, it’s mostly about the tankie “culture” (read pro-China, pro-Russia and even pro-NK misinformation and propaganda) that the devs, admins and mods encourage and enforce. You can’t even post anything negative, no matter how backed by facts or deserving it is, about China or Russia without getting some sort of ban. China IS an authoritarian dictatorship masquerading as fake communism.
Fourth, .ml admins and mods doesn’t want Lemmy to grow even at a healthy pace, if it’s not growing in the direction they want (e.g. a tankie echo chamber).
Fifth, I have no other major issues or concern with any other instance that hasn’t been already addressed (eg hexbear, lemmygrad)
Like a politician you avoided my main point about you re-uploading every post you see on .ml and the fact that you are using the platform that the admins of .ml (also the lemmy devs) created.
re-uploading is ok it’s part of social media but specifically targeting certain people is just sad it’s like you hate what they do on .ml but you’ll re upload their content.
And if you hate their ideas and views then why use their platform?
So sorry I didn’t address every single thing on your wall of text, here:
Like a politician you avoided my main point about you re-uploading every post you see on .ml
Cross-posting, using a built-in Lemmy feature I might add (not exactly hiding it lmao) to non-.ml communities as part of an ongoing effort to grow non-.ml communities. I don’t target anyone specific like you seem to say.
the fact that you are using the platform that the admins of .ml (also the lemmy devs) created.
And if you hate their ideas and views then why use their platform?
I’m a wholehearted believer in the idea of separating the art from the artist where its use and/or viewing does not financially support the artist with views I disagree with. In addition, I don’t have control over the underlying software in use on any given instance AND it’s the Fediverse, even if I was on say a piefed instance, the .ml instance and content would still be federated. Because ya know, the Fediverse.
And also, so you admit the admins and mods are Tankies then?
This picture above is a cross post
Yours isn’t a cross post it’s a save picture that’s been uploaded again
Nope, try again or check with your client dev
Edit: also, now who’s the politician? Choosing to focus on an entirely irrelevant point instead of addressing the actual problems lmao
So you’re just but hurt your unsourced propaganda gets banned?
How fucking fragile is your world view?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China
The PRC officially terms itself as a democracy, using terms such as “socialist consultative democracy”, and “whole-process people’s democracy”. However, the country is commonly described as an authoritarian one-party state and a dictatorship, with among the heaviest restrictions worldwide in many areas, most notably against freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, free formation of social organizations, freedom of religion and free access to the Internet. China has consistently been ranked amongst the lowest as an “authoritarian regime” by the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy Index, ranking at 148th out of 167 countries in 2023. Other sources suggest that terming China as “authoritarian” does not sufficiently account for the multiple consultation mechanisms that exist in Chinese government.
Or in other words, says one thing, but does another

Wikipedia is not a source , and your ‘source’ does not support your argument. It states some claim it’s not a democracy, mainly it’s military enemies who themselves claim to be a democracy, but less than 10% of the populace gets any power.
Can you freely criticize the government in China? Is the press in China free and independent? Do the Chinese people have free and open access to the Internet? Are you allowed to protest the government in China?
No, no, no and no. Sounds like it fits the definition of an authoritarian government, despite what said government “officially” says they are.
Lot of words typed for a person with nothing to say
I like being able to see news not dictated by Western media which somehow all turn out to be controlled by Israel.
