There is a realistic scenario where Mali starts reclaiming domains who are using their TLD to mean Marxist-Leninist.

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 18 points 4 months ago

Is that why they use .ml? I had read somewhere that it was just an especially cheap domain to use or something?

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 25 points 4 months ago

Mali had a ten year period where they were allowing free registration. That doesn't exist anymore.

They also keep getting classified documents due to typos in army.mil email addresses and similar ;)

"They also keep getting classified documents due to typos in army.mil email addresses and similar ;)"

Government of Mali: "We should be taking advantage of this more than we are..."

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago

I'm pretty sure they're paying for theirs though. The free ones were taken away recently.

Lemmygrad and .ml are run by the same people. The latter is the "public" face I suppose

[-] Random_internet_user@lemmy.today 9 points 4 months ago

Nah the devs have officially made a statement they have no relation with .grad

[-] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 months ago

no officer, I didn't shoot that guy! I am just holding a gun and they have a bullet hole in their head

Defederation shouldn't be the first solution to problems with other instances. If they want to be overzealous and heavy handed with moderation on their site then they will lose users who want more fair and effective moderation. But if you defedate with them, then their users just get stuck on these echo chamber communities.

Defederation should be a last resort to deal with poor moderation of abusive content, not moderation that we don't agree with.

[-] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 4 months ago

I believe you accidentally said should instead of shouldn't in the first sentence

[-] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Thanks for the correction, really changes my whole point. I'm glad you caught it

Listen some of us made accounts on .ml when we had no idea what we were doing making a lemmy account, mkay

[-] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

Seconded. I joined .ml because they were the first to have a formula 1 community.

I prefer to follow the news on other instances like beehaw and .world to avoid your experience.

There are normal/non-radical communities that exist that would be lost via defederation.

Western chauvinism is when you criticize right-wing strongmen, and the more you criticize the right-wing, the more chauvinist it is.

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 26 points 4 months ago

I'm not saying it makes sense...

[-] amio@kbin.social 11 points 4 months ago

Well, then you'll get bann- oh.

[-] bigboig@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I learned recently firsthand .ml does not take kindly to the word tankie lol

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Nope, they ban you for it.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

~~They didn’t ban me just deleted my respective comments.~~ Edit: i was banned from worldnews@lemmy.ml for opinion that the Chinese gov controlled media was propaganda.

Good point. Turkey has been a bad-faith member of NATO for years now.

[-] ns1@feddit.uk 7 points 4 months ago

Yes, I remember seeing this comment. The bias there is really obvious to anyone following the discussion.

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 27 points 4 months ago

I don't see anything wrong with what you wrote. And what the hell is "western chauvinism" really? Eastern Europe and Western Europe are simply not THAT different culturally.

The only thing I would actually add to your comment (which would obviously get me banned) would be to say that vetoes should not be a thing in NATO...for ANY country.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 26 points 4 months ago

I once got banned for “BlueAnon nonsense”, and I still have no clue what that means.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 32 points 4 months ago

I got curious and looked it up.

"Blue Anon" is a term coined by conservatives attacking those who push "left-wing conspiracy theories."

The phrase is a play on the name of the radical conspiracy theory QAnon

So nonsense lmao

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 27 points 4 months ago

Oh, boy… when the mods over there are calling me the same names that Marjorie Taylor Green uses, I know I’m on the right side, lol

[-] Ilikecheese@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

The good news is neither do they.

It must be getting worse on .ml world news. Either that or they have some new power tripping mods. This is like the 5th post I've seen in 24hrs about being ban from there.

[-] bigboig@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 4 months ago

It is an election year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] Rolder@reddthat.com 21 points 4 months ago

Tankies gonna tankie

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 18 points 4 months ago

I've had cases where I got Hexbear dogpiled, so my comment got deleted. However, the mods still kept the dogpiling comments and I was still getting responses because obviously hexbear was brigading.

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 months ago

Yeah, that's how I found out I was banned. Tried to reply to a reply.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 17 points 4 months ago

Don't show a tankie reason and logic, they meltdown and get very hostile. Weak sorts of folks.

Congrats. I don't have any experience because I have been avoiding and blocking lemmy.ml.

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Hoorah, welcome to the club! It is a badge of honor really. I use a separate account to have some discussions on .ml but in the mean time I added lemmy.ml to my instance blocklist and Lemmy has been wonderfull since.

A big issue seems to be that users looking for worldnews get their world news instead of world at lemmy.world..

And yes I sometimes have discussions on .ml as I think some of the extrimist idolization needs to be called out. So that if normal people see such comments they can also read a dissenting viewpoint.

And every now and then, just to tell a tankie that the Uyghur camps are real... Getting banned and doing it again.

[-] ChowJeeBai@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Sorry to hear that mate. Same here, made a post about it too. I think it's a few users with an agenda, combined with an automod that carries out the actual ban, and mods who don't review. Discuss. Block (optional). Move on.

Also: as the thread gets active, tankie users may try to hijack your post with comments blaming you for your ban, calling you names/ libtard/ govt bootlicker etc. Ignore these idiots. They come out hot and expect your reaction. Don't drop to their level. Be better.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

[-] shani66@ani.social 7 points 4 months ago

I don't even know if my instance is federated with them, all the better if not imo.

[-] kaboom36@ani.social 3 points 4 months ago

We aren't, I'm still confused how an instance without any NSFW communities is "full of porn" lmao

Looks like someone might have been a bit trigger happy. 😅 Perhaps "dealing with them" got them into a twist. Given how we've "dealt with" some leaders we didn't like in that past.
