If the discussion is good, what is the problem? Genuine question.

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 82 points 3 months ago

Lemmy.ml is run by people who spread authoritarian propaganda, most likely the CCP. It's a real stain on Lemmy and people shouldn't support or legitimize it in any way.

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 30 points 3 months ago

Those same people are also the lead developers of lemmy.

Exhibit A of the original dev’s moderation style

Fuck that guy, best thing he did was make Lemmy open source so it can grow beyond their tiny little world view

Using Lemmy in general pretty much is legitimizing lemmy.ml's admin work though...

The thing about open source software, no one person gets the credit for it. Especially since the Reddit exodus there have been more and more contributors.

It's not a good discussion when they ban you in the middle of it for saying NATO is a defensive alliance.

I said worse things about USSR history and I still comment on political LM posts when I feel like putting effort, and don't even care about the instance if the subject is neutral. Their users did appreciate deeper digs in what it really was if I could produce some insights. The only user\mod I had problems with is y-tos, and I choose not to touch anything they write at all.

i feel like .ml is kind of hit or miss, some of the people on it are fine, some are just assholes, and some are just straight tankies. It's a weird mix going on over there.

That was the default Lemmy instance for a very long time, so I guess for pre-reddit exodus folks it wasn't more of a choice than for lemmy.world users now.

That is a shock? In my experience political and news communities are always biased and will remove anything that isn't a part of the narrative. Some are worse than others but the desire to stop "misinformation" often leads to censorship.

Because the discussion isn’t good, the instance admins themselves go from thread to thread removing anything that doesn’t agree with their chosen narrative of the week(subject to change according to the latest ccp talking points)

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

Because the discussion isn't good...

Bro first line in the meme says "you see an amazing discussion"

[-] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 12 points 3 months ago

Yeah, but then you see that the discussion is doomed because of where it's happening.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

Sometimes it isn't bad. For instance the privacy community is generally pretty good. However, there are some mods who have a "different" way of seeing things. They want the communities they mod to be propaganda machines.

I used to get annoyed but now I just move on to different communities. I will say that the admins of Lemmy.ml have gotten a lot more reasonable. They are still politically far left but they don't force there views nearly as much. Its some of the mods that are the problem. I don't care what they believe in but you shouldn't remove something because it challenges your beliefs

[-] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

Ehhh no

Lemmy.Ml admins are trash

Exhibit A
