memes

If the discussion is good, what is the problem? Genuine question.

I see this as an absolute win! The point of decentralized social media is that discussion happens across many different linked sites. It doesn't work if lemmy.world is the only big site out there.

Sure have your beef with the admins of another server, but why get upset that discussions are happening there?

Normalise criticizing both the West and China/Russia for their shit.

Don't make it your identity to defend horrible shit, anywhere.

Past or Present

lemmy.world users when lemmy.ml user don't immediately suck up to political propaganda

There's a reason why having both world news communities from both instances is a good thing. You'll receive a much wider range of sources and bias, as well as the perspective of people who don't completely agree with you.

Staying within on instance community creates an echo chamber like reddit. There's even such a wild difference within lemmy.world between c/Politics and c/News, despite them often posting similar news and info.

I genuinely have no idea what this is. I just came here for the cat memes. There are very few cat memes here.

I haven't found Lemmy.ml to be all that objectionable. It's not like they are hexbear.

Since blocking .ml, I've not accidentally contributed to things there. As a result, I haven't had any hate in my inbox since. Just nice, respectful interactions and discussions.

Your mistake is not having lemmy.ml blocked

Eh, it's no lemmygrad

I’m subbed to a handful of communities in .ml and it’s not that bad. I consider myself communist, but not of the tankie flavor. Authoritarianism is never a good thing.

If people don’t like those views, they shouldn’t wade in unless they’re willing to have a grounded conversation and not just drop a played out one-liner. I think the most recent uptick in complaints about .ml are because of how often it criticizes liberalism.

Lemmy instances are essentially forums. If I go to a conservative community and tell them all that Marx was right all along, I’m not gonna be surprised when I get banned. Complaining about mods is a tale as old as time itself.

And unfortunately lemmy.ml is getting more online traffic recently.

Is it? It looks pretty stable to me. Conversely, world, lemm.ee and shitjustworks are all experiencing slight but noticeable growth.

What's a better way to make our little community bigger and better that having pesky antagonisms over every little difference we can find.

We better centralize over a single instance of people thinking exactly like we do.

Big /S by the way.

And I'm not even from .ml but come'on, we share more than we disagree on.

Lemmy could really do with the ability to transfer an account to a new instance. The only reason I'm still on lemmy.world is because I can't be bothered to set up an account on another instance that may be as insufferable.

As for communities, Lemmy just isn't large enough to be picky. World is the biggest instance, but is still dead on anything that's not either a Reddit clone or a popular community.
