I've seen around 3 occasions of that this week, altho I have never seen anything like it before.

if I remember correctly they were:

  • smack talking a mod (FlyingSquid) for saying not to report the same comment twice, when they were different comments, and the report was spam
  • someone comparing .world with .ml in politics (as in there was a comment saying "this post will be overrun with .ml people, and then a comment going "but you are from .world") (Maybe Im part of the problem? I have been called out for being a fascist because I questioned the "puching nazis" theme)
  • one more which I can't remember.

Anyways, what is all that about? Are people really starting to hate on 50% of the lemmy population because of their instance?

I made the mistake of being an anarchist on ml and hexbear.

Waay, waaaaaay too many tankies getting insanely pissed off and swarm when you criticize (point out obvious facts, really) any non US/Western countries or allies along anarchist lines.

It rapidly devolves into idpol, rants and tirades that are barely related to the topic or comment, Fox News style 'I'm just asking questions in good faith' which are obviously not in good faith if you're older than maybe 10.

I dare someone to go ml or grad or hex and attempt to have a serious and thorough conversation about the Sino-Vietnamese war. Or Uighurs. Or the Holodomor. Or whether the concept of self-determination applies to Ukraine, Taiwan, and Palestine at the same time.

I remember at one point explaining a meme that popped up on some China's social media site that boiled down to 'Deng Xiaoping's reforms have led to Chinese women craving giant Black cocks', and all of them being just fine with incels and racism when its not Westerners doing it.

Craziest part is when they horseshoe so hard that you have 'communists' arguing that LGBTQ are degenerate vermin. Although that is more rare, it does happen.

EDIT: Its somewhat sad, as it is great fun when everyone is dogpiling on some new latest insane western neocolonialism or corporate incompetence/hellscape type stuff, but I treat those places like Ravenholm:

We don't go there anymore.

That's an instaban from hb, grad, and .ml, did you report that post?

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

I've seen bans there for Calling out horseshoe theory. As if it's a slur

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

No, I was already banned from a bunch of communities for discussing the aforementioned things and I just blocked the instances ... 6 months ago I think?

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 months ago

Anarchists aren't allowed to report queerphobia on Hexbear. Because Hexbear keeps banning anarchists.

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago

One of the admins, Nakoichi, is an anarchist. But please point me at the queerphobia, I'm not banned from hb, I'll report it, I have faith they'll do something about it.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

This is false. Anti-AES anarchists are banned, because sectarianism is banned.

Drag has no problem with the Advanced Encryption Standard, which is the first Google result for AES.

Actually Existing Socialism, "Communism" as a stage in development hasn't been achieved by any AES state yet.

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz -2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Oh, well drag isn't one of those! Drag thinks communism has existed for 60,000 years in Australia, and a long time in many other places too. It's a shame Russia and China were corrupted by the siren song of state capitalism before they managed to implement the Australian model. If only they'd been more like Catalonia.

Better to die a communist than to engage in trade relations with Nazi Germany during the holocaust.

Or whether the concept of self-determination applies to Ukraine, Taiwan, and Palestine at the same time.

That's the hypocrisy that pisses me off the most. I don't know how someone can support resistance by any means for Palestinians but seriously suggest Ukrainians are nazis for resisting an imperialist invasion.

PS: there's at least 2 anarchist instances on Lemmy 😉

[-] xor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 months ago

Slightly off topic, is db0 one of the anarchist instances you're referring to? I know it's a generally leftist instance, but don't know much more detail than that

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago

Yes, that's my instance :) it's run by anarchists and has an anarchist CoC and general vibe. slrpnk is the second.

[-] xor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 months ago

I'm such a dunce, I didn't spot your username 🤦

Thought I was asking a db0 random, not the NaN himself

[-] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

I like db0 because it reminds of how cool the 'you wouldn't download a car' commercials made piracy look. They were right, it is cool.

If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they’re lying.

The culture where these sorts of blatant lies are accepted without question is my biggest problem with .world. You can have whatever actual beliefs you want, but lying like this is really despicable.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

Please show any sources for this garbage, these are all bannable offenses on Grad, Hexbear, and .ml.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 2 months ago

Oh people have tried I'm sure. They are banned now.:-)

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
