You ever wonder why they specify that other instances can have their own political views and they’d like to see someone else run a liberal instance?
It’s because they have specific political views, and do not believe in the liberal notion of the right to self-determination and redress of grievances.
I don’t really give a fuck about allegations from an .ml
I just don’t understand why you can’t stay in your little world. I stay out of yours, why you gotta bring your shit here?
Well, at least you can read subtext half the time. Probably explains why you read for calling everyone “shithead”.
Astonishing creativity, by the way. Simply incredible
Ah, I see my instructions were not clear. You did great with the first step!
So the second step, I now realize the link isn’t “about this instance”, but it is actually labelled “what is lemmy.ml”. You can actually see it in your screenshot, right above the rules!
I’m very sorry for the confusion, I know it can be a complicated procedure.
I mean. You can also just go to their front page and read the “about this instance” paragraph where they clarify that they support a specific political ideology and will not tolerate dissent.
They explicitly built a walled garden. Don’t be surprised they maintain the walls. There are other instances.
Some guy made a UI for Lemmy, called tesseract. Then he hid secret blacklists within that UI which automatically blocked a bunch of leftist and trans content, as well as some generic spam stuff. Someone noticed that a trans community was blocked when accessed through tesseract, and so they did some digging and published the blocklists.
Guy that made tesseract calmly and reasonably wrote a rambling “farewell” letter where he basically said we’re all insane and he’s done trying to make Lemmy a “better” place, and included ddos code within the farewell letter targeting the instance that first identified the blacklists.
Now they’ve spent the last 2-3 days arguing how great the tesseract blacklist was under various alt accounts.
Yes, if you personally choose to define a term differently from how it is actually defined, then you can do that.
Kinda pointless having a conversation with someone who means down when they say up tho.
