Does "be civil" include constantly shitting on huge groups of users just because of the instance they created their account on? There's a very simple solution for this if you truly believe an entire instance is worthless and it's called the blocking function, but I suppose that'd stop the joy you get out of loudly complaining about that instance repeatedly.

    .world consistently removes memes calling out their own communities. But they leave up any "meme" bashing .ml

    But theres a difference, when a .world mod defends genocide or promotes imperalism you know its ok because its in the name of Western Democracy ™. Tbh .ml and .world are basically in a competition on who can fling the most shit and who can bootlick the hardest.

    As does ml. Worse even. But the fact that both do is a defense of neither. So I'm not sure why you even bring it up. Be better. World isn't tied to any particular political ideology. Ml 100% is. And if you mention absolute documented facts. You can and will be banned from there. Because the facts go against the narratives. World has its problems. But I haven't seen anything approaching that yet.

    i assume "be civil" just means that you can't call people "dipshit asshole dumbass idiot" and things akin to that, i.e needless name calling, calling out perceived problems as long as done civilly, or being rude, but in a civil discussed manner, is i think fair game.

    i.e. i could call this a stupid post because it covers what should be clearly demonstrated by common moderation history, i.e. these kinds of threads stay around for a while, these kinds of comments tend to stick around, and that's generally good enough reason to keep moderating as you are, precedent is a very strong thing.

    but i couldn't just call you a dumbass because you should know this, and therefore you must be the most uneducated person in the history of humanity. Because that's not civil.

    a) Huge groups of users well known to spread the promotion, praise and propaganda of dictatorships and other authoritarian governments, bigotry, racism and transphobia. Even when there are hard facts against them.

    b) The Lemmy blocking function isn't anywhere as good as you think it is. Maybe even by design, the main admin on .ml is also the lead dev of Lemmy after all.

    If you're mad at lemmy.ml users for doing those specific, detestable things, why not make make the meme to be about lemmy.ml users doing those specific, detestable things instead of any lemmy.ml user making any comment?

    1. I actually didn't make this meme, I cross posted it from someone else on !memes@sopuli.xyz

    2. It's not like it's a minority of users on .ml doing it that the admins/mods just haven't brought the ban hammer down on. The admins are part of the problem along with mods cultivate the toxic tankie culture that gets shit on. It's the non-tankie .ml users who are in the minority, they should have chosen a better crowd to hang with.

    yeah uh, that's the joke. That's the obviously implication of the joke here.

    That's like saying that "all murderers are bad" and then me going "well hey don't you think is a little bit broad of a generalization? And unfair to people who were unfairly charged, or perhaps in inconvenient but justified circumstances?"

    You could make the meme say "lemmy.ml tankies running free posting tankie bullshit" but that doesn't roll as well as "lemmy.ml doing tankie things because lemmy.ml seems to have no problem with tankies existing"

    It did neither of those things though, so that's irrelevant. It just says it's a comment.

    Can you point me to any member of these "huge groups of well known users" spreading bigotry, racism, and transphobia?

    First rule of using Lemmy: If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they’re lying.

    "Well known" is so patronizing. It's like OP is saying "yeah, everyone knows about this, what are you, some kind of loser?". Another one of those phrases that immediately discredits whatever allegation is to follow.
