Just curious if anyone has experienced this and is this common for communities in the .ml domain?
I mean it’s awfully pathetic.
Edit: Well, thanks for answering my question, especially the guy from .ml. Good to know what the behavior in general is over there.
Just happened to me today (not for the first time) when I questioned somebody’s idiotic meme with a post that just said “What is this slop?” which was apparently worthy of removal. Even mild criticism is not ok with them because their bubble is very, very thin.
It’s fine, whenever it happens it reminds me to block the community and the author. I recommend you do something similar to make Lemmy a nicer place to be.
I know better than to engage with those… people. But sometimes I don’t notice the domain on the community I’m reading from the All feed. Wish there was a way to just hide everything from those instances on my feed (without standing up my own instance).
Funny to see this come around every month or so when a new group of people come in and think “hey this is an interesting sub, let me joint this discussion!” and then come the questions.
In summary: don’t go to hexbear, lemmygrad, and the .ml instances, they are silly places
I’ve actually been using lemmy for a while, I guess I’ve just been lucky enough to have never comment in one of these in all that time. But live and learn and good to know.
Did you make excuses for genocide OP?
So yes. ml is a lot trigger happier on genocide apologists.
That is normal .ml behaviour.
Defederate? 👉👈🥺 (Jokus)
If there were a strong call for it from the userbase…
It would be interesting to see. Most of the tech ml communities have an alternative nowadays (!linux@programming.dev , !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com , etc.)
And of course the most important community, !bogengemeinschaft@feddit.org
Well good to know. I mean I thought r/conservative was bad but damn apparently that community is the other side’s mirror.
Tankies are basically the same as right wingers or conservatives, they just root for the other imperialist empire.
At .ml? Oh boy. Did you say that Russia and China aren’t communist utopias?
Shit, I guess I really should avoid .ml then considering my own background on China.
I made the bannable error apparently by making my first post there stating that Arab Americans for Trump, sorry for Peace, did shoulder some blame for the 2024 election, provided some stats showing that their efforts likely affect Michigan and that they would have to live with the consequences of their decisions.
Good ban from .ml. If only our mods were this based.
The problem is that you are blaming the voter instead of the party. Further you are blaming arabs for not voting for the genocide of arabs. The party failed you but not providing a platform that could succeed.
And here we go again.
Regardless of who you want to blame, voter, non-voter, party, voter suppression, Cthulhu, it’s pathetic and sad that a community would be immediately banning a person, removing the comment, and not have an actual discussion. I mean that’s what I would expect of snowflake Republicans and being on r/conservative.
Honestly you sound like a dick we wouldn’t want around anyway. Sometimes people get banned to maintain the community atmosphere tbh.
But also they probably just considered you racist for blaming arabs
Jesus, I thought people were joking or exaggerating but here you are…
I guess I can’t ask you if you’re just trolling to make the hard Left seem crazy, silly and generally unpleasant…
Its annoying because the policies I believe in are hard left, more liberal than some of these mfs, but the left always eats itself, no solidarity, its easier to talk to conservatives, versus liberals who will argue with me while literally agreeing with me
Idk how they went so hard to the left they turned right and said vote trump
Leftists just want spaces where we don’t have to hear liberals and fascists make excuses for the american empire or blame its actions on marginalized groups. Thats genuinely it, we are allowed to maintain those spaces and kick people out of them for that purpose. Every instance does this to some degree, there are just significantly more of y’all than us, so we have to do it more.
Naw, you’re confusing or conflating hate speech with disagreement.
They are very different things. And to some extent, I get it, just like the trump bubble, things are easier when you are safely coccooned away from anything that challenges the narrative. I just don’t have much respect for it from either side.
Way to make their point for them.
I simply don’t view it as pathetic and think they can get over it
Don’t view what as pathetic? Get over what?
Why are mods and admins ban happy on .ml?
Okay there bucko. Pretty big brained leap to go from the idea of pointing out a specific group Arab Americans who endorsed Trump has to shoulder some of the blame for giving Trump the power to ethnically cleanse Gaza and turn it into Mar-a-Lago II fascist boogaloo equates to being racist there.
Damn, if that’s the “atmosphere” then I guess it no better than r/conservative.
You aren’t missing out on anything then
Clearly not anything of value there if this is the average user.
If you don’t want to be treated the way Stalinists treat dissenters, don’t voluntarily put yourself in places where Stalinists set the rules.
It wouldn’t be a Reddit replacement without power tripping mods.
I caught a ban for stating that Linus Torvalds is legally obliged to respect US sanctions against Russia.
This seems like standard behavior for .ml.
How does US have legal authority over open source or a Finn?
He was born a Finn, but last I checked he is a US citizen and Oregon resident by choice.
In 2004, Torvalds moved with his family from Silicon Valley to Portland, Oregon.
In 2010, Torvalds became a United States citizen and registered to vote in the United States.
US can order Taiwan and NL because they use tech that was licensed by US with that condition. Does GPL have US jurisdiction forbidding contributions?
GPL licensing on Linux has no effect on these sanctions.
Linux is a piece of software, owned by its individual authors and contributors, but published by Linus. Linus makes every decision about what is and is not in Linux.
Here’s how the “sanctions” usually work: the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) publishes a list called the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List. This list contains named individuals, businesses, and organizations that are not American (foreigners only. US Citizens are not supposed to be on the list). It is illegal for any US citizen or US business to transact business with anyone named on SDN. There are severe civil and criminal penalties for the US person if they’re not doing due diligence to check their international contacts against the list.
Now how does this affect Linux? It doesn’t affect Linux the project or any of the code. But it does mean that Linus the person can’t accept contributions from SDN persons. Linus’s lawyers have advised him that that would be a “business transaction” within the terms of the law.
Could Linus go in court make an argument that this sanctions regime violates his first amendment rights? Maybe. But I guarantee that would be a big hassle for him and Linux Foundation lawyers.
Could Linux the project restructure itself so that Linus the American is not making every decision on every contribution? Yes. But that would be a major change in organization.
And the records on the LKML seem to indicate that Linus and Linux leadership are at least politically indifferent to the sanctions in the first place, and possibly mildly supportive. So I doubt they’ll go to any major effort to change things up.
Edit: And finally I want to be clear on this point… Nothing is stopping sanctioned SDN entities from downloading a tarball off of kernel.org and making their own sanctions-busting GPL kernel with blackjack and hookers. That all seems perfectly legal to me.
You literally asked.
How does US have legal authority over open source or a Finn?
My comment was pointing out why he (a Finn) is subject to US law. GPL is GPL, no idea what you’re on about there. He is obligated to follow US law.
It’s .ml, if you’re not banned from there you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and rethink your life.
Go check out !usa@ponder.cat
I wonder if you can turn that ban into a speed run kind of like Club Penguin.
I can’t even imagine what would be happening in that community. I’m sure it’s all completely fair and level headed.
.ml doesn’t need to pretend to be open to all opinions and points of view. The mods prefer to keep it as a leftist space and aren’t interested in entertaining constant liberal commentary. If you think its pathetic then just block the instance and don’t engage.
.worlders always love a good whinge about it though…
yeah but they really shouldnt go around suggesting that instance to ppl if its not for general use and is worse than reddit when it comes to censorship
Its one of the most reccomended ones offsite, half the comments replying will be about how trash it is, anyone sees that comment chain they’ll assume lemmys ass altogether
I couldn’t even if I wanted to since I’m no true scotsman and was banned after a single initial post. Very pathetic of the people there and very sad that the people there are so fragile they can’t handle any sense of dissent. I mean that’s a lot of conservative energy there.
I’d say it’s pretty fragile to make a post about how they banned you as if you’re looking for validation from other users for how pathetic it was. This is a recurring theme on Lemmy.world. You’ll feel right at home on that instance if you don’t like how .ml operates
