    I was thinking of migrating to .world when I saw how annoying the .ml profanity filter is (“fire removedant”) but now I’m glad I didn’t.

    Edit: oops, right, this is midwest.social. Anyway, I have seen .world ban for the same normie takes but it was only a suspension

      when I saw how annoying the .ml profanity filter is

      The word filter is a blunt instrument applied to a gnarly problem. I still see trolls try to slide malformed vocabulary and coded phrasing to harass .ml users and vex the mods. But how long do you really expect mods/admins to work on the problem of “the perfect phrasing filter” when the root problem is inevitably the assholes who come to spam the chat with hate?

      Just use fire extinguisher or fire suppressant. It’s not like the filter throws the entire post in the trash.

        The one I linked was someone else - I was just talking about in general, banning someone for an opinion of theirs that doesn’t inherently mean they’re a nazi/fascist/communist/etc

        I think .ml ban people too for being anti-communist but even if i knew of a good alternative, i don’t think there’s proper migrating on Lemmy like Mastodon has - only making a new account

          Sh.itjust.works pretty much never bans unless you break international law or spam. Unfortunately that means sometimes Nazis come to this instance but usually they’re bullied out.

          As someone that had a .ml account until it was explained to me that racism is explicitly allowed on ml… it’s okay on this instance. You lose hexbear but that’s the only downside.

          Just never fall for .ee or .world. terrible instances, those.

              Yes, as per their explicit policy, you can never be racist or discriminatory against white people no matter what you say or do.

              Or in other words they believe in the power dynamic version of racism, instead of the idea that racism is discrimination based on race.

                Huh, that’s weird, I don’t see that at all.

                Just “no bigotry,” rule 1.

                I wonder why one of the guys sealioning in defense of Nazis would lie about that?

                  Did you misread what I wrote or what little one? I haven’t been defending Nazis, I personally think all Nazis, including most Israelis and Americans, should be explicitly unabashedly killed after a fair trial by a jury of their victims.

                  That being said being racist towards white people is not against the bigotry rule on ml. You can find this out for yourself, as I did, by reporting instances of it as you find it.

                  If you think you can’t be racist towards white, you’re closer to a Nazi than one of their victims.
