The shear amount of tankiness over on lemmy.ml is making me seriously consider leaving the platform.

    rather than leaving the platform, find or host yourself an instance that blocks the tankie instances… I’m loving sh.itjust.works so far, which blocks lemmygrad.ml - that’s the beauty of federation

      tfw kbin doesn’t block any instances and just watching the drama of different instances block each other 🍿

        doesn’t Kbin.social block lemmygrad?

        I haven’t really cared to check, but I thought it was the only thing it’s defederated from.

        Hello fellow kbinner… kbinnite… kbinmate… what’s the word we’re calling each other again? Anyway, I feel the same way.
        One of the main reasons why I didn’t choose lemmy was explicitly because the kind of red authoritarian crowd they seemed to attract. Sure, there’s gonna be people like that on kbin as well, but so far it’s been pretty decent from my point of view.
        Ngl, the drama is pretty nice when you’re not involved in it 🍿

          kbinmate is funny. the two I’ve been seeing people use are kbinauts and kbeans. I prefer kbinaut. My decision to join kbin was actually based on the ui; I’m not exactly a fan of the way lemmy is set up. but the weird mod situation over at lemmy.ml also kinda pushed me to kbin.

          kbinger? kbinotreddit?

          I actually started on the lemmy side of things but the politics and drama on beehaw and lemmy.ml just drove me away. It was also crazy to me the devs of lemmy.ml were openly denying genocide and other atrocities (and it some instances almost cheering for that stuff) but beehaw refused to defederate with them. And then what would you know, beehaw defederates from… wait what? lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?? confused_will_smith.jpg

          anyways, the drama and politics are stupid and will drive away new users from joining. the main dev at kbin has been very proactive at answering bug and feature request tickets. Me and some others set up some new kbin instances to help share the load and a few of us devs are hoping to help out ernest with the dev work he has for kbin

      This is happening on lemmy.ml I can cope with there being instances for tankies, what’s bothering me is one of the main instances pretending their not so that they can push straight up recruitment shit at people who don’t know.

        It doesn’t have to be a main instance if enough people come into the other instances, and there’s plenty of content elsewhere. I don’t interact with lemmy.ml at all personally.
