Maybe politics was the wrong word, what I mean is drama.

The way comments and users are purged from ml would make Stalin proud!
But they may not know the history of it or why it was made before joining. I certainly didn’t, it was more about a decentralised alternative to Reddit, I just joined and explored.
I don’t know why the lemmy.ml admins don’t just defederate from everyone but lemmygrad and hexbear. It’s clear that only their extreme views are allowed and they must spend a lot of time banning “libs”.
It would do everyone a favour really. We’d have less instance politics and hopefully more content, and make it the fediverse more attractive to the average person.
If you’re new to Lemmy then it won’t be common knowledge at all.
There’s a lot of [Citation needed] tags on a lot of those claims. I’m not denying they exist but it’s also a bit of a flimsy source.
Or what?
How is this a controversial take? If you need a wall to keep people in or attempting to emigrate makes you a “defector”, or you’ve built up a huge surveillance network where your neighbours or even partners can report you for bullshit “crimes” , you’re an authoritarian state.
What sort of things out them as “libs”?
I agree it’s terrible on mobile, but it’s the wall of text I love on desktop. I want to see as many titles on a subreddit as I can.
The Lemmy web desktop UI is quite similar. I just wish the list of subscribed communities was more accessible rather than being at the bottom of the instance home page.
Guess that was probably on an lemmy.ml community?
My only complaint with the modlog is that it doesn’t say which moderator performed the action. It just says “mod”, so there’s no way for a community to make sure particular mods aren’t just going rogue.
You can put /modlog after the instance URL, e.g. https://lemmy.world/modlog
We don’t do that here (UK), there’s no order in which people are served their food. It doesn’t really matter, as it’s “polite” here to only start once everyone has got their food.
For me it’s 148.
This comment thread is making me feel old!
I never bother clicking the piped bot links, and I’m not a fan of the tldr bot either as I think there’s activity on a post but it turns out it’s just the bot.
Yeah it’s owned by meta.
I have a Matrix client installed for some communication with some users from my instance but I don’t really use it. I don’t use discord either.
Pretty much just WhatsApp and Telegram, and Slack for work.
I’ve added it to my blocked instances and I’d recommend others who have an issue with the way the communities on that instance are moderated and the way it’s managed to do the same.
Fortunately there are alternative instances and communities that are less authoritarian with their moderation.
