There is a realistic scenario where Mali starts reclaiming domains who are using their TLD to mean Marxist-Leninist.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago

Is that why they use .ml? I had read somewhere that it was just an especially cheap domain to use or something?

[-] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago

Mali had a ten year period where they were allowing free registration. That doesn't exist anymore.

They also keep getting classified documents due to typos in army.mil email addresses and similar ;)

"They also keep getting classified documents due to typos in army.mil email addresses and similar ;)"

Government of Mali: "We should be taking advantage of this more than we are..."

I'm pretty sure they're paying for theirs though. The free ones were taken away recently.

Lemmygrad and .ml are run by the same people. The latter is the "public" face I suppose

[-] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

Nah the devs have officially made a statement they have no relation with .grad

[-] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

no officer, I didn't shoot that guy! I am just holding a gun and they have a bullet hole in their head

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Wdym ?

Defederation shouldn't be the first solution to problems with other instances. If they want to be overzealous and heavy handed with moderation on their site then they will lose users who want more fair and effective moderation. But if you defedate with them, then their users just get stuck on these echo chamber communities.

Defederation should be a last resort to deal with poor moderation of abusive content, not moderation that we don't agree with.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

I believe you accidentally said should instead of shouldn't in the first sentence

[-] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

Thanks for the correction, really changes my whole point. I'm glad you caught it

Listen some of us made accounts on .ml when we had no idea what we were doing making a lemmy account, mkay

[-] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Seconded. I joined .ml because they were the first to have a formula 1 community.

I prefer to follow the news on other instances like beehaw and .world to avoid your experience.

There are normal/non-radical communities that exist that would be lost via defederation.

Western chauvinism is when you criticize right-wing strongmen, and the more you criticize the right-wing, the more chauvinist it is.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 6 months ago

I'm not saying it makes sense...

[-] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

Well, then you'll get bann- oh.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I learned recently firsthand .ml does not take kindly to the word tankie lol

[-] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Nope, they ban you for it.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

~~They didn’t ban me just deleted my respective comments.~~ Edit: i was banned from [email protected] for opinion that the Chinese gov controlled media was propaganda.

Good point. Turkey has been a bad-faith member of NATO for years now.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Yes, I remember seeing this comment. The bias there is really obvious to anyone following the discussion.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 6 months ago

I once got banned for “BlueAnon nonsense”, and I still have no clue what that means.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 6 months ago

I got curious and looked it up.

"Blue Anon" is a term coined by conservatives attacking those who push "left-wing conspiracy theories."

The phrase is a play on the name of the radical conspiracy theory QAnon

So nonsense lmao

[-] [email protected] 29 points 6 months ago

Oh, boy… when the mods over there are calling me the same names that Marjorie Taylor Green uses, I know I’m on the right side, lol

[-] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

The good news is neither do they.

I don't see anything wrong with what you wrote. And what the hell is "western chauvinism" really? Eastern Europe and Western Europe are simply not THAT different culturally.

The only thing I would actually add to your comment (which would obviously get me banned) would be to say that vetoes should not be a thing in NATO...for ANY country.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It must be getting worse on .ml world news. Either that or they have some new power tripping mods. This is like the 5th post I've seen in 24hrs about being ban from there.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago

It is an election year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tankies gonna tankie

[-] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago

I've had cases where I got Hexbear dogpiled, so my comment got deleted. However, the mods still kept the dogpiling comments and I was still getting responses because obviously hexbear was brigading.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

Yeah, that's how I found out I was banned. Tried to reply to a reply.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago

Don't show a tankie reason and logic, they meltdown and get very hostile. Weak sorts of folks.

Hoorah, welcome to the club! It is a badge of honor really. I use a separate account to have some discussions on .ml but in the mean time I added lemmy.ml to my instance blocklist and Lemmy has been wonderfull since.

A big issue seems to be that users looking for worldnews get their world news instead of world at lemmy.world..

And yes I sometimes have discussions on .ml as I think some of the extrimist idolization needs to be called out. So that if normal people see such comments they can also read a dissenting viewpoint.

And every now and then, just to tell a tankie that the Uyghur camps are real... Getting banned and doing it again.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago

Congrats. I don't have any experience because I have been avoiding and blocking lemmy.ml.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Sorry to hear that mate. Same here, made a post about it too. I think it's a few users with an agenda, combined with an automod that carries out the actual ban, and mods who don't review. Discuss. Block (optional). Move on.

Also: as the thread gets active, tankie users may try to hijack your post with comments blaming you for your ban, calling you names/ libtard/ govt bootlicker etc. Ignore these idiots. They come out hot and expect your reaction. Don't drop to their level. Be better.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

I don't even know if my instance is federated with them, all the better if not imo.

Looks like someone might have been a bit trigger happy. 😅 Perhaps "dealing with them" got them into a twist. Given how we've "dealt with" some leaders we didn't like in that past.
