Most people don't hate Lemmy.ml, it's a vocal minority more common on some instances than others.
I'd say the homophobia/misogyny coming from your comment is more of a turn off to me than Marxists, personally.
.ml is on of the most abusive and censored communities I have ever seen. While I generally agree with their anti imperialism it ends there.
I've been censored far more on Lemmy.world, and never on Lemmy.ml. I got permabanned from Political Memes on Lemmy.world for asking why the mods were removing comments pointing out the Democrats involvement in the genocide of Palestinians, and was tempbanned from Lemmy.world's asklemmy comm for calling out transphobia.
Lemmy.ml is one of the better servers with respect to "censorship," it doesn't defederate from the Leftist instances and it removes bigotry pretty much instantly.
Blocked for denying reality.
Where did I "deny reality?" Lmao. Disagreeing with your opinion isn't some unholy sin.
I'm sure this is the majority opinion on this instance... I've got a comment removed on .ml for criticizing it so no wonder you don't see such comments often
I got banned from Lemmy.world's political memes community for questioning why mods were removing comments pointing out the Democrat's involvement with the genocide in Palestine.
Overall, most users are fine with Lemmy.ml, the haters tend to be concentrated on liberal or otherwise anti-left instances.
To be clear: I'm not arguing for .world either. We should decentralize and focus on smaller instances
Sure, but the way to do that isn't to create tons of general instances, but more specialized ones around a general topic. Lemmy.ml focuses on FOSS and Privacy, and Hexbear focuses on Leftist politics.
The question of the post/thread is whether the meme communities should all be merged on .ml and that's what I'm arguing against. I don't care when .ml people do .ml stuff on .ml. Just don't move everything there.
Sure, but your statement was that most people don't like Lemmy.ml, which is exaggerated at best.
I didn't say that, that's an exaggeration. Also, I was coping a comment above mine as a joke. But I still stand to my comment. It doesn't say "most people" but "all my homies"
I feel like that's getting into the weeds a bit, but whatever.
You put words into my mouth I never said and now you complain that it's getting into the weeds a bit, but whatever
I interpreted your comment as I thought it was meant, I don't think it was an unreasonable misinterpretation. "All my homies" in your comment was used in conjunction to saying a lot of people would be upset, now you're just implying it's only some people and your point makes less sense.
It doesn't matter though, which is why it's getting into the weeds. This conversation is pointless now.
But do you agree that it's a bad idea to merge all big meme communities to .ml? Which is what I was talking about all along. No matter if you misinterpret my point.
Also: I think it's alot of people who would be upset, even tho it's not most. Could you at least stick to your misinterpretation?
I think people need to drop the idea of having single communities, and instead have instances view comms more like categories on instances. Multicomms from federated instances are a good idea.
Took us a while to finally see we actually agree
