For all your boycotting needs. I’m sure there’s some mods caught in lemmy.ml’s top 10 that are perfectly upstanding and reasonable people, my condolences for the cross-fire.

  1. !memes@lemmy.world and !memes@sopuli.xyz. Or of course communities that rule.
  2. !asklemmy@lemmy.world
  3. !linux@programming.dev. Quite small, plenty of more specific ones available. Also linux is inescapable on lemmy anyway :)
  4. !programmer_humor@programming.dev
  5. !world@lemmy.world
  6. !privacy@lemmy.world and maybe !privacyguides@lemmy.one, lemmy.one itself seems to be up in the air. !fedigrow@lemm.ee says !privacy@lemmy.ca. They really seem to be hiding even from another, those tinfoil hats :)
  7. !technology@lemmy.world
  8. Seems like !comicstrips@lemmy.world and !comicbooks@lemmy.world, various smaller comic-specifc communities as well as !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee
  9. !opensource@programming.dev
  10. !fuckcars@lemmy.world

(Out of the loop? Here’s a thread on lemmy.ml mods and their questionable behaviour)

    Asklemmy.ml” just asked about if anyone had been at any important event televised events.

    Mmmm. Guess what.

    I mentioned Tiananmen Square 1989: INSTA-BAN!!!

    It would be funny if it wasn’t such a horrible thing.

    OpenMW’s official Lemmy community has been on lemmy.ml since 2021, way before lemmy.world existed (and most other instances, too), and way before there was any inter-instance drama. It’s becoming increasingly likely that it’s not going to be a suitable long-term home, but we’d be much happier if we could migrate the existing community rather than start from scratch with a new one. Is there any way to do that yet?

    Love seeing this happen. That shithole needs to be defederated. The mod logs are FULL of butthurt mods banning people over and o Ver again for violating the Don’t Post Shit We Don’t Like rule, or… “Rule 1” to everyone else.

      You can migrate your subscriptions in the settings (import / export as a JSON file, easier to do on a computer).

      You would lose your comments and posts history, but you can refer to the old account on your new account so that people curious would know it’s you. Also, if you keep the same name and avatar, most of the people wouldn’t notice.

    We getting one of these a day now?

    If you don’t like it, petition your admins (via posts on your own instance) to defed.

    If they don’t want to, find a new instance that does, or stay and block their instance so you don’t see their subs.

    If you want to build up alternatives, post and comment so they’re more active.

    I just don’t see the point of these posts when most Lemmy users have been around for a while and know what lemmy.ml is like by now.

    Be the change you want to see, post in those communities yourself instead of these daily announcements threads on an instance that’s already defederating apparently

      Lemm.ee will not defederate over tankie mods, there’s a specific policy. As to the change I want to see: Guess what I did just before I posted the list, go through all my subscription and clean it of lemmy.ml.

      I very much doubt there’s going to be one a day, these kinds of things tend to ebb and flow. Also it would’ve been much faster to ignore this thread than to reply.

        Ok?

        So if you disagree with their policy enough, you can change instances.

        Or you can stay, and build up those alternative communities instead of asking people to do it for you.

        Like, the logic behind this isn’t difficult, and I thought you’d be able to grasp it.

        That’s why I bothered to reply, instead of just blocking you. Same chance I gave some of the lemmy.ml subs before blocking their instance.

        You’re handling it about as well

          So if you disagree with their policy enough, you can change instances.

          You can move your home instance where you log in? Explain how. That was going to be one of things I suggest you could do in future updates.

          Not that I would move right now. I’m happy on Lemmy.World but I’d like the option.

            I mean. Since you asked so politely…

            You can export your settings in a .json file, then create a new account on a new instance an import your settings.

            But like, you need to try and be better when you’re asking people for help.

      these daily announcements threads on an instance that’s already defederating apparently

      Where has LW announced that they would be defederating?

      If you want to build up alternatives, post and comment so they’re more active.

      Which is what they are trying to achieve by promoting those communities in this post?

        People kept saying it one of the recent daily threads people have been making.

        Which is what they are trying to achieve by promoting those communities in this post?

        You think posting repetitively here is the same as:

        If you want to build up alternatives, post and comment so they’re more active.

        How does that make sense?

        But if you want to move discussion off their communities make posts in those alternatives. That would actually do something.

        These posts are Susan G Kommen levels of difference making…

      I got here about a month ago. I only found out what lemmy.ml was like BECAUSE of these kinds of posts.

        You should read the sidebar’s at least, they’re heavily biased, but upfront about it.

        It’s been their safe space longer than most other instances have been around. It’s also a good idea to look at modlogs when coming across a new sub/instance.

        Not everything shows up there though. Like if someone is banned and has all their content removed, it won’t all show up in the log. But when individual comments are removed, it’ll show you what was said.

        Don’t just assume everyone online will be upfront about their biases

        Criticizing China on lemmy.ml goes about as well as evangelizing crypto on awful.systems. Join an instance that shares your values or roll your own. Know your audience or get the hammer.

        It’s like a huge chunk of the population out here has never experienced a forum before.

          It is far more than just that. Removing comments is one thing, mass-banning from many communities at once despite never even having commented in them at all is another, but the real issue is using database manipulation to delete the log entries as to why the comments were removed after the fact.

          Even if unintentional, which strains credulity, this is some spez-level stuff going on, edit: where we have the option to either take what a single person (who does not seem inclined to follow their own stated rules) offers, or else we can leave. Many are choosing the latter, and like the Rexodus, making the situation known to others as well in the process.

          “Criticizing China” was merely the spark that lit the match, with the situation offering proof of what apparently people have been suspecting for some time now.

    So, I’ve been on lemmy.world since I joined last year and everyone’s saying it’s too big. Lemmy.ml is the next-largest so I’m conflicted. What do?

      Join literally any other server.

      That’s the point of distributed networks they’re supposed to be distributed if 80% of the content is on two servers that’s not distributed. People should move off ml and world regardless of their politics simply because it’s not a good idea to have everything all in one place.

      I think it’s good to have regular outreach. I just subscribed to the linux community from this one.

      The other post also has me considering moving my account to a different instance. There were some compelling arguments against centralizing on lemmy.world. (I don’t strongly disagree with the moderation here but I do somewhat disagree with centralizing admin power like on reddit.)

      I wouldn’t mind seeing these regularly. But maybe it would be nice to have someone make specific accounts for that purpose so you can easily block them out of your feed.
