I haven’t used lemmy up until this point. They pose as a general purpose instance and are the 2nd largest lemmy instance at that. I knew the lemmy devs had their preferences but I didn’t know they would let it effect their moderating so strongly.

Ah I see. Good thing someone continued it tho!
They banned me recently since I was writing a comment talking about how many “memes” on !memes@lemmy.ml are oftentimes not even memes and just unfunny pushing communist agenda and how I was thinking about blocking the instance. It got a bit too many upvotes from them and I ended up getting banned. So in response I made this meme and posted it to !linuxmemes@lemmy.world
What happened to Kbin btw? I used to be on there since the start but the page has been broken since a while for me
I mean I feel like many or even most memes there are fine, just those few in between are annoying to me. I’m over it but I was still kinda annoyed initially
Its just that ml mentions itself being a general lemmy instance. Their description on join-lemmy.org is “A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers”. I’m a FOSS and privacy enthusiast who likes Lemmy. I just happen to not like communism agenda pushed when I scroll through some memes. I definitely wouldn’t say I’m some uncivil person. Sucks for me that ml is the second largest instance and they have the biggest memes community.
You have me agreeing with you on that one!
Wait I checked and now im just banned from !memes@lemmy.ml but not from lemmy.ml as a whole. My comment wasn’t low effort tho. I was just mentioning how I dislike communist violent revolution fantasy getting posted over and over as “memes” when they aren’t ironic or satirical.
I wish you’d differentiate between instance and community. I didn’t just get banned from that specific community but from the whole instance permanently without explanation. I mean I guess I don’t mind that much in retrospect but it did mildly annoy me since I like commenting and lemmy doesn’t have that much content to begin with compared to the likes of reddit.

Yeah I feel that… I like discussing novel ideas how things can be done different. I once had a longer discussion with one of the aforementioned users but I knew there was no point once they started denying mass starvation in the soviet union and the human rights infringements. I wish it could be different but I guess you gotta pick your poison whether or not to see these communities. Also I don’t get them claiming china being supposedly communist when its really not but oh well…
I block it since I’m not here for revolutionary fantasy. I am not the second biggest lemmy instance. The arguments I’ve had with people from that community are barely worth my time and I don’t feel like seeing this type of content. You can block me, I don’t care. Users choose to see by their preference but relevant instances should have coherent rules and not just political agenda by whom they allow and block. That’s just my take on that tho!
Gotte be Fairphone. I bought the FP5 when it was out pretty new from Murena. It came with a de-googled android rom called /e/ preinstalled. Couldn’t be happier. I love the way you can just open the back and exchange any part with a simple phillips head screwdriver as well as exchangeable batteries. It’s still splash resistant tho. I love knowing neither google nor apple are tracking me and supporting open source software monetarily. It works a bit different from stock android but its nice to use. I also like how they have long software support and care about where their parts are sourced. For their performance they might be a bit pricy but it aligns with my ideals so I support it.
Damn, I didn’t expect to get this insightful knowledge about womens takes on DP today!
It will definetly hinder its growth. I hope the ml instance just gets mostly irrelevant when instances that allow for more free speech can grow accordingly. They might create a stronger cesspool of likemineded tankies but it hurts the overall platform
