There was a good comment by @pjwestin@lemmy.world the other day on an angry anti-.ml post:
Before joining Lemmy: "It really doesn't matter what instance you join, you'll be able to see content from all over."
After joining Lemmy: "So you've enlisted in .world, eh? Welcome to the fight, soldier!"
Lemmy.world is very liberal leaning and defederated from the Marxist aligned instances. Lemmy.ml is more broadly federated and has Marxist mods and admins, and more leftist users in general.
That's it. Some users make it a fight.
very liberal leaning and defederated
For me, "slight liberal leaning" is more appropriate for them
There's currently about 600 lemmy instances, in many different countries, and those countries each have different laws regarding the protection of speech. Some of it is also just power-tripping mods or left-wing / right-wing censorship.
If this is happening to a community you like, you can always switch to the same community in a different instance. Eventually, the "official" community will have the most subscribers and the community with the censorship problems will wither and die.
I've yet to see any open lemm.ee prejudice anywhere. AFAIK it's the largest completely inoffensive instance and that's exactly what I was looking for.
dbzero on top. even after beefing with and being banned from another instance the admins let us stay federated.
.ml banning the dbzero admin instead of defederating will never not be funny.
"The users are fine, it's just the admin"
Wasn't that Hexbear that banned dbzer0? Or was that also Lemmy.ml?
I could be misremembering, but I can see dbzer0 content so I guess both instances came to the same conclusion lmao.
Is this one of those things where lemmy users "remember" things that happened to hexbear, or are you telling me that the dbzero admins also got themselves banned from .ml and dessalines also decided not to defed?
The propaganda recycling isn't great, but it's at the (VERY) least not any worse than reddit, facebook, or legacy media
I’ll be pretty annoyed if world and ml break up. I just want to scroll and they’re most of the content.
