For all your boycotting needs. I'm sure there's some mods caught in lemmy.ml's top 10 that are perfectly upstanding and reasonable people, my condolences for the cross-fire.

  1. !memes@lemmy.world and !memes@sopuli.xyz. Or of course communities that rule.
  2. !asklemmy@lemmy.world
  3. !linux@programming.dev. Quite small, plenty of more specific ones available. Also linux is inescapable on lemmy anyway :)
  4. !programmer_humor@programming.dev
  5. !world@lemmy.world
  6. !privacy@lemmy.world and maybe !privacyguides@lemmy.one, lemmy.one itself seems to be up in the air. !fedigrow@lemm.ee says !privacy@lemmy.ca. They really seem to be hiding even from another, those tinfoil hats :)
  7. !technology@lemmy.world
  8. Seems like !comicstrips@lemmy.world and !comicbooks@lemmy.world, various smaller comic-specifc communities as well as !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee
  9. !opensource@programming.dev
  10. !fuckcars@lemmy.world

(Out of the loop? Here's a thread on lemmy.ml mods and their questionable behaviour)

The world news community on .ml is just Russian and Chinese propoganda.

[-] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

And .world is liberal amerikkkan bs then?

(not saying that either one is right btw)

[-] hark@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Clearly the American point of view is neutral, the default, and the truth, so it doesn't count as propaganda.

[-] randint@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Why are you being downvoted? Is it not obvious enough that your comment was sarcasm?

[-] Urist@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 months ago

I had to do a double take because this sentiment is prevalent throughout lemmy.world and other instances.

[-] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

mbmb forgot the USA is the universal truth in nation-state form at the centre of the known universe/"international community" lmao

[-] SpaceCadet@feddit.nl 4 points 5 months ago

It's not even about which view is right or neutral. On .world posts and comments critical of the US aren't mass censored like .ml does with posts critical of China, Russia or the former USSR.

[-] hark@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

That's true to some extent. I don't agree with hard censorship like that, but there is also the risk of getting astroturfed and brigaded like reddit, which had a clear example as far back as 2013 where Eglin Air Force Base, FL showed up as "most addicted city". The goal of censorship is to give your own opinions more space, so I'm not exactly upset if other instances are moderated in a different way when there are plenty of other instances moderated in a different way. The fediverse offers plenty of space.
