Like, honestly. What a joke of an admin.
Just forget about .ml. you'll be happier
I’m usually on mobile and don’t check what instance a given post is from, I usually only find out it was ml by getting hateful DMs from teenagers and/or getting banned several days later
Totally. Jump in the settings, depending on your app you can instance block
Honestly, the sooner the bigger instances defederate from .ml, the better. It will suck to lose some of those comms, but pretty much all the major ones have replacements on other instances, and defederating from them will force people to go to those replacements.
I too, got the instance wide ban stick for saying .ml mods suck in one of their comms. I was being a dick and deserved the ban (from the comm not the whole instance IMO) for saying that, but with how much they abuse instance bans they deserve to be defederated. Can't say anything even remotely negative about the mods/admins or disagree with their opinions without getting banned from tons of completely unrelated comms.
Let them stew in their own little circlejerk like hexbear. The wider lemmyverse would be better off for it.
Let's extrapolate out from this mods behavior; what does their ideal government look like? Can their ideal government handle honest dissent from affected parties?
Why should anyone show respect to this type of human filth?
The Hammer and the Fickle
What did you do?
Refer to my initial comment in the screenshot, I said that everyone but keyboard warrior tankies get banned from .ml eventually. Admin proceeded to immediately prove my point-again.
I think this is a script/bot
It not a script. It's how lemmy handles instance bans
I've only seen that on a few instances now, and all of them are pretty close to what .ml is... Was that in a recent update or what exactly? Cause its not actually how lemmy handles bans, at least it wasn't until recently.
Yes that's version 0.19.5 which not everyone has updated to
If so still big ew.
It’s probably a script. Unless you’re saying I’m a bot, in which case beep boop hello fellow human
Nah i mean this type of ban behavior. Ive seen that on other instances as well (absolutely ew) and i think that this action is performed by a bot or user script, is the first ban from the same person? Then it's a script, if not, its a bot that gets triggered by a instance ban.
Dessalines definitely isn’t a bot, he’s one of the main Lemmy devs
You can still have a bot running over the same account.
Ah, fair point
I've been blocking instances with rude people and weird admins. That feature is rather handy
I just blocked .ml entirely, and my feed and experience on Lemmy will be all the better for it.

Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
(caution of bias)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.
