any ml instance is a blight.
Blocking an entire instance seemed extreme at first, but with the level of crazy in .ml I finally just ripped off that bandaid and did it. It remains the only one.
The fediverse has been a much better experience ever since!
I started with the yiff ones but you do you. My block list is pretty extensive.
named dream weasel
doesn’t like yiff
Something ain’t adding up.
I assume it’s your presumption that animal names means wanting to fuck animals that’s leading you astray.
Weasels are literally mother nature’s fleshlights.
You’re thinking of ferrets or sea cucumbers it seems like.
Ferrets are weasels.
You have successfully proven yourself not a furry with that error.
Conglatumations.
🎉
Those are communities, and yeah those were quick to be blocked for me as well. I’m talking about entire instances, which to my knowledge there aren’t any yiff ones - so far .ml is the only one that’s been so consistently bad that it’s actually worth throwing any trace of the baby out with the bath water.
You were right, one of those instances doesn’t exist anymore. I present to you my instance and keyword blocklist:
My community blocklist is to much to share.
Are yiff.it or yiffit.net not instances anymore? Maybe I’ve been here longer than I thought.
I haven’t run into those - might not be federated with solarpunk. Definitely sound like good candidates for the chopping block though.
But think of all the downsides!
Genocide is bad, wether it’s the Holocaust or the Very Real White Genocide in South Africa. If you have a problem with this statement, it’s because you think genocide is good.
Shit, there is a white genocide in South Africa ? like right now ?
It’s so real, definitely happening. Trump even said so.
(If English isn’t your first language, they’re mocking OP’s implication that because people downvote <moronic comparison>, that means they love <bad thing>)
If anything Trump saying so is making me trust the statement less, but I’ll look it up. Thanks for the clarification
Ooohhhh no wait, you were being sarcastic. I’m lost now
Lets follow the pattern of OP that Shinkan is mocking: “I don’t like eating puppies, whether it’s done by nazis OR users named Hadriscus”
You would downvote this, because you understand he is implying you, Hadriscus, like eating puppies, and also comparing you with nazis.
He is then coming here to say “Hey, look, Hadriscus downvoted me! That means he is pro-eating puppies.”
That is frankly too convoluted for me to understand, but at least I now know both of you were sarcastic in your writing. Thanks for clarifying
They’re making a joke by using a logical fallacy known as a false premise.
Damn that was hard to wrap my head around. I think I understand now. Cheers
The white genocide claim is something that Elon Musk and Donald Trump have been promoting. He even asked the president of South Africa about it when he came to the White House, and he told Trump it wasn’t a thing, but of course Trump didn’t believe him. In fact, he’s offering amnesty to white African immigrants as refugees (something which is denied if you have different color of skin).
And the Uyghurs in China.
Authoritarianism is bad, whether it’s the Nazis or the CCP.
“Thing is bad whether it’s verifiably real or verifiably bullshit”
You’d probably also get downvoted IRL for saying this out loud south of the mason-dixon line, too
my experience on this app has been way better since I set up an instance block for the tankie triad.
I’ll downvote that too.
It seems to #bothsides an issue via a lot of hyperbole, and risks straw-manning one side just for a favourable comparison.
I don’t colour myself a tankie, but I do live in a more socialist country than America - low bar, such as it is. I sense I’m not in a position to properly understand how your argument can make sense, but the kneejerk comparison I feel needs some explanation before just throwing that smelly fish out there.
It’s not cut-and-dried, but presented as such. It’s not helpful and relevant by itself. Thus, downvote.
No context and the thread itself seems deleted? Or this is from weeks ago? Weird sub for this as well. This feels sus.
What was the context?
.ml is Lemmy’s The_Donald or /r/Conservative. Obviously different ideologies, but the behavior is the same. Bunch of petulant children.
They have very predictable trigger points. Also I am starting to believe that there is a bot that automatically downvotes anything that contains the word tankie.
Meh, they don’t like to be called tankies so you are already being deregatory. I am also guilty of saying similar things and I am never surprised when I get down voted. Even if you go with campism and campist, which is more accurate, they don’t like that either. Truth hurts I guess.
They are always coming from, “this is all western imperialists propaganda.” First of all, most people know this and every bit of propaganda has some truth to it. When the CIA or some other propaganda machine picks up on what China or Russia is doing and then projects it, it is not always a lie. It is often built on some truth.
This is also true for Russian and Chinese propaganda. Being able to sort what is true and what is conjecture is important to understanding propaganda. ML cannot do this with Western Propaganda, they can only suss out their teams propaganda and they usually do a horrible job at it.
Fork and defederate.
A bullshit false equivalence that only serves to amplify alt-right messaging? Yeah, I’d downvote that garbage, too.
“tankie leftist” is a meaningless term and “tankie” is only used as a pejorative against socialists/communists.. It’s ignorant and combative language. I’m completely unsurprised that you are downvoted for that.
Last week highly-upvoted comment on reddit claimed that environmentalism is nothing more than russian-bot fueled fad.
