.ML users left in shambles.

You know, if they could still access lemmy in general.

    Real. I joined it cuz it said it was FOSS focused and run by the creators of Lemmy which I thought was neat. Did not realize it was a tankie cesspool. I’m now banned from a good portion of it for “Nazi apologia” because I said calling Ukraine Nazis was Russian propaganda

    Just jump instances. I might have my reservations about how the aversion to monetization means a lot instances are unstable or slow with no real incentives or even funding to improve it but there's certainly something to be said for decentralization.

    I'm glad the instance I chose based on URL ended up being pretty good because sh.itjust.works.

    Some people reckon we’re a Nazi instance… shrug emoji.

    I’m not sure why - but have read it a few times. If someone in the know could clue me in if there is actually some back lore to the claim I’d appreciate that.

    It’s just Ukraine, no “the” in front.

    It has THE because it's a geographic area of historic Russia, translating to "THE borderland".

    I'm older than "Ukraine".

    Policing other people's language is very on point for Ukrainian nationalists. Banderites.

    I ain't ever had no Chicken Kyiv, but I bet it tastes like shit.

    You can use your normal .ml account, you don’t need to hide being a tankie.

    Russia is an authoritarian imperialist state.

    America necessitates authoritarian strongmen, elected or not. We exploit and undermine liberal democracies when attempted in the developing world. All the while we directly arm over 80% of the world's dictatorships.

    Russia doesn't do that. Russia doesn't have 861 foreign military bases.

    America is not only the least democratic nation on Earth, we are the only empire on Earth.

    You're calling me a tankie because I support democracy. You don't.

    I have a confession:

    When I joined, I thought ML was for Machine Learning.

    You may be new enough not to have encountered this yet but our instance has a well earned reputation of being Soviet boot lickers. Be careful on .ml meme subs and stuff, you’ll catch a permaban for saying anything pro Ukraine or in any way interpretable as anti Russia

    Do we? You might be overestimating your impact as a person, or I maybe I only pay attention to the usernames of people who make a big positive difference on my flavor of the fediverse!

    All the same, brand new accounts are fishy as fuck, especially with 0 posts. Try creating, not just critiquing!
