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

    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.

      I got banned there for stating an opinion and at that point I don’t really know what to do anymore. You have a handful of people who spout their one sided talking points into the void (probably) and if anyone says anything, they get banned.

      They can have their bubble there but aren’t bubbles the fundamental problem of social media?

      So they do nothing about broader and fundamental problems of social media which they should do as alternative social media platform.

      Yeah lets ban discussion too eh.

      That’s how I see .ml because you have to be in the cult and not question anything or get banned.
