.ml is pretty explicit on their "about us" page that they have a specific political orientation and will censor dissenting opinions.

Now you have learned. Plenty of other instances that aren't as heavily censored.

.ml bans are a badge of honor. Welcome.

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

lemmy.ml is filled with people who sort the instance by new comments and hit the F5 button nonstop. It's why there is such quick and violent hate the moment you do not pay attention to where you are in All and make a random, unimportant comment.

when I first got on lemmy, I went to .ml since that is where the devs were. I figured that it would be nice to be on the most updated instance. I didn't know what ML was. I lasted very little time before running away. It's shocking how insecure and angry people are there.

Congrats! Mentioning China AND Palestine in one comment, oooh .ml must have been so upset.

Oh it's another one of these. For as long as you're on .ml, China, Russia and North Korea are incapable of doing any wrong.

Noo, why did you post this? Now they're all in here!

Two cars crash.... Bam!. The police shows up. Not to help either driver. They show up to get the accident cleared so Jeff Bezos can keep selling and shipping shit on Amazon.

What a coincidence, I got banned from world_news@lemmy.world for exactly the opposite reason.

It wasn't even something I brought up at all, I said something completely unrelated and someone started hounding me about it and demanding an answer, and I said that I hadn't seen sufficient evidence to conclude it was a genocide.

Then a mod posted some links, and I asked, "before I go through these, if I ctrl+F "Zenz" how many hits am I gonna get?" and that's when I got banned. I did go through them anyway, and the answer was 18.

I had also made a comment explaining how claims don't get to magically subvert the normal process of scrutiny just because they involve the word "genocide," and how, if anything, more extreme claims should be subject to greater scrutiny, not less. That comment was removed for "genocide denialism."

So, nowadays, I've learned my lesson, that as long as I'm on .world, all claims of genocide must be accepted unquestionably, regardless of evidence. You could tell me that France is genociding Belgians or that Morrocans are genociding Kansans, whatever, and I won't question or deny it. After all, basing your beliefs on evidence means that you're just blindly following, uh, whoever the claims happen to be about this time, which probably makes you an authoritarian tankie. You have to accept all negative claims about US geopolitical adversaries, without question, to be a free-thinking anti-authoritatian.

However, my ban wasn't for 30 days, it was permanent. "You can't handle the truth" indeed.

.ml is a authoritarian bootlicking shithole. I’d advise everyone to block that instance the moment they make a new account.

This gift wrapped itself for you, OP. Take it one step further and block those assholes entirely. Then, when you wonder…. “Where did all the Russian psyop bullshit go?”

You’ll know.

ml is a tumor on the federation

Welcome to the club of normal people.

The misconception is with what these pages are. They are not public forums. They are the personally dictated and directed blog of the moderators, they allow the public to contribute but have final say on publishing.

Once you realize these are ignorant kids blogs it makes sense that you would get banned for trying to have a discussion instead of perpetuating whatever world view they are trying to spew.

your post is just whataboutism lol

enjoy crying about a temp ban from a single comm

byeeee

Really seeing (yet another) coordinated campaign against .ml. If all you can stomach is liberal slop, why don't you just go back to reddit, where you'll never have to encounter any politics to the left of your own?

Just remember, everything you don't like is a CIA psyop

Getting banned used to be a badge of shame meaning you were a bigot or troll.

Now it just means the mods don't like your opinion.

A ton of people, mainly leftist, have an issue where their ideology starts and ends at "AMERICA BAD"

I think Hasan is a good example of this as he has defended China and Russia and didn't stop to think about why. Is Russia good? Is China good?

If you do defend them, whatever. But don't do it without a good grounding as to why. You can never define yourself by only saying what you're not.

You first need to find out what you ARE. Who are you? What do you stand for? What are your grounding, foundational beliefs and values?

.ml is Lemmy's snowflake instance.

I get that some people just start out there as they enter the Lemmiverse and aren't part of the stereotype, but clearly so many .ml users are snowflake troll braindead NPCs that it's become a pattern that can't be ignored and that we're pretty much all aware of at this point.

Spread horseshit propaganda, get banned. I'm not seeing the problem.

These are the people that downvote that shithole being called out. It helps to point out the .mls that have .world accounts.
