Who else are they supposed to obsess over if they do that?

40k though

Context?

A lot of people have been banned for similar reasons around the DOGE crackdown. The smallest comment would trigger a ban for "inciting violence."

tankie who's upset that .ml users can't spread pro north korea shit

I think that's a personal preference. From what I've heard, the devs used to be tankies (fuck those), other devs distanced themselves (I think?), tankies made Lemmy.ml (you can tell by the amount of bullshit on there, lol), some instances defederated from it (good) and now...I think we just go on? Idk, I'm probably completely wrong about that, please correct me. Anyway, fuck tankies.

I really like Lemmy. I probably won't leave. Sure, Mastodon works ig, but I'm not a Twitter person. I much prefer the Reddit-style...style of Lemmy. So, forgive me for this, but I'm staying.

I see, I was wrong. Checking the Lemmy repository, it seems that nutomic and dessalines still work on it. And yeah, these are hardcore tankies that I strongly disagree with.
With that said, these people run lemmy.ml. I'm not on lemmy.ml. I really don't think they can influence me in any way, cause of how Lemmy works. The first thing I do when signing up is block Yogthos, lemmy.ml, all communism communities and the lemmy.ml instance.

So...don't judge me for this, but I'm staying, even tho I disagree with the devs. I mean fuck, Elon Musk being human trash doesn't stop people from using Twitter and I bet way more people use Twitter than there are Lemmy users.

I slept 5 hours last night and I'm dead (suffering from relationship success) :P
If anything that I type doesn't make sense, please correct me!

.ml

And it's monthly, not weekly.

I agree, it's sad what has become of db0.

Ok, I get it that there are pro-China guys, plenty of Russian regime fans around as well. But the thing that really caught me by surprise is that there are seriously people entirely serious about how North Korea is heaven earth.

Good thing no one is over 50% then?

Re-read, bud.

.world is doing its best to replicate every bad thing about reddit (starting with powermods) while avoiding every positive aspect it might have once had. I'm sure its admins have constant wet dreams about the day they can go public and sell it for parts.

.ml is trying to pretend it's not lemmygrad by putting on glasses with a fake nose and a moustache.

Both are toxic and harmful to the fediverse.

Similar things can be said of most other “big” instances to a lesser extent (including the one I'm in, but I'm too lazy to move out for a third time).

Frankly, the only instance I'd trust to not be politically compromised is fedinsfw, and I already got bit once by lemmynsfw's incompetent management (when they lost control of it to a rogue admin and it closed for months), so I'm not going back there.

Next time I have to move I'll be rolling my own private instance, or quitting altogether.

Can't enshittify if you have no services in the first place

No that's stupid and you're stupid but Lenin is cool

I wonder if the Jehovah's witnesses are excited like this when they get a good number of members. /s

Anything about piracy is blocked, as well as other content. I'm all for moderation, but I'm against censorship.

Wtf man. Fuck North Korea, and any other propaganda. I'm worried about censoring piracy related content mostly. I don't even know .ml, I'm from .db0.

Speaking about propaganda and fake news, you're the one jumping to wrong conclusions and thus spread misinformation. You didn't even bother to check which instance I'm from. You're such a massive hypocrite.

Dbzer0, which is focused on piracy and for autism/ADHD spectrum, pro lgbtq and pro trans. It is blocked by .world.

I decided to drop Reddit recently, it's an ugly husk of what it once was.

I typed into Google "Reddit alternatives" and funnily enough, it was from a Reddit post that I learned about Sumit and Lemmy.World.

It will grow exponentially, though, Reddi's latest update removed the r/all sub and its pissed off a heck of a lot of users.

Imo it doesn't even deserve to have consumers anymore, it's basically a Facebook newsfeed now, merely without a friends list.

It will grow exponentially

It made a huge jump in 2023 and is mostly declining since then. Unfortunately fediverse observer shut down.

Lemmy.world is very search engine friendly. If you add lemmy to your search, it will usually surface lemmy world

I'm here because they restricted old.reddit to only logged in users for "security reasons." The only time I log in is when I'm truly motivated to post something. Forcing me into their obnoxiously large, ad filled hamster wheel of scrolling when I just want to browse efficiently was the last straw.

I think it's OK to have specific instances ban certain stuff especially piracy. Those issues concern legal things and risking a general lemmy instance which is fairly large is not worth it. Those things are better put on a dedicated instance that will be tolerant to legal problems. Same rules don't have to apply to all lemmy instances, each lemmy instance is better with their own set of rules or identities.

Thank you for the tip

Turns out federation is a moot point when everyone is in the same server and everywhere else is de-federated anyway because people, mods and instance admins cannot behave.

That's a shame to hear... either way, I'm just glad to be off of Reddit. I wasn't banned, just began to hate it with a passion.

That's fair enough, I don't blame you. The weird thing about that having to be logged in thing, is that as soon as I deleted the app; voila, you can browse posts from Google results, even up-vote and pressumedly comment, without even being logged in. What a predatory app.

I kinda miss when forums had a dedicated politics board, hell i miss boards in general which is why i still use sites like Whirlpool. Forums were better

You speak the true true as evident by looking at the mod logs

No complaints here about lemmy.today :)

RIP kbin.social

You were my first.

Same!

.zip leaves it to the user to block what they want and it doesn’t have a habit of defederating.

.ml admins delete comments and give out instance bans for saying the wrong opinion.

sh.itjust.works

Yeah, choke on that billionaire corporate dick real good like you're supposed to. Good boy

Only up to 144,000.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah's_Witnesses_and_salvation )

The minimum 'dozens' is 2x12, I would think.
So dozens of dozens of dozens is at least 24x24x24=13,824. That many dozen is 13,824x12 = 165,888.
So I think dozens of dozens of dozens of dozen is right for 200,000.
What have I got wrong?

Chill. You don't have to agree with what someone is saying but no need to be a douche.
The whole point of instances is that they can alk have their own rules and you can pick another one if you're not happy.

I don't know that you did anything wrong. This is all too gross for me.

I started on .world and tried a couple instances before I settled happily with lemmy.today

Its a shame I miss when I used to be able to interact with users from other instances.

We're all going to heaven, the prophecy was about Lemmy it turns out
