Funny to see this come around every month or so when a new group of people come in and think "hey this is an interesting sub, let me joint this discussion!" and then come the questions.
In summary: don't go to hexbear, lemmygrad, and the .ml instances, they are silly places
I've actually been using lemmy for a while, I guess I've just been lucky enough to have never comment in one of these in all that time. But live and learn and good to know.
Just happened to me today (not for the first time) when I questioned somebody's idiotic meme with a post that just said "What is this slop?" which was apparently worthy of removal. Even mild criticism is not ok with them because their bubble is very, very thin.
It's fine, whenever it happens it reminds me to block the community and the author. I recommend you do something similar to make Lemmy a nicer place to be.
I know better than to engage with those... people. But sometimes I don't notice the domain on the community I'm reading from the All feed. Wish there was a way to just hide everything from those instances on my feed (without standing up my own instance).
Voyager provides the ability to block whole instances. Is that not default Lemmy functionality? I've been using the Voyager WPA since it was wefwef, so sometimes I forget what's native and what isn't.
Good question, maybe it's possible these days. I know it wasn't when I first joined. I'll do some digging!
At .ml? Oh boy. Did you say that Russia and China aren't communist utopias?
I made the bannable error apparently by making my first post there stating that Arab Americans for Trump, sorry for Peace, did shoulder some blame for the 2024 election, provided some stats showing that their efforts likely affect Michigan and that they would have to live with the consequences of their decisions.
.ml is awful, but you'll find a lot of those knee jerk purity types spread all over the lemmyverse.
Shit, I guess I really should avoid .ml then considering my own background on China.
If you don't want to be treated the way Stalinists treat dissenters, don't voluntarily put yourself in places where Stalinists set the rules.
