Because lemmy is much smaller, you tend to rub into the same users more often. So if someone comes off as abrasive, blocking them can have a notable impact on your experience.

Dogpiling is worse, and it can pay to know what instance the community you're posting in is, as the games community on hexbear is going to be different than on world.

It's much more "left" than reddit. Notably, while this instance, lemmy.ml, is the flagship instance run by the lead dev, the "ml" stands for marxist-leninist.

And here am I thinking .ml stands for MaraLago!

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

does ml actually stand for marxist-leninist? i remember using domains with .ml tld a long time ago with freenom's $0 domains lol.

[–] bobo1900@startrek.website 1 points 2 weeks ago

Freenom isn't operating anymore and all free .ml domains are deactivated. I always wondered if the where able to keep the lemmy.ml domain because it was premium

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

it's actually the top level domain for Mali

Alright thanks! Also I don't know what marxist-leninist is, but it sounds like politics, so I'm gonna try a few more instances along with this but anyways have a great day! :D

Didn’t take long to get banned for my radical opinion that all forms of Us-vs-Them tribalism are dehumanizing.

it's always the pro-genocide people acting so injured on when the vile stuff they say gets a negative response

Man, you people really don't realize the modlog is public

You are rather quick to assume I am one of the “pro-genocide people”.

Oh, I'm not assuming.

I try not to “both-sides”

"I try to not both-sides this, please ignore that I just did and am about to do so again.

I was trying (poorly) to show that the same standard was not being applied equally.

"Don't you mean all lives matter?"

pretty emotional topic.

It be an emotional topic usually makes people more sympathetic towards the victims of genocide, not more inclined to start going "but what about both sides!"

Anyway, good luck fighting against everyone until they agree with you.

Go back to reddit, you insufferable loser.

Do people not realize that the modlog is public, with their asses hanging out there?

ETA: Oh, I see you’ve already covered this upthread 😂

[–] Camille_Jamal@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

modlog is public

I don't even know what a modlog is lol, but I know that it's public now I guess

also I've seen you a few times, and you seem pretty chill, have a nice day! :D

It’s where the dirty laundry is kept. https://lemmy.ml/modlog
