This is why some don’t see the problem with .ml, they’re way more subtle. And to those I say look:

This comment was removed by a .ml mod in that thread and the user banned:

And yet, another comment from a .ml user referencing .world instead, but essentially says the same thing as @Fizz@lemmy.nzs comment is allowed to stay up just fine for hours.

Why was that not removed? Where is their ban?

Just .ml Tankie things ig

    Hot take: I mean what are we supposed to do? I’m tired of having to witness the spread of propaganda/misinfo. I’m am even more tired of having to accept the fact that they can suppress and silence any of the smallest scent of opposition against their propaganda.

    They should be defederated from every other instance. How much disinformation is acceptable? how many lies are okay? How many walls of text, questions and bombardment of links meant to stall any debate can pass as valid counterpoints when their objectives are clear?

    I know I can block them but it’s not about me but the fediverse in general. Their mindset is poisonous and completely detrimental to what we are trying to achieve as a collective group.

    I don’t want to instigate any other vote on my instance as I feel like I’ve already gone too far on getting a vote on hex and grad to be settled. I certainly do not want to impose my way of thinking on fellow users of my instance.

    But I don’t want people joining lemmy and having to see or go through this rubbish.

      Do what I’m doing

      • cross-post good content on a .ml sub to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm

      • Keep talking about it, if you notice, whenever someone brings it up they always say shit like “oh you’re bringing it up again, why don’t you block us?” Because they would rather us keep quiet about it.

      • Make memes

      • Documentation, documentation, documentation. If you’re on a .ml thread and you see some removed comments, take a look in the modlog to see what’s up. Screenshot and put it together on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works or heck maybe if you’re just bored just look in the modlog to see if there’s anything interesting. It usually doesn’t take much looking lmao. See a thread where they’re just going off? screenshot and post

      • Warn any potential new users, you would warn a friend coming to your city of the “bad parts of town” so do the same with people coming to Lemmy. If they’re coming from Reddit, they probably know what Tankies are already so even just a quick “The Tankies are on lemmy.ml, Hexbear and grad, but you can do an instance block easy or choose X instance because they defed from them already” can be enough

      I know I can block them but it’s not about me but the fediverse in general. Their mindset is poisonous and completely detrimental to what we are trying to achieve as a collective group.

      I talk about that all the time, I consider the tankies probably the greatest threat to the Lemmy-verse. I worry that if there’s not enough push back we’ll start getting a reputation of being “Voat 2.0”

      I don’t want to instigate any other vote on my instance as I feel like I’ve already gone too far on getting a vote on hex and grad to be settled. I certainly do not want to impose my way of thinking on fellow users of my instance.

      If you feel like it’s getting to be un-welcome, just focus on the above so others can join your calls. .ml really don’t like it when you document their behavior and they always try to discredit it and !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works as a whole and any similar comms for a reason.

      We might not be able to get most instances to defed from .ml and their propaganda, but the next best thing we can do is keep pushing back so any new users can clearly see that it’s not just a bunch of tankies over here
