Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

Isn't that the same accusation that people throw out about Lemmy.ml though? It's a reductionist meme at this point. If you honestly think the entire instance is a Nazi bar, why not just filter it out entirely instead of engaging with Nazis?

Like I said, I signed up for Lemmy.ml first. The admins rejected my application for reasons they would not disclose. I don't know if it's that they just didn't like my username/email or whatever, but I tried a couple times and got the same result each time.

I settled on Lemmy.world barring the first option, because I was tired of applying and waiting just to keep getting rejections, and a friend had told me this instance just accepts everyone. So I figured why not?

But why advocate cooperation and mutual support on the fediverse when we can just foster more infighting based on tribalism, I guess?

Their point isn't that Lemmy.ml is a Nazi bar, but that leftists should behave like the so-called "Nazis" at Lemmy.ml. We are communists, not Nazis, and are diametrically opposed to fascism.

As for why not Lemmy.world, it comes with the majority of Marxists pre-censored for you, which for me is bad.

I was calling .world a nazi bar demanding the .ml leftists behave according to their preferences

There is some slight irony to the idea that hardline .ml users consider themselves champions of the proletariat, while so vehemently disagreeing with the “normie” instance where most of the people are.

Ah, gotcha, my misunderstanding.

Then please recommend the .ml admins approve my application this time.

Until then, I could do with less patronizing about circumstances beyond my control.

You can probably message them directly.
