How I interact with lemmy.ml:

1. If I see a post I want to comment on, I comment on it. I don't give a fuck what instance it's on.
2. If I want to post, I select the relevant community with the most subscribers. I don't give a fuck what instance it's on.
3. If I can't comment or post there, because I was banned for criticizing a dictatorship, I select the next biggest community.

(This happens about 50% of the time, cause I'm now banned on most .ml communities, simply for posting common sense opinions.)

ml makes sense on the fediverse. That's kind of the whole point. Same with Linux.

We need to grow the !linuxphones@lemmy.ca alternative more!

The irony of a community promoting socialism while also instabanning anyone for the slightest wiff of criticism is just chef's kiss peak representation of why their system is doomed.

If you can't withstand the slightest nudge of criticism how are you even going to attempt to provide a governance system based on any kind of economic directive? If Marx could see what you guys have become he'd personally wipe his ass with your lame ml instance

Can't? I already personally blocked them months ago.

Why would you want to create an echo chamber? I genuinely don't get it, it's the internet, if you encounter an opinion you disagree with, literally just close the tab and it's gone

You folks are blowing this way out of proportion.

I feel like I'm missing something important here as a simple fediverse user. I don't really care about the politics, I just made an account during the first large Reddit exodus and choose an instance I thought would persist. I also made a second account on kbin.social, but it looks pretty dead as a project.

I never noticed anything described in this thread, but I'm subbed to many communities across the fediverse...

The way I see it if they get defederated a lot of the people will migrate away from it and it won't be "too big to fail" anymore

Yeah do this,
So after we can finally talk about mods on LW, being pro Israel and moderating comments against IDF.

Oh ? That will not happen ? 😱

As a lemmy.ml account holder... I'm a bit out of the loop. I'm not tied to any single instance and can move to a new one (any recommendations?), but what does ml do that's bad? Honest question, promise, I don't follow this stuff very much

We should leave the m federated on most instances as a honeypot for them. This way they don’t join other instances.

It’s like when you give a kid a video game controller without batteries.

The beauty of the fediverse is that you can make it how you want. You can self select into a instance that best reflects your individual values. You can block what you want. You can see publicly what the instance and moderators are doing.

Why would anyone be mad about that?
