Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.

I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.

Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

      Lol what’s especially frustrating is the fact that I didn’t even! Literally just made the broad assumption that it was of Russian origin.

      It’s the digital equivalent of seeing a foreign bomber plane and being like hmm probably the US because we love bombing people. Like yeah you might be wrong… but you’re probably right depending in where you’re physically located!

      Lmao no in general but yes for lemmy!

      Glad that the fediverse allows for mitigating this somewhat by design… but this has absolutely opened my eyes to the glaring flaws on the entire Lemmy platform as a whole.

        Normally people block ml quite quickly after arriving. Within a month or two. Maybe you’re not yet aware that you can personally blacklist entire instances, not just communities and users.
