@blightbow Thanks. I appreciate the work that the admins here do. Kbin-social is a nice landing pad for this reddit refugee. That said, I don't have an interest in posting to lemmy.ml because they seem to be a bunch of tankies, which is being generous. The question in my mind is why kbin-social hasn't returned the favor and banned them as well as their gulag archipelago instance?
Return the favor and...not ban them? Because this thread is explaining that it was a bug and has been fixed, meaning no shadowban is occurring anymore....
You're thinking of lemmygrad.ml
Lemmy.ml is pretty diverse as far as I'm aware.
Browsing any Lemmy instance is like swimming in a public pool and saying only the other half of it is filled with piss and this part is fine...
Lemmygrad and lemmy.ml are both run by the same developers and occupied by the same users: tankies and people who are pro CCP apologists.
PSA: All public swimming pools are filled with piss.
It used to be filled with stingrays and Aids, so piss is tad bit better
Those are the same people.
I think you all conflate the admins with the userbase. Lemmy.ml has a lot of regular users & communities. In that sense you would have to blanket block all Lemmy instances in general.
A community and its direction is though largely depending on the Admins.
Just recently some tankie posted a "meme" on "meme" that just casually tried to claim the Rothschild Family was intertwined with western media and because of that western media bad, just the casual antisemitism. And the Admins did not care.
I can guarantee you that the majority of Lemmy.ml users have absolutely no clue about the political views of their admins. There's a reason why Lemmy.ml is so much larger than Lemmygrad.ml.
And I've seen stupid conspiracy shit on kbin and lemmy.world as well.
The issue is not whether there is some individual occasion where some individual person posts "conspiracy shit."
The issue is whether admins act on user reports of blatant anti-semitism.
Pretty much this. It still gets a lot of flack for being operated by the developers of Lemmy, but there are a large number of users and communities that exist on lemmy.ml for no other reason than it being one of the larger original instances. Most operators of high-volume instances are unlikely to take action against lemmy.ml unless a situation develops that gives them no other choice.
Diverse but still full of tankies.
Doesn't the .ml stand for marx and lenin?
That's the rumour.
It's technically the domain for Malawi, who operate a free domain name scheme.
But apparently those devs picked it because of Marx Lenin.
Thank you for this! I've been wondering what it was but didn't care enough to look it up.
It stands for Marxism-Leninism, which other people would call Communism.

I too tried to flee reddit for lemmy.ml, over a year ago now - and found it to be a far worse clusterfucked shitstorm than reddit ever was, and I mean that ideologically, philosophically, politically, and morally.
I just didn't go back until the current exodus, mainly because I was trying to see if the account still worked, and it had been lost/purged/banned whatever
fuck those guys and the horse they rode in on, then far as I'm concerned, they can ride it back out of here wet.
Might as well federate with facebook.
This was the most anachronistic American Southwestern burn I've yet seen on any internet comment thread to date. I can nearly hear the spitoon at the end.
I know it sounds like I'm making fun of it, but I genuinely am not. Marvelous
@sparseMatrix Agree 100%
