I know, lemmy.ml is kind of cheating. I just thought this was a little interesting.
Also, almost all of the upvotes for my comment came from lemmy.ml. I think as time goes on, the narrative is getting punctured despite these guys’ best efforts.
Unless you’re part of the .ml in-crowd and get a little too spicy for their taste in a thread, then they dish out 24 hour “Pwease chill 🥺👉👈, others are watching” bans slaps on the wrist lol
Shocked you weren’t permabanned from that instance long ago.
Me too tbh. I’m not trying to extraneously do anything offensive, but I don’t think it is good practice to adjust your opinions so you won’t be banned by the opinion police, so I don’t, which to some instances / communities here seems to create this constant recurring crisis.
Actually I do feel like people constantly griping about how ban-happy Lemmy.ml is has had a certain positive impact on how ban-happy they are willing to be. Which is more or less how it’s supposed to work, when the social contract and networks of respect and criticism are intact.
I’m shocked!
Shocked you weren’t permabanned from that instance long ago. Maybe admin privilege at work.
But yeah I mean PTB obviously, barely even worth saying since it applies to almost every ban on that instance.
They rarely permanently ban users. Tons of 1-2 week bans, though. More “get in line” than “get out.”
They banned cm0002, and breadsmasher after he commented “and .ml is the tankie instance” in a thread I made.
Well… that’s not all that cm0002 has said about Lemmy.ml - that might just have been the straw that broke the camel’s back, so to speak:-).
e.g. search the Fediverse for the word “tankie” and their post is literally the top one:-). (And many others below that too)
They are a tankie instance though. This is a factual statement, not an insult.
An insult would be “ML is infested with degenerate tankie scum”.
To a tankie, facts are worse than insults.
I’ve been banned for a long long time because of a comment i made in a different instance.
