You shouldn't get suspended for calling out nazis or demanding liberty and justice for all, including women. To self-actualize and unfold as each of our unique DNA is meant to, in the short time we are conscious stardust, the cosmos observing itself. This truth sets us free from the supernatural baggage and conditional belonging.

    Not disagreeing with you, that indeed is how some of those mods behave.

    It's just that I've been around this place long enough not to write off the instance, nutomic or dessalines over it. That's a personal decision of mine, but you or anyone else can make a different decision for themselves.

    .ml is fine generally, this is coming from someone who was tempbanned from .ml communities for stupid reasons

    Every instance has its quirks, you determine whether if you want to engage with any particular moderation scheme.

    • Lemmy.blahaj.zone has zero tolerance for anti-trans sentiment and intentional misgendering, to explictly be a LGBTQ+ safe space.
    • Lemmy.ml has less tolerance for anti-Russia and anti-China views due to its Marxist Leninist origins but isn't too bad otherwise.
    • Feddit.org follows German law which blurs the line between anti-Israel commentary and antisemitism.
    • Lemmy.ca is not an unconditional free speech haven either, the server's existence is contingent on following Canadian laws including ones barring hate speech.

    you know how if you actually read the articles posted to reddit instead of just the titles, you're more informed than a good 90% of the comments? that percentage is even higher on lemmy.

    Hello young Lemming.

    Until you say otherwise, we will suppose you like to eat beans, to compute with Linux and to watch Star Trek. Lemmy is a part of the fediverse which is a facinating piece puzzle of software to learn about. You absolutly don't need to to use Lemmy though... All you need to know is that there is tiny little websites called instances working together to make Lemmy. You barely notice which one you access but many lemmings will proudly tell you where you are. Each instance has its own moderation team and rules so check it before writting in a new community (equivalent of sub) and relax 'cause one mod won't ruin you experience.

    Here is a first community go explore !superbowl@lemmy.world. Ask for recommandation.

    Enjoy!

    Because you are obsessed with tankies to an unhealthy degree, we all deserve clarity on what a tankie is and why I am being accused of being one for finding y'all annoying.

    So what is it? What makes me a tankie? Put your money where your mouth is.

  • You're welcome!

    It will also help greatly to curate your feed. I assume you currently browse /all. Start subscribing to the communities you like, and in a few weeks you can start browsing /subscribed instead, just hitting /all when you run out of content or are looking for new stuff.

    Additionally, don't be shy with the block community button. Block the comms that you have no interest in even if you don't dislike them. Nobody's getting hurt feelings over it.

    Assuming you're on lemmy, it will only block the communities hosted on the instance, which is pretty equivalent to the communities the users mod. It will not stop you from seeing posts and comments by those users in other communities on other instances. That's generally fine though, they're usually a lot less aggravating outside their native environment (mostly because if they say stupid things they get shouted and downvoted down to hell).
