People see what they want to see? I’ve seen content I don’t agree with on several instances but the main reason I’ve got my main on lemmy.ml over Beehaw is because it annoys me greatly that there’s so often posts I don’t see that are relevant to me or just communities that seem accessible but inactive but are actually blocked without the interface saying so. This spuriously makes it seems as if a community is dead.
To avoid ambiguity: Trump is a sentient lump of metastatic cancer and many right leaning people are limp-dick insecure ignorant assholes.
Their defense mechanism is just to simply ban what they don’t like. Sooner or later, their little walled garden is going to start smelling like shit from the smug arrogance of all the fart-smellers that pretend to have a clue.
Must be exhausting to continously maintain your campaign against .ml
Why not just block and move on with your life?
whats wrong with ml?
I don’t get it. Where is loss?
Whats the issue with ml?
They ban everything that disagrees with pro-Russian/Chinese propaganda.
The ml stands for Marxist-Leninist, and the admin (and creator of Lemmy) named themself after a genocidal warlord
Openbsd?
Just block the instance, makes you happier and the trolls are left without food.
i blocked the triad of tankies when someone reccomended it a few months ago, plus any conservative ones. and any users trying to infiltrate from those instance into the other ones that defederated with them.
Piefed and .world the ultimate lost Redditor starterpack.
You’re on .world though.
That’s how we know
You forgot “Joined 2 years ago”
Hey!
I dont get this
They think being against authoritarians means you’re a Reddit-style neoliberal.
I think it’s more about tribalism. I have seen both good and bad takes on both .ml and .world. I think Lemmy is slowly losing the civil conversations that could be had here before.

Do you not remember the chaos back in 2023 and 2024?
It’s become much more civil, not less.
Every time I see an anti-.ml meme I wonder, why are people so worried about people seeing .ml content? If they’re jerks, wouldn’t you want people to stumble into .ml and find out?
Anti-leftism is an all consuming, load-bearing pillar of fascism. Since .ml is tangentially leftist aligned…

litewally im in the anti-bad guy good guys cwub, if you’we not in the anti-bad guy good guy cwub ur litewally a bad guy
Edit: in before the guy who originally made this joke is litewally a bad guy. Ok, I don’t know him, it is just a relevant joke
Authoritarians are not leftists LMAO
You’re right. The people who spent all of 2024 demanding unquestioning devotion to genocide supporters are not leftists.
Before I found out, I would have preferred to find out naturally. After I did stumble in and find out, I wished somebody had warned me.
Oh poor thing, you’ll recover from the trama someday.
Roughly in about the timeframe you would remove the pointy tree branch from prostate that’s making you such a condescending cunt. 😢 sorry if I don’t hold my breath
During the Reddit exodus, there were lots of complaints about left wing extremism. Most of them were landing on ml, grad or hexbear. This isn’t a good thing in the long run, so the bad press is necessary; otherwise this place risks being branded as “tankie HQ” before we can get some real traffic here.
Tbf this place was programmed by volunteer “tankies.”
better than landing in fascist, neo-reddit instances like .world.
fascist
Fascism is a specific thing actually
Left wing extremists are much better than the right wing variety, yes?
The barrel of the gun we’re left looking down looks the same
They’re the same picture.
You need glasses
Centrists seem to be able to differentiate when they’re deciding who to listen to.
It’s never anyone to their left.
No one “worries” about seeing it. It’s that if you engage with anyone from, or anything posted in, a .ml, about any topic at all, you’ll eventually be hit with “capitalism causes all problems in the universe” or the rest of their standard “I’m 19 and this is deep” tankie talking points like some mandatory checklist of things they have to cram into every post or they get kicked out of the instance. It’s exhausting and pointless. No one runs around elsewhere in Lemmy making it a point to defend capitalism, so it’s just of a constant eye-roll when “I’m an independent thinker! Here’s the same thing we all say!” happens.
Edit: OOOh, seems like I struck a nerve, eh?
No one “worries” about seeing it.
Then block them and quit whining that people don’t like exploitation as much as you.
Did you know the explaining the thing doesn’t mean one endorses the thing? Did you know that explaining the thing isn’t “whining” about it, but, in fact, is explaining the perspective of another person? It’s important to learn about other perspectives, even if you don’t like them.
I find it mildly annoying, but not bad enough to bother blocking anyone.

This sure sounds like whining. Because that’s all you’re doing. How dare people to your left not immediately kill themselves for your comfort.
capitalism causes all problems in the universe
It’s well known that black holes use Hawking radiation as a currency and hire quasars to do menial labor.
I’m gonna make this into a poster or smthing, I love almost snorted my tea from laughter.
Please do, my words are free to all to use.
Don’t you just love when they tell on themselves?
When people post comments like yours or memes like the above it really comes off as defending capitalism and the status quo…
Don’t you understand how mypoic a view that it? How dependent it is on you thinking you have an absolute lockdown on ALL ideas there can be, and that anyone who isn’t you is against you? Only a fool would think that everything is split in perfect dualism and that you’re the only one that’s right.
It’s basically the same thing I see from super evangelical family members. If it’s not something they like, it’s “from Satan.” Is that really a behavior you’re trying to emulate? That level of absolutism and rigidity of thought?
FFS, both Lenin and Marx warned you about the dangers of rigid thinking. And here you are, doing exactly that! You’re not even a good Marxist!
You clearly haven’t engaged with anything, and lol @ “independent thinker” from someone defending the dominant economic and political system, which fyi is exactly what you’re doing
haven’t engaged with anything
lmao. Not sure what’s funnier here, that you apparently don’t exist according to your comment, or that it’s basically “Nuh-UH, YOU’RE STUPID!”
lol @ “independent thinker”
Speaking of which, where exactly did I defend anything? Quote the specific text.
Here, I’ll help. I said:
No one runs around elsewhere in Lemmy making it a point to defend capitalism,
Including me.
I explained how someone else might arrive at the place where the original meme was made. People on .ml instances are not some fully complete and perfect opposite pole of the Western world. Y’all have some opinions, and that’s not even the problem. You’re super annoying with how you try and force them on people.
Like how you’re literally lying and angry about the fact that not everyone likes how you communicate. Your ideas aren’t the problem, how you talk about them is the problem.
Fun fact: Explaining the biology of a seagull to someone doesn’t make me a seagull. If I ask you to explain how a microwave works, shall you become a microwave?
Goddamn you’re dumb
The dominant economic and political system is mixed and always has been.
Lol no, it’s currently capitalism
It’s not about the economic system, it’s the constant china glazing
It absolutely is about the economic system, and the “china glazing” is a direct response to US propaganda
china glazing" is a direct response to US propaganda
Cringe
So your response to people glazing the usa is glazing an authorization country. And you wonder why people don’t like ML?
No, it’s not about the economic system. Christ knows communists aren’t in short supply on lemmy, if that was true you’d see more support. Don’t kid yourself.
No, people are attacking China with misinformation created and distributed by the US specifically because their economic system represents an existential threat to our own
You can be anti-capitalist without sucking China’s scrotum.
ah, classic ml. Genocide deniers
.ml is just the latest designated “tankie” instance. So far it’s the third one. Once .world defederates from .ml, the same people who currently hate .ml will designate another “tankie” instance to hate.
People designated .ml as a tankie instance for very good reason: the admins of .ml have repeatedly shown to be pro-authoritarian.
For years now I’ve seen incessant gaslighting from tankies pretending that “tankie” is some catch-all term baselessly thrown around like “woke”. However, I’ve pretty much exclusively seen the term “tankie” used to describe people who support authoritarian regimes/dictatorships.
There was a few people calling dbzer0 a tankie instance, when it’s an anarchist instance.
An ‘anarchist’ instance which claims to oppose genocide, yet allows genocide denial if it’s painted red, and where the admins deny UN verified sexual assault.
Fantastic.
Yeah we’re somehow Tankies for wanting democrats to try harder and saying we need to do more then vote.
I don’t support authoritarian regimes, but I get called a tankie plenty by centrists who hate that I don’t support the authoritarian regime that their wing of the party sold weapons to.
“Tankie” is just something the genocide wing calls people who disagree with their only policy.
ah, then my impressions are biased, since I haven’t heard that term outside of Lemmy.
There’s pretty much only one person I know irl that calls themselves a “centrist”.
So .world is extremely anti free speech? Is there an easy way I can block all of .world from my feed then?
This guide is wrote up for those who have a hard time banning .ml and constantly removed about being able to see our content. It could be used to ban .world if you want i guess.
Welcome to a tutorial on how to block .ml on your personal account.
In the top right corner of the top of the page, there are 3 horizontal white bars. Click it.
This will open up a drop down menu. At the bottom of that menu, you will see your username. Click it.
This will open another drop down menu with 3 options. Click “Settings”.
At the top of your screen you will see 2 tabs. Click the one that says “Blocks”.
Here you will see “Block user” “Block community” and “Block instance”. Click the down arrow below “Block instance”.
This will open up a search bar. Type “lemmy.ml” and click it after it shows up.
That’s it! You’ve blocked .ml and will never see content from the instance. Now you don’t need to make a feud post every day complaining about .ml and other instances you disapprove of. Think of all the time you will save!
But wait, we aren’t done yet in this menu. Click the down arrow under “Block user”. Now type “UltraGiGaGigantic” Make sure you select my .ml account as the other ones I no longer use. Thanks, appreciate it.

That’s not enough for the centrists. They don’t want anyone to be allowed to be exposed to any idea to their left. Under any circumstances.
Yes, you can block it in settings.
Free speech means that you can speak your opinion freely without the state (country…) punishing you for it.
Free speech doesn’t mean I have to listen to/read everything.
And yes, you can block the whole of lemmy.world easily, if you want to.
Didn’t ask what you wish I meant by “free speech” or what you’re glad I don’t mean by it.
Would thank you for answering what I asked if you didn’t waste my time answering (with fucked up wording) those 2 un-asked questions first
I did answer with these statements on your first question. Regarding the second one, sorry I’m not the tech support.
Why do you want to block an instance? You don’t like free speech?
People who rant about “free speech” typically mean “hate speech” but don’t have the balls to just call it that.
Wow you really wasted 5 seconds reading a lemmy reply
Interesting way of reasoning: “They are bad because they block stuff they don’t want to read, so I block them because what they do is stuff I don’t want to read.”
Shouldn’t you be blocking yourself if you follow that way of reasoning?
There’s a lot of users there who would very much prefer that no one to their left (and only their left) should be permitted to speak.
Your reply comes form there but will probably be the last post I see from there because I’m gonna go ahead and block the instance. Unless that still lets replies come through (fine with me, main feed is more my focus)
Oh look, someone else to block.
Do you announce every button you press?
“Hitting the reply button below your comment!”
“Typing my comment!”
“Clicking Reply!”
Yes they do, that’s how they operate. It’s just showing off they don’t like new viewpoints.
Another!
Nobody cares who you block
Up row: python (?) openBSD
Low row: (?) lemmy
Okey
Did you read the subtitle? xD
OpenBSD
Why do so many tankies hang out on a Mali top level domain?
Marxism-Leninism
Wait… Is this actually why they chose the “ml” domain?
Its actually because it was free at the time.
Yeah. I expected it to be machine learning related at first.
Asked an older colleague what he associated with ml. Straight to marxist-leninism. (To the east of the curtain)
Thanks for the laugh.
This comment section is solid gold. You’ll be able to come back and harvest new posts any time you want until they lock it, if they don’t it’s gonna go for days and just pick up steam.
Great job my man!
