They are not as extreme, but you cannot realistically have a civilized discussion on their servers. Unfortunately they are much more established with several big communities which are hesitant to move to more reasonable servers so while hexbear was an easy insta-ban for me and most other Lemmy users, we're stuck individually blocking ml users for now.
But hopefully because of the idiotic choice of the ml domain, they will eventually go the way of hexbear.
IMO they're just more subtle about it because they don't want a larger call for defed to happen, I'm sure they all have alts on Hex/Grad where they let out their..."restraints".
They're very quick to deride .world as nothing but a "Reddit 2.0 CIA front propaganda machine" and yet won't defed from it themselves....
Wasn't the whole .ml domain an issue way back during the reddit migration too, cause its the domain for Mali? I remember it being an issue when I came over to Lemmy, which was back during that migration. When Reddit locked down its api and a bunch of redditors (me included) did a "blackout" to protest.
Yes it was. That's exactly what I was referring to.
How come nothing came of that?
Cyberspace colonialism.
I blocked the entire instance and I'm doing just fine.
That doesn't really help retain newcomers any if we all just bury our heads in the sand
I mean, it's better than nothing I guess
I did too but I still see the users. It just blocks all their communities.
I'm glad you're using lemmy the way you want and not being weird and expecting the admission to block things for you. Take care, peace.
Don't talk to me.
