Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.
I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.
Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.
You must log in or register to comment.
This community is not for complaining about bans or mod action on other instances.
Locked.
Lmao no in general but yes for lemmy!
Glad that the fediverse allows for mitigating this somewhat by design… but this has absolutely opened my eyes to the glaring flaws on the entire Lemmy platform as a whole.
Normally people block ml quite quickly after arriving. Within a month or two. Maybe you’re not yet aware that you can personally blacklist entire instances, not just communities and users.
Flaws? It’s a feature.
Getting a ban from lemmy.ml is a badge of honour that many like to collect.
I got my badge and I am honored.
How do we find out if we’ve been named from an instance?
Perhaps in their modlog?
Awww, only banned from the .ml asklemmy comm. I think I stumbled in there on accident when I sorted by all posts or something and didn’t realize which one it was.
Don’t worry, they also deleted anything I said to them so they don’t have to be burdened by ideas that aren’t in lockstep with a tragically idiotic reading of Marx.
Thanks for letting me know!
It’s the mirror version of getting banned from lemmy.world.
I mean, what do you expect from an explicitly (m)arxist-(l)eninist instance. Their entire religion is “west bad, russia and china literally the best” and censoring any wrongthink. And yet there you are implying Russia is behind a bad thing. Of course they’d take action against you.
Imo fediverse projects really need to federate instance rules. Just include them in the instance actor (if they aren’t already) like you’d do with a community, then use them if available.
Fwiw, one can be a Marxist Leninist and think Russia’s government sucks. It is anything but Marxist or Leninist.
I know you didn’t mean that, but figured it needed to be said.
Yeah, but the tankies still love them. It’s weird. Putin openly acknowledges he’s trying to rebuild imperial Russia, not the USSR, and still.
It’s weird, but they like him because he’s an opposition to the west. They like him because they hate the west.
Yeah but the libs still hate them. It’s weird. Trump openly acknowledges he’s invading iran, south america, africa, etc. and still.
honestly I think memorizing TLDs for Geoguessr a few years ago made me think Malaysia before i ever considered .ml to stand for marxist leninist lmao
It’s Mali’s TLD, they just like that it lines up with Marxist-Leninist
Fuck now you’re telling me I mixed up Malaysia and Mali?! Just put me out of misery now
put me out of misery now
nono, not .mi DUH
;-)
They expect the liberal, imperial norm where the entire religion is “russia bad, the west (aka white supremacy) is literally the best” and censoring any wrongthink…
Sounds about Lemmy.ml.
The other day some bOtH sIdEs ArE tHe SaMe shill commented and I pointed out lemmy.ml. More shills apparently showed up to downvote me 🤣
Yeah. They brigade. Well known phenomemon on that instance.
Their rules are on their front page.
Edit: OP said this:
this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.
I’m literally just responding to it. Thanks for the downvotes 🤡
Rule 1 aka you can’t point out the moderators overt bias or conjecture as to why their bias exists.
Strange that it doesn’t show for me when I check, must be a mobile issue of some kind.
Still laughable though, TIL it’s bigoted to suggest the #1 perpetrators of digital warfare are probably committing more digital warfare.
I know it’s a lost cause debating your ban, but looking at those rules I’d say the mods broke #2…
Open the sidebar, that’s where instance rules live, generally.
Yeah why are you getting dumped on??? Insane
Prior to the edit people probably thought they were trying to be snarky about the rules inatead of their intent to show the rules are displayed despite the OP not seeing them.
OP was clear about wondering if it was the app they were using.
This comment made no clarification whether they used the same app or got this from a browser.
Then closed with a clown emoji.
They were providing the rules the OP clearly said they couldn’t see in the app.
The clown was part of the edit and directed at the people downvoting them for providing the rules the OP couldn’t find and where they were located.
Gotta catch them all!
(welcome to the club of the trying to be helpful but misunderstood)
That’s because they’re actually propagandists for those authoritarian governments pretending to be communist. They’re about as communist as the Nazis were socialist.
True and the thing that I wish I could literally scream into every rightwinger in America’s face is that the same is true for our current pedophile in chief
what? The good folks at Lemmy.ml didn’t like you talking down about a dictator?
Wild!
Lol what’s especially frustrating is the fact that I didn’t even! Literally just made the broad assumption that it was of Russian origin.
It’s the digital equivalent of seeing a foreign bomber plane and being like hmm probably the US because we love bombing people. Like yeah you might be wrong… but you’re probably right depending in where you’re physically located!
The usa is the worlds largest arms dealer by a very long way, probably also the biggest spammers, and manipulators.
Russia is worse in every regard and their complete lack of government is quite literally the exact blueprint being used to fuel rightwing extremist media in just about every major country (but hell, they’re literally doing it in just about EVERY country).
They don’t have as many weapons, but who needs that when you can just install your own president over the Americans who pick to be couped?
Weird flex but okay.
I recommend joining an instance that blocks lemmy.ml
Cochrun_xyz wasn’t even the largest spammer. rabotaem_app was, and if you go there (I’d suggest not), it is a Russian language Lemmy site…
The site they were spamming for is based in China.
Rule 1 is the ml catchall. It’s often the giveaway for an ml hardliner modding another community on an alt account that isn’t ml.
YDI. Casual russophobia, imperial bootlicking, lazy liberal disinfo, etc. are not wanted by reasonable people.
Klik was Russian. Spam was Lithuanian, I think. We don’t talk about Spork at all. /s
Ну вы че ожидали? Они там то постоянно так поступают. Я предвижу что все у вас лучше станет немедленно.
I don’t know Cyrillic but assuming google translate got this translated right: I was honestly more shocked that they popped me so quick, if anything.
Usually, they at least try and put up a facade of freedom of speech. To get the psychological walls down and all that, you know?
Nah, that’s for people posting Russian disinformation from other instances. ML is fully just for people who want to luxuriate in it and not bother to pretend.
