If the discussion is good, what is the problem? Genuine question.
It's not a good discussion when they ban you in the middle of it for saying NATO is a defensive alliance.
Its fair game because my comment got removed on lemmy.world for criticizing Israel.
Sounds like a challenge!
NATO is a defensive alliance and the Israeli government is filled with war criminals who need to be thrown in the Hauge
Edit: To the instance-blocked guy who replied that "Thrown in the Hauge" has a weird energy:

Oh wow, it's not often that I find a comment that's whataboutism and also a blatant lie. (I block every Hexbear account I see.)
Edit: stay mad, tankies. MLs aren't leftists.
That's up to the mod. The admins generally don't get involved
Shame those are the only two instances
That is a shock? In my experience political and news communities are always biased and will remove anything that isn't a part of the narrative. Some are worse than others but the desire to stop "misinformation" often leads to censorship.
I said worse things about USSR history and I still comment on political LM posts when I feel like putting effort, and don't even care about the instance if the subject is neutral. Their users did appreciate deeper digs in what it really was if I could produce some insights. The only user\mod I had problems with is y-tos, and I choose not to touch anything they write at all.
i feel like .ml is kind of hit or miss, some of the people on it are fine, some are just assholes, and some are just straight tankies. It's a weird mix going on over there.
That was the default Lemmy instance for a very long time, so I guess for pre-reddit exodus folks it wasn't more of a choice than for lemmy.world users now.
that would make sense in some aspects. Gotta love decentralized communities.
Some people get really bent out of shape that not every instance is exactly the same as lemmy.world, cheer-leading for the exact same worldview. They are intellectually brittle and emotionally weak, so when they don't see the same group-think taking over somewhere they can't control they need to post something like "BUT WE ALL HATE THEM OVER THERE, RIGHT FELLAS?! WE GOOD, THEM BAD! LET'S DE-FEDERATE!"
people that disagree with me are dumb and sensational, here's an emotional strawman argument against them
As @Kecessa stated, any interaction with lemmy.ml legitimises the entire instance.
Sometimes it isn't bad. For instance the privacy community is generally pretty good. However, there are some mods who have a "different" way of seeing things. They want the communities they mod to be propaganda machines.
I used to get annoyed but now I just move on to different communities. I will say that the admins of Lemmy.ml have gotten a lot more reasonable. They are still politically far left but they don't force there views nearly as much. Its some of the mods that are the problem. I don't care what they believe in but you shouldn't remove something because it challenges your beliefs
They're not far left. They're China/Russia shills. Authoritarianism isn't far left.
Authoritarianism can be left or right
