There is a specter haunting the fediverse 👻

Honestly these kinds of posts don't bother me. I'm usually on here answering people's tech questions or trying to provide useful resources to people. If they don't see it because they have ml blanket blocked then that's their loss.
You know what's funny is .ml was one of the first instances I signed up for. I thought it stood for machine learning or something to do with programming.
I knew it was a leftist instance. I went into it (naively) excited to engage with a more thoughtful leftist internet space, considering it was a bunch of reddit exiles who were upset about heavy handed Reddit censorship. I was quite disappointed to learn quickly that it was just more of the same tankie brain rot, with more of the same tankie censorship you can find in a thousand different tedious places.
Even then I stuck with it for a bit. And then I learned that the head admin was potentially the most fragile person on the Internet, who literally will not post outside his own instance because he cannot handle any internet where he does not have (what he believes to be) a "win argument" ban button. It is literally so cringe, I cannot stand to be associated with it, and I don't understand how other people tolerate being associated with his antics.
I've got an ml account too, but at the time I think world was normal. I think world has also gone the Reich way.
Fuck! So .ml is not abbreviation for "Monster Lovers"?
My .ml experience:
- Have a different opinion
- Get banned for rule 2
- See what rule 2 is
- Respect other opinions
The .world experience:
- Have different opinion
- Provide evidence for said opinion
- Get a spam of 15 different accounts calling you anywhere from 7 different slurs to Russian troll/bot
- Get banned for "tankie"
- See how Zionists don't get banned despite defending an ongoing genocide
quality advice masquerading as a meme
The best jokes have a lot of truth to them!
I was wondering why so many tankies dominated that instance.
ML meaning "Marxist-Leninists" makes so much more sense now.
What a bunch of assholes.
The tell-tale indicator is the post itself, not the instance.
I'll make my own judgments, thank you.
For sure! I did that once when I was new here, it went sideways.
I never know the difference between all these Lemmy instances and why some communities are full of insane people
Racist people hang out with racist people. Sexist people hang out with sexist people
People are absolutely fucking amazing at self segregation with out realizing it.

US liberals are so upset when they hear anything to the left of AOC.
US Liberals are upset when they see anyone further left than Ronald Reagan
