When lemmy.ml answer detected:

I don’t have an issue with lemmy.ml users but that’s because I don’t use sweeping generalizations. I’ve had perfectly acceptable conversations with people across all kinds of instances.

I’m not a tankie but am a fan of parts of communism and I like socialism.

Non-tankies on .ML getting upset at this:

You might not be an idiot, but you're wearing a T-shirt that says "I AM AN IDIOT" in bold letters across your chest. Maybe change your shirt. 🤷🏻‍♂️

relatable

:(

All tankie users are in .ml, but not all .ml users are tankies.

You should always judge the merit of the comment, not whether or not the person is from .ml. If you see a comment that is pro-CCP or pro-Kremlin from an .ml user, then the point of the meme is valid. But a well-thought, benign, good-faith or wholesome comment from an .ml user should not be dismissed.

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.

Developer: makes platform

End User: "Fuck you."

Tale as old as time.

worth .003$ vs a hexbear user

As a resident of a politically indifferent instance that is on good terms with everyone, I can say one thing:

Fuck absolutely everyone who turns Lemmy into yet another Internet battlefield.

Leave .ml alone. Leave Hexbear alone. Even yes - leave Lemmygrad alone. People there will not change their opinion when facing hatred, and newbies coming there doesn't change the big picture, as Lemmy is federated and they can figure stuff out for themselves.

Trying to silence entire instances, especially the biggest ones, is absolutely not a welcoming picture to whoever's coming here, and being cut out and filtered for happening to choose the "wrong" instance is the worst possible greeting.

I am .NL not .ML please don't hate on me dyslexic lemmys

1. Why does everyone have beef with lemmy.ml
2. Why don't you just block the instance

Edit: thank you for real responses, got so used to be people getting pissed for no reason on social media that I was genuinely surprised to check Lemmy and see a bunch of genuine answers with no butthurt to be seen

I don't care about all the politics and shit regarding instances, i just want to use lemmy :(

Ah yeah. Good old fashioned social media toxicity.

Mixed with some old good internal left fighting.

The taste of success. Surely.

Even though I came from reddit, I approach comments on their own merits and I don't downvote just for disagreeing with someone.

We are not the same.

i joined .ml as it was the first instance i come across when trying lemmy out. Iv heard the admins are tankies but to be honest i dont actually know what a tankie is. i just use lemmy to look at memes and follow foss communities. i try to block all political stuff as i want to enjoy my exprience and stay ignorant to the politics here.

That's a bit harsh if you ask me. Back in 2021 there wasn't many Lemmy servers for register.

You can scroll through my 1.400 comments and don't find a tankie-like comment.

Btw. Lemmy.ml is the dev server, every new update and feature starts here.

Why tho? I'm having trouble figuring out the differences in instances

love me a classic .ml worthless posting, it's my favorite.

hmm, I wonder why .ml dislikes .world so much. It couldn't possibly have to do with us shitting on them so much.

I was on ml and it was pretty chill for a non-tankie. Until a mod powertripped and ban me for insulting an homophobe. Some people like me join the instance without knowing of all this tankie thing. IMO, hexbear is far more toxic.
