I’ve joined Lemmy.ml. Someone sent me a link to a video posted on Feddit.nl - I thought I could log in and upvote/comment using my Lemmy.ml credentials. Wrong!
Why is this? Sorry for my ignorance, I’m relatively new to the fediverse. But I thought that they were all federated so you can interact with all instances??!
Oh, the Tankie Triad is free to moderate as they wish too. And other instances are free to block them. And I am free to warn unsuspecting newcomers.
There’s a difference, I think, between instances moderating as they wish and blocking entire instances. That should really be the last resort.
Just let mods be mods, there’s no need to turn this into some kind of Lemmy civil war and start unpersoning your enemies.
This sectarian shit really sucks.
When instances become instruments of propaganda for Putin/Xi/Kim and ban people who expose such propaganda, they fully deserve to be blocked. They’ve become instruments of the enemies of civil society.
It’s the moderation practices of those instances that put them in the corner of “sectarian shit”. The rest of us don’t need to tolerate such toxicity.
But when instances become instruments of propaganda for NATO/US/EU and ban people who expose such propaganda, that’s fine.
I tolerate the toxicity of .world and other liberal instances, but maybe I shouldn’t. Maybe I should just join lemmygrad so I never have to get attacked again for disagreeing with the liberal consensus and be treated like an enemy. I’d probably hit myself less.
But I don’t think we are enemies. I think that, too, is propaganda.
I’d like to know what you’re saying is eu/usa propaganda on lemmy. As far as I’ve seen, people here are extremely anti usa at a minimum.
