I have been there. .ML, Hexbear, an Lemmygrad are the top three problem children. While there’s “1000’s of instances” those three are always listed as the top three to join which is a problem . This not an new thing and it’s kind of annoying that people call them “imperfect allies”.“Imperfect allies” can tank your entire platform because people don’t want to be associated, not with just things they disagree with, but with users that are like zealots. Either remain neutral in the platform you develop and let it police itself with the tools you give it, or don’t ask for money for personal soapboxes.

Tell you what, if you make lemmy.ml like a jail for those users where they can sit there all day long and let the other users themselves disconnect or not even see their posts, I will start donating. Almost like a 4chan for lemmy.

I did. I can’t force the instance I am on to de-federate and I can’t ban all users. I also don’t agree with this campaign of those users to start the Reddit refugees and exiles there. You’re making all of Lemmy appear like they support that specific view of politics.

I still stand by what I said. Not a single fraction of any currency either directly or indirectly to that instance.

I’m not donating a single bit of whatever currency to .ml. Pick one or the other: dev costs or your own personal soap box cost.

This sounds like the machine from Idiocracy that prints your ID on your arm. First Name: “Not” Last name: “Sure” Tattooing “Not Sure” on your arm for identification!

I stand corrected.

We all know Valve can’t count past two.
