Come one come all to the Lemmy-verse! It's nice and cozy here, we do have some "bad parts of town" but you can do an instance block and not deal with them lol
For your memes we have [email protected] if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like [email protected] and [email protected] and for a meme science combo theres always the fantastic [email protected]
You can also drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or hang out at [email protected] (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)
There's much more around as well!
Obligatory, fuck Spez
Can we just defederate and be done with it?
Why do you need your admins to block .ml? If you don't like what you see, that sounds like a you problem, not a us problem. Since you need your hands held through this process, I have made this easy guide on how to do it yourself.
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.
They ought to pin this comment lol. They won't stop with the complaint posts though, since what they actually want is for nobody to encounter spaces like ours.
Centrists will find some new instance, designate it the "tankie instance" and repeat the process.
Honestly I kind of want .world to defederate just to see which instance becomes the new tankie instance.
We are actually defederated from 2 of them on World, but Lemmy.ml is also the community run by Lemmy code contributors so a lot of people are hesitant to let it go.
It's got my vote, though, fuck em.
Brilliant. The coders are tankies. That explains alot
Please enlighten us, vagueposter, what does it explain?
yes a decentralized federated community is very aligned with tankies totally
Maybe someday, .world is 2/3rds of the way there!
