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?

    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.

    My conspiracy is that people are trying to ramp up enough of a campaign to defederate from .ml, not knowing it's history on Lemmy and how most .ml users are actually quite chill and actually genuine people once you get to know them. I mean Jesus Christ guys, .ml users arent all bots.

    .world is much louder than .ml

    Telling my friend, someone I know, is one thing. Buying a billboard is another

    I just don't follow the logic. Let people waunder in to .ml and find out for themselves. Right now it just looks like the libs of .world are trying to censor .ml. What is .world so afraid of? Lemmygrad? That place is hilarious.

    It is censorship.

    Why would I warn my friend? I know their preferences. Why wouldn't I warn the masses? I don't know or care about their preferences. Maybe they'd like .ml, who knows, let them find out on their own.

    The vote ratio on my comments contradict the vote ratio on the post.

    You're assuming preferences of strangers, not cool.

    No one is stopping them

    You are stopping them. You're telling new users to avoid that community, which is probably stopping many. Most people when visiting a new city would listen to someone who suggests avoiding a particular area.

    You're worried about .ml scaring off fediverse users? The fediverse is a big place, with .world being the biggest. If they don't like .ml then they'll find .world. If you're right about .ml then let people find it, promote it even, and they'll bounce to .world if .ml is too mean.

    Y'all making memes about nsfw subs? No, you're not.

    No one “worries” about seeing it.

    Then block them and quit whining that people don't like exploitation as much as you.

    I wrote this as essentially the statistics of interactions,

    And the "19 and edgy" thing? Come on. You're whining because people to your left are allowed to speak and you want permanent silence so you can listen to the fascists on the right.

    And it’s just annoying, no one wants to silence you

    Which is why the previous two "tankie" instances have been defederated. And why, once centrists have their way and .ml is defederated, they're going to pick another instance to designate the "tankie" instance.

    You can block the left you don't want to listen to. Instead, you whine about them because you want them silenced.

    Do you even understand that if we’re communicating with each other, you and your ideas are not “blocked”?

    You can block me if you don't want to hear anything from your left. But blocking isn't enough for you. You can't stand other people being allowed to listen to anyone who disagrees with you, so you're whining in the hopes that people you disagree with will have their opinions removed so no one can read them. That's why you keep whining.

    You won't block people you don't want to hear from because you want others to ban them for you. To censor them for you. To defederate from them for you. If you don't want to hear something, you don't want anyone else to be able to hear it.

    No matter how you try to equivocate and say that some random fandom is comparable, the only real thing that you're mad about is that people like things you don't like and you want it stopped.

    The rest of your comment is the usual "do whatever we order, shut up and never have an idea to the left of netanyahu, and it's all your fault if we lose because you don't love genocide enough" shit that your garbage wing of the party uses as an excuse for never changing.

    You already helped put us where we are, why not keep going?

    Never listen. Never improve. Not like I have to encourage you.

    Friend, seriously, you need to find someone to talk to.

    First of all, the insinuation that I would ever be your friend disgusts me. Following it up with "you're to my left so there must be something wrong with you" gaslighting isn't surprising in the slightest.

    I know things are a wreck right now in general

    And I'm sick of being blamed for it by people who were willing to lose to trump as long as they didn't have to stop supporting the genocide that will always define them as people.

    I don't support extreme actions to enact change, I want to enact change which is met with violence, to which I respond. Look at Allende in Chile being murdered and a Democratic peaceful movement being turned into fascist dictatorship. Look at Mosaddeq in Iran. There are many such cases.

    The system in which we live is already violent. Millions of people are killed needlessly every year by lack of healthcare, poor nutrition and mental health crises, even in developed countries. US economics kic sanctions have been found to kill half a million people yearly for the past 30 years, more than the worldwide deaths due to war during the same period. Ending this violence is the peaceful alternative.

    This doesn't stand materialist scrutiny. You don't get an authoritarian state directed by a bunch of egotistic bureaucrats, and simultaneously the lowest wealth inequality in history in the region, guaranteed housing and the elimination of unemployment, the defeat of nazism, global support of anti imperialism such as in Vietnam or essentially all of Africa and Latin America, free education to the highest level, and high quality affordable public transit.

    I don't think I'm moving the goalposts. My claim isn't only "great progress happened in the USSR in terms of material conditions of workers", my claim is "these improvements of material conditions point towards the existence of a more Democratic system than in places where said improvements don't take place". I'm using the improvements as a materialist measure of democracy because these improvements are, in my opinion, evidence of democracy.

    It would be a lot easier to defend the USSR if they only intervened to allow the proletariat to hold referendums

    Well, obviously, but reality isn't so easy when you're just one socialist country in a world dominated by capitalism. This was very obvious to the Bolsheviks from the beginning, when during the Russian Civil War, 10+ world powers including the USA, Great Britain or Poland invaded them trying to help the Whites and to reestablish tsarist absolutism. The USSR was an example of what is called "Actually Existing Socialism". You cannot get a totally socialist country when capitalist relations still dominate the planet and threaten your very existence, as was the case in the Soviet Union. For example, the main drive of rapid industrialization In 1929 together with rapid land collectivization was not ideological, but geopolitical: threat of invasion. When geopolitical, and not purely ideological reasons, are behind a lot of your decisions, it's hard to do socialism perfectly. I agree we should analyze the problems and failures, but we can also look at the entire experience of the country and, judging by the results, it was very positive and arguably better than any system we've had so far.

    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.

    When it comes to doing the right thing for the American people, the useless centrists you insist on calling "practical leftists" do nothing and call it incrementalism.

    When it comes to selling weapons for genocide, they can't do it fast enough and will fight to keep doing it no matter what it costs the American people.

    The country has slid to the right for decades and "practical" do-nothing-but-genocide centrists are enthusiastically complicit.

    So you somehow convinced enough mods in a famously defensive community to become a moderator yourself, then you told them you you're letting in right-wing viewpoints? Or did they make you a mod after you said you wouldn't censor?
