A warning I guess. I didn’t realize some of the communities were on .ml, which is the devs “flagship” instance so they ban people for saying stuff like “tankies gunna tank”.

It’s best to just block the lemmy.ml instance.

Can you block instances? I never figured out how but that would be super useful.

Why not just stay away from lemmy.ml then? You can start the same communities on another instance. It would be like me going to a Nazi instance and pointing out that they ban anyone that celebrates diversity. Like, yeah… that’s what they do. It’s in their ethos.

You technically can. The issue is that when the average Joe sees five instances of the community they’re looking for, and the highest users/month stat is on .ml, they’ll post there for the most traction. And the problem just self-reinforces from there.

The mods are ensuring people stay away from .ml

Have you earned your ban of honor yet?

Devs are hardcore tankies. It’s unfortunate

We don’t really have a theme in this community so it’s not like it doesn’t fit. But we are pretty united in being against tankies, so…

Oh lemme be clear I’m not saying it should be removed or anything, I just think it’s a bit of an odd space to warn others about tankie behavior or whatever. I admittedly bristle a bit when I see posts complaining about how something is moderated, and while I know they’re part of forums and what-have-you, I don’t think I’ve seen one posted in 196 like this.

So I ask outta curiosity, not condemnation.

I also got banned from all the .ml stuff.

It’s a badge of honor.

Here my comment that triggered their mod:

That’s an incredibly stupid comment though, but congratulations I guess.

Ah, reminds me of the ol’ “How quickly can you get banned from /r/sino?” challenge

Took me one comment and it was a very reasonable one that didn’t bash China even. It was something about decentralizing manufacturing being good because it’s not great that all the world depends on one country to make everything.

So you went into a vegan community or what?

As you can see from the downvotes, this was just a random vegan feeling the need to make themselves heard. The community was “memes”.

It was a very vegan oriented meme though, and the comments were filled with lots of pro vegan comments. But what this guy said was just stupid, hence the score. To get this low I think most vegans were down voting him too.

Vegans are very wierd, but anti-gmo vegans have mental health problems.
