It's considered bigotry by davel (lemmy.ml admin) to call out misinformation bots literally posting Russian misinformation on .ml

Every accusation is an admission.
i have to apologise to our commie lemming chums for calling them commies
they are truly russian shill hybrid-war foot-soldiers for the poisonous putin regime
they have turned lemmy into a weapon of war for putin and found their sense of purpose in whatever fantasy moral system they have invented for themselves
i guess it's a tough life being a commie in this day and age after so much failure. strong psychopathic men in failed states must appeal to them
using the same words as the alt-right users too. calling people shitlib, instead of woke.
Only thing I worry about is that lemmy.ml is often the default server recommended for newbs. Plus the main devs are there.
"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."
.ml is basically Lemmy's /r/conservative as far as being annoying, misinformed, knuckle-dragging fools. My only censorship experiences on Lemmy in over a year have been from loser .ml admins.
Avoid at all costs.
Any major instance should've defederated from this shithole a long time ago, together with hexbear and blahaj. Those instances are more of a toxic cesspool than the average league of legends lobby.
I don't love blahaj but they aren't really in the same ballpark as the tankie triad.
Am I ootl on something with blahaj? It's been a fine instance imo
Its fine its just not how I want an instance I'm on to be moderated. Little too trigger happy on bans. I understand why its just not how I enjoy the threadiverse. Not anywhere near the same issues that come from the propaganda instances though.
They absolutely are imo. I think I had way more unpleasant experiences with those freaks than I had with hexbear and .ml combined.
There is an austrian pastry called "Punschkrapfen". That is a great analogy for blahaj. Pink on the outside, brown on the inside.
Gee. Wonder why that could be.
looks delicious, but what does that even mean?
It’s always suspicious when someone attacks Blahaj.
💯
If you're trying to imply that I'm hating trans people, nah - I generally support individuals doing what they want as long as they won't harm someone. I just think the people on there are amongst the most aggressive and awful people I've met on lemmy/piefed so far that will try to ruin your life over minor disagreements, which is why I'm mostly ignoring the people from that instance.
Ask yourself why marginalized people are "aggressive" palestinians and ukrainians are that way for a reason.
Comparing people living in a war scenario to trans people might be the most unhinged thing I've heard today tbh.
blahaj isnt really the same as a tankie. they just want to protect trans people from transphobic people. tankies are extreme political beliefs, as is conservatism.
Two minorities of people who make it their mission in life to be offended by the majority.
The fuck? Blahaj is great.
Well the PF instances don't really have an excuse, though iirc the flagship PF does defed (or maybe it was a default block?) from the entire Triad
But it has come up that some major instances have a big concern in that if they defed from .ml dessalines will pull back support from them in retaliation
Which is always a fantastic healthy green flag of a relationship/s
Any evidence of this? https://infosec.pub/instances defederates from Lemmy.ml and is doing just fine
I don't really consider infosec.pub to be a "major" instance, it's only at ~300 MAUs iirc, by "major" I'm thinking .world or SJW or blahaj
In any case, I'm almost positive I've seen it mentioned publicly in one of those big threads, maybe the donation ones a few months back. It was also told to me point blank by an admin of one of said major instances in a DM, but I am unsure how or even if I can release that considering it was told to me in private
Here is an example of both Dessalines and Nutomic helping troubleshooting Lemmy.cafe , which defederates from .ml
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5112
So there are a few possible reasons I can see with this
So it doesn't change anything in any of the 3 scenarios, until the last one, and even then there's still no documented evidence of the Lemmy devs not helping ever happening?
What truly matters is that major instances have this fear to begin with, not whether or not it will happen.
Then why don't those admins switch to Piefed if that's a fear? It's been around for a while now, and it works as well as Lemmy.
While we are talking, why haven't you switched to a Piefed account yourself?
Probably because it's not easy to transfer entire instances? I don't know dude.
I don't care to switch. Lemmy is dead
He wants use their products while saying they evil. He's too lazy to move, just only enough time to use old out of context screenshots to laugh at lonely people.
If such comment was made it would have probably created a lot of dedicated posts
If an admin of any instance got threatened that way they should probably release the evidence as this would probably encourage people to move to Piefed.
Sorry if I phrased it weirdly, I didn't mean to imply that threats had been made (which I mean, dessalines is smarter than that, because like you said it would blow the Lemmy-verse up if he actually made a threat), but rather it's a fear that's out there.
But like I said, I have confirmation of that fear in a DM from a major instance admin. Whether or not that fear is founded and justified or not, is up for debate. But it exists and it's a factor in the decision making process
Then why doesn't that admin switch their instance to Piefed? It's been stable for a while now
I think by "pulling support" he means that they will no longer support the instance if there are bugs or problems occurring. If you're technically savvy enough, you can probably get by without their support.
The Threadiverse Admin group has all the admins of the biggest instances , that's probably more than enough to troubleshoot any issue
Also if you're experiencing a but in the software itself, there are high chances that it's there for everyone, so Lemmy devs will probably want to know about it
