Accounts are cheap!

Same and I’d migrate if I knew a way to transfer my subbed communities

(There’s a way to do this… right?)

[–] gigachad 15 points 2 weeks ago

Yes you can export/import those as a JSON somewhere in the settings I think

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

exporting your settings does it

Dared create an account on an instance administered by controversial people, to say the least.

Personally, I couldn't care less about the user names. Ad hominems are worthless, even if certain servers have certain tendencies. At the end of the day, only the substance of the argument, and whether it passes critical thought, matters. Information isn't truth. Information is worthless.

While I think the meme’s a bit far, if I see a .ml talking about how great China is, I’m going to just glaze over whatever they’re saying.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Someone had too much Honey.

What were they supposed to have, maple instead? Yeah, I see you over there with your .ca instance. *squints suspiciously*

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

I’m drunk on maple right now don’t trust me..hiccup.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

While that is a valid point, you will be on the back foot as far as making a point goes due to the actions of other people on your instance.

I dug this account out just to comment. It was one of the biggest instances during the migration, and I am a leftist. Not a tankie though, I made a new account pretty quickly.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The tankies talk all about how they’re against imperialism when the US and Israel do it but apparently it is okay for Russia to invade to Ukraine and for China to invade Taiwan.

[–] RIPandTERROR 4 points 2 weeks ago

Perhaps it's not okay for US & Israel, Russia, or China to invade other countries and they should all just chill the fuck out for a bit so we can fix our shit.

Takes a hit

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You've now been banned from .ml

[–] ohellidk 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

you have now been freed from .ml!

I'm out of the loop, can someone explain the joke?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Lemmy.ml has a reputation for really bad takes, and the mods and admins ban people for not supporting the admins' favorite genocides.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I see, that makes more sense. Thanks for the explanation!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I assumed so, since this meme format usually is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I know it should but no idea what. Seems more like just op mad

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah I just skip comments if I see they're from Lemmy.ml.

I hate that instance.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That instance got blocked on my end and unfortunately Vegantheoryclub.org has similar issues.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I haven't actually seen any comments from that instance, I wonder if ee federates with them?

Given how that instance got started, it doesn't surprise me they have some extreme views.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They’re one of the smaller ones at 77 users and they’re federated with lemm.ee.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm guessing they also don't interact all that much outside their instance, too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

They tend to hang around vegan spaces.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

oh i'm sure the comments on this post will be real civil

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I wish you could block out all the ml users from commenting or replying to your stuff when you block the instance.

I also wish more instances defederated from them but maybe the admins are scared it would discourage the developers from continuing the project.

On the virtue that the username's instance doesn't matter? Sure.

I doubt that is the aim of the meme's take though.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 weeks ago

You can block the instance because their mods are dick heads and their users sometimes say things you disagree with, or you can keep trying to splinter Lemmy, one is more productive than the other.
