.ml is fucking cancer.

They even ban people for saying “Slava Ukraini”? I wonder what rules this breaks... I guess for them, supporting the victims of genocide is supporting the Nazis.
- "Everything I don't like breaks rule 1."
  
  Vibe moderation.

The fuck part of rule 1 did they break? The .ml admins must be fun at parties.
Rule 1 according to .ml sidebar: No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
- "Supporting Ukraine is supporting NAZIS! Only supporting civilians having their hands tied behind their backs and shot in the head by Russian invaders for the crime of being Ukrainian is the True Anti-Bigot Position."
- Looks like they don't give a shit about rule 1 themselves... very hypocritical.
- That's always the rule cited. Tis bigotrous against the enlightened (Eastern European) imperialists.
- Well informed and respectful response? Bigot, out with you! But calling Ukraine "the empire's Nazi regime", totally not racism or bigotry.
- against russia or ccp, reading between the lines.
- Russia propaganda is that Ukraine is occupied by Nazis and they liberate them. .ml admin can still be liberal minded if they don't have access to other sources. Not that they are, i don't know if they are.
- Nationalism is free game?! Rip
- Ukraine is xenophobic against Russian citizens in their country!

What a shit felching Nazi fuck.

It's so ridiculous to claim to have a modlog for transparency, then just slap a no-reason number or flat out lie. Kudos to the admins and mods that don't do that.
The real problem is, the main Lemmy developers actively peddle Russian and Chinese propaganda, and they know it. It really de-legitimizes Lemmy as a platform.
- Haven't .ml/devs literally been caught removing content from the modlogs entirely?

liberate
🙄

instance boycotting is weird why not petition your admin to defederate or move to an instance that is
- We've been trying, very few of the Lemmy instances defederate from .ml even if many defederate from the rest of the Triad because of support and the devs would take it personally (which I mean, fair, given dessalines behavior that has been documented thus far I wouldn't put it past him at all to refuse to help on things for an instance that had the gall to defederate from his)
  So it's either boycott or move to PieFed
  
  i made a piefed social acct just in case, some people moved to piefed world
  
  As soon as I'm back on my meds, I'm moving to Piefed, myself.
  
  Or mbin.
- Individuals can also just block instances. I've had .ml blocked for a while now.
- I never think about .ml unless someone (who isn't from .ml) complains about .ml.

Man, I've said a lot more in that thread and haven't been banned.
- They are aware of what goes on here, so I suspect for larger threads they let some things that they can "live with" go so there isn't comment after comment with "Removed by moderator", or you just got lucky and it was missed.

OP‘S little editorial is essentially 👊 🇷🇺 🔥
Different flag, same brand of imperialist douchebag
Edit: talking OP in the screenshot

Expires in 30 days
It's so bizarre to see people get a time out on a community they hate and fume because they're temporarily prohibited from yelling at people they say they don't want to talk to.
- yelling at people
  merely saying slava ukraini
  Is twisting the truth a tankie specialty or are you guys just born that way?
  
  My guy, this whole post is about boycotting .ml after this sore loser got a 30 day suspension.
  How are you going to boycott a place you are upset you can't post in? You're like a bunch of abusive exes
