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.
You must log in or register to comment.
This community is not for complaining about bans or mod action on other instances.
Locked.
YDI. Casual russophobia and imperial bootlicking are not wanted by reasonable people.
I recommend joining an instance that blocks lemmy.ml
Getting a ban from lemmy.ml is a badge of honour that many like to collect.
It’s the mirror version of getting banned from lemmy.world.
How do we find out if we’ve been named from an instance?
Perhaps in their modlog?
Awww, only banned from the .ml asklemmy comm. I think I stumbled in there on accident when I sorted by all posts or something and didn’t realize which one it was.
Don’t worry, they also deleted anything I said to them so they don’t have to be burdened by ideas that aren’t in lockstep with a tragically idiotic reading of Marx.
Thanks for letting me know!
I got my badge and I am honored.
One can take this lightly (I usually do), but in reality these people are a danger to the entire fediverse.
Unfortunately, a couple of them are lead devs for Lemmy :/
… and you will note, many of us moved to PieFed.
Cleaner code, saner devs
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.
Rule 1 is the ml catchall. It’s often the giveaway for an ml hardliner modding another community on an alt account that isn’t ml.
I was banned from some community because of “nazi apologia”, lol. I only realized this months later when checking the modlog for unrelated reasons.
Honestly… totally on-brand for me, I’m a big nazi simp. I’ll take every opportunity to glaze Himmler & the boys, fondly reminisce of WWII atrocities, and debate whether we should have included the bavarians in the shoah.
What can I say, that’s on me
Stephen Miller diary entry ahhh reply

Found the nazi!
;-)
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
Cochrun_xyz wasn’t even the largest spammer. rabotaem_app was, and if you go there (I’d suggest not), it is a Russian language Lemmy site…
The site they were spamming for is based in China.
what? The good folks at Lemmy.ml didn’t like you talking down about a dictator?
Wild!
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!
The usa is the worlds largest arms dealer by a very long way, probably also the biggest spammers, and manipulators.
Russia is worse in every regard and their complete lack of government is quite literally the exact blueprint being used to fuel rightwing extremist media in just about every major country (but hell, they’re literally doing it in just about EVERY country).
They don’t have as many weapons, but who needs that when you can just install your own president over the Americans who pick to be couped?
Weird flex but okay.
Lemmy.ml and even more so lemmygrad.ml (the latter is defederated from by most sane instances across the Threadiverse) are tankie platforms. Tankies believe in alternative facts, such as the fact that nobody died in the Tiannamen Square Massacre. Or if they did then they deserved it. Or if they did not then it was necessary. Or if it wasn’t then… - I am saying that you should expect arguments to shift goals moment to moment, based on the personal biases and need to appear right on the Internet, regardless of any need to actually be thus.
And don’t even get me started on hexbear.net, which has no real beliefs at all beyond the raw need to troll people incessantly (this one is also defederated from by nearly all sane instances across the Threadiverse).
So, you are missing out on nothing important whatsoever. Consider yourself fortunate that you discovered this early on.
Sounds about Lemmy.ml.
The other day some bOtH sIdEs ArE tHe SaMe shill commented and I pointed out lemmy.ml. More shills apparently showed up to downvote me 🤣
Yeah. They brigade. Well known phenomemon on that instance.
I mean, what do you expect from an explicitly (m)arxist-(l)eninist instance. Their entire religion is “west bad, russia and china literally the best” and censoring any wrongthink. And yet there you are implying Russia is behind a bad thing. Of course they’d take action against you.
Imo fediverse projects really need to federate instance rules. Just include them in the instance actor (if they aren’t already) like you’d do with a community, then use them if available.
They expect the liberal, imperial norm where the entire religion is “russia bad, the west (aka white supremacy) is literally the best” and censoring any wrongthink…
Fwiw, one can be a Marxist Leninist and think Russia’s government sucks. It is anything but Marxist or Leninist.
Yeah but the libs still hate them. It’s weird. Trump openly acknowledges he’s invading iran, south america, africa, etc. and still.
Yeah, but the tankies still love them. It’s weird. Putin openly acknowledges he’s trying to rebuild imperial Russia, not the USSR, and still.
It’s weird, but they like him because he’s an opposition to the west. They like him because they hate the west.
honestly I think memorizing TLDs for Geoguessr a few years ago made me think Malaysia before i ever considered .ml to stand for marxist leninist lmao
It’s Mali’s TLD, they just like that it lines up with Marxist-Leninist
Fuck now you’re telling me I mixed up Malaysia and Mali?! Just put me out of misery now
put me out of misery now
nono, not .mi DUH
;-)
Malaysian here. I was gonna make you feel better by pointing out the similarities between us but after looking them up… Yeah, I got nothing.
Ну вы че ожидали? Они там то постоянно так поступают. Я предвижу что все у вас лучше станет немедленно.
I don’t know Cyrillic but assuming google translate got this translated right: I was honestly more shocked that they popped me so quick, if anything.
Usually, they at least try and put up a facade of freedom of speech. To get the psychological walls down and all that, you know?
Nah, that’s for people posting Russian disinformation from other instances. ML is fully just for people who want to luxuriate in it and not bother to pretend.
You sound like a mcmurican
You sound like a tankie.
There, now we’re even.
OP: Openly anti-Russian
Me: Does the same thing to point it out aka reality check.
You: Derps tears all over the place.
That’s not what happened
It is though.
Why ya say that?
y’all struggling
Struggling with what?
You personally, with honesty and not being a zombie.
How so?
