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.

    This community is not for complaining about bans or mod action on other instances.

    Locked.

    YDI. Casual russophobia, imperial bootlicking, lazy liberal disinfo, etc. are not wanted by reasonable people.

    Klik was Russian. Spam was Lithuanian, I think. We don’t talk about Spork at all. /s

    One can take this lightly (I usually do), but in reality these people are a danger to the entire fediverse.

        Yeah, it’s an embarrassing shit stain that .ml is the “main” instance. Every other instance admin is forced to play nice if they want a place to get support, which sucks. Lemmy needs to be forked hard, but those devs are sucking in funding from about a half-dozen or more sources, so they have more incentive than most to do the foot work.

      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.

    That’s because they’re actually propagandists for those authoritarian governments pretending to be communist. They’re about as communist as the Nazis were socialist.

      True and the thing that I wish I could literally scream into every rightwinger in America’s face is that the same is true for our current pedophile in chief

      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!
