TIL it's against the rules to mention what instance it is
The comment in question:
"To everyone arriving here from /all, remember that this is a .ml community when you attempt to engage in good faith."
Edit: Sorry for the double post - I just got back after being gone all day and didn't realize someone else had made a post about my comment! There's a bit of discussion here so I was going to leave it, but if the mods would rather delete it, feel free!
Well you walked in their home and implied they aren't acting in good faith. And you got kicked out for it.
Best to just block .ml completely, they offer nothing of value anyways.
It doesn't seem like a good comparison here, your home is a place to feel safe, and also a place that is private. If someone forced their way into your home they would be deeply violating your safety and privacy.
A public instance like lemmy.ml is very different from that, and to compare the two is almost a bad faith comparison since you're implying that the Lemmy devs would be unsafe if someone came into Lemmy.ml uninvited or invalidated their opinions.
Lemmy.ml's mods and admins aren't endangered by opinions they dislike and people unwlling to respect them are not and will not be equivalent to someone violating the sanctity of their home.
Instances aren't precisely a house but they aren't fundamentally public spaces either.
They're privately owned and operated and while they provide public interface we're all operating in a networked system of walled gardens providing a service.
You can allege the admins and devs are being hypocrites all day with every action found in the modlog, but there is still a limit to what people will tolerate when they're providing a service.
It's a perfect comparison.
There's a lot of cope in your message that doesn't make sense, so I'll not entertain your accusation and purely opinion-based hypothetical "facts".
Lemmy instances are private instances. The owner and whoever they put in charge have - in almost every country in the world - the right to kick you off it for no reason.
.ml stands for Mein-fuhrer
LeninstaLinYou posted a troll comment and it was removed for trolling. Congratulations, you created an example of mod actions on .ml that were completely justified for once.
Yeah even if what is being said is 100% factual, it is for once, a justified removal IMO.
Getting banned from .ml is something of a badge of honor around here. Wear it with pride.
Gotta shield themselves from transparency as much as possible!
DM a mod and explain, unless this isn't a first offense.
Lol, this is .ml. This was an admin action done to suppress dissent speech against their instance because the admins of .ml use their instance to push Tankie ideology. Not because it was a misunderstanding.
You rarely see an actual .ml mod modding because the admins micromanage it all
You're on a comm that documents their censorship along with the propaganda and misinformation they spread or allow to spread to further their pro-Russia pro-CCP goals. Among other miscellaneous actions as well.
Funnily enough, I've never had problems. Look at the post and look at the comment. I see exactly why it happened, and anyone who doesn't is refusing to see. If the ban isn't lifted, the commenter might learn why the comment was entirely inappropriate -- because it was. Yes I laughed, but also facepalmed.
