| 1M | mod | Removed Comment The trouble with this is that I think bots and [bad faith trolls](https://lemmy.ml/u/yogthos) can split the difference, passing some minimum threshold of constructive and marrying it to usual trolling behaviors. by @frozenspinach@lemmy.ml reason: Rule 2 |
| 1M | mod | Removed Comment Agreed. Though it is not just that one isolated user - the admins of Lemmy.ml are quite well-known themselves for administering their server in bad faith as well. The side-bar just says "A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmyβs developers" (and then a link to "[What is Lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/post/70280)" that returns an error when I try to click it - btw for you with an account, does it go anywhere? maybe a community that is only visible to those locally with an account? for me it says "There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn't work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room." - but what about when you click it?). And it while people on that instance *constantly* criticize the USA's support for Israel's genocide in Gaza, nonetheless if you whisper a criticism towards the likes of Russia, China, or North Korea, you will be banned even from communities that you have never once visited. That is simply how they do things over there. ([further reading](https://lemmy.world/post/21055894), see also so, so very many examples in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com or !fediverselore@lemmy.ca or !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works etc.)
Sadly, I am not anywhere close to joking or exaggerating. Also, while they ban people for mentioning that e.g. people died in the Tiananmen Square massacre, they also protect mods who act horribly towards their fellow human being. Here's an interesting example that you can read it for yourself e.g. at https://hexbear.net/post/3706906/5518427 where after the mod told the poster (over a misunderstanding of an in-game event) that he wanted to kill them, and then even the unremoved comments from the mod doubles down with βnono I donβt want to shoot for pointing that itβs a game, I want to shoot you becauseβ¦β, and then later tripled down still further, e.g. stating βI hope you die soon.β). To be clear, this post shows up on hexbear.net (for some reason, despite the original having been removed entirely), but the incident occurred on and the mod is from lemmy.ml - those instances are often intertwined, along with lemmygrad.ml.
So you may want to consider switching instances. A further thought: I am having to reply to you from a different instance than my original comment since I have blocked all users from lemmy.ml (although PieFed's Notifications system is newly implemented and still not fully functional yet, causing me to have to hunt down why I received a Notification for a comment that I could not see:-). You will often face similar prejudice when speaking from that account on that instance - e.g. the apps Sync and Connect can also do such user-blocking of instances, and several instances such as lemmy.cafe and quokk.au and dubvee.org have outright defederated from lemmy.ml entirely. Thus you may sometimes feel like you are speaking into a void and wondering why nobody will respond to you - I am explaining that this may well be a reason why.
I hope that you don't feel that I am picking on *you* personally, just trying to share that thought that could help you understand the contentious situation between the "tankie" vs. "liberal" instances on the Fediverse:-). If you wanted an instance that is specifically leftist, slrpnk.net seems awesome? In contrast, lemmy.ml merely pretends to be leftist, while actually advocating solely for *formerly* communist powers, despite them being currently capitalistic, and definitely authoritarian - e.g. you will see people praising the virtues of North Korea there, but nowhere else on the Fediverse that I have yet seen! Although for me, it's not even *what* those users believe, so much as their improper argumentation form about it, e.g. here's an example from the bad-faith user you mentioned, posted just prior to the USA election, which seems to be an attempt to encourage the BuT bOtH sIdEs EqUaL ThO rhetoric:
And I see this kind of thing *so often* from users on lemmy.ml, that I just blocked the entire instance - again, I hope you *personally* don't feel attacked by this, just sharing my reasoning in case that may be helpful for you.:-) by  @OpenStars@startrek.website reason: Rule 1 |

| 10M | mod | Removed Comment Blocking shitty instances is great. Users should have more ability to include the instances they want to hang out with, in their own experience, but I'll almost never object to a "fuck Nazis" policy.
Blocking other instances that don't block shitty-enough instances makes sense. Hexbear is a chan board for tankies, but then .ml is only "more serious" by having mods snip and tut at anyone besides those tankies. If there's any actual Nazi instances, I don't wanna know, and I don't wanna see anybody that hangs out with them.
Blocking instances based on M'Zuck's embrace-extend-extinguish plans, yeah okay sure? That's predicting existential problems for federation as a concept.
But a list of instances... not even mentioning them... by association? That feels kinda skeezy.
I guess if it's *specifically* a "where you should sign up" list, versus a "here's all the servers that aren't fucking Nazis," then... okay. But if this is a solution, maybe we have deeper problems. by @mindbleach@sh.itjust.works reason: Rule 1 |

| 10M | mod | Removed Comment Not only did I not stick to ML orthodoxy while I was there (I'm more of a peacenik anarchist at heart), I wrote some fairly rude things when I found out how insane some of the tankies on lemmy can be. I hadn't expected such people to exist in reality, I had thought it was just a caricature invented by enemies of communism or something. Nonetheless they did not ban me or complain at all when I said that sort of thing.
