A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
My .ml experience:
The .world experience:
Are they really Zionists, though? I've been accused multiple times (twice yesterday and once today) of allegedly supporting genocide. I can actually point out people in the comments here crying Nazi at everyone they disagree with.
This whole "you genocide sympathiser!" shit is getting old. It's cheap mud-slinging without basis.
Yes, there are Zionists in Lemmy. Anyone believing that Israel as an ethnostate in stolen land has the right to exist is a Zionist. Plenty of people believing that
Not in my experience. Those are few and in between, and highly downvoted. The rest of the time, it's empty accusations to try to win an argument by vilifying and poisoning the well. The times I've been accused have never been in earnest or good faith.
from the modlog it looked like you got a 4 day ban for citing a work of fiction as fact and crashing out in the replies when challenged on it
Actual .ml experience (from a guy who has different opinions):
Also like come on, I've seen you around on .ml and all you want is to stir things up and ignore the evidence that other people provide, or say it's just wrong without providing any alternative sources.
I have found that ML's tend to refuse to accept alternative views when supported by similar sources. Almost as if they are not interested in political philosophy or discussion but rather have just memorised doga and get worked up when you push passed their talking points.
Most of the time when this happens it is because you are using western media as evidence. Western media often has tons of mis/disinformation so it's best to stick to primary sources or sources that reference primary sources.
If I'm wrong I'm happy for you to provide an example, I'm sure there are some because not all .ml people are reasonable, just like not everyone on any instance.
My actual .ml experience:
🤷♂️
I'm genuinely interested, can you provide a link if that example is still up?
I agree that insulting you is not a good resolution or a nice thing to do.
I sincerely can't find it. I know it's a huge thing over there to "ask for links or it didn't happen", but I changed accounts and even unblocked the instance while trying to look it up. I think my entire post history got scrubbed along with the ban, which I find hilarious, because how do I prove it happened if the admins deleted the whole thing? lol
All i got was a quote of his ex-wife and an evaluation of another book. So please stick to the facts.
"Different opinion" lol complete bullshit as usual
I'm pretty sure I'm banned from .ml.
Badge of honour.
I'm jealous. I have them defederated but I wish I could disconnect from all their users.
Yep. They’re afraid factual reality might infect their little flock of frightened chicks so they inoculate the entire hen house with “Rule 1” bullshit. Meanwhile, they have no problem allowing vitriol and hatred to spew from their own loyalist goons. And those goons are able to take advantage of the free speech that all the other instances practice because they know that lemmy admins are flaccid an ineffective tools.
.ml needs to be defederated. Let them cry about it in their own little echo chamber.
I'm not even a particularly principled commenter.
Pretty much all I do is shitpost.
