Many people on lemmy.ml deeply respect and admire authoritarian governments and organizations.
Iran, China, North Korea, Soviet Union…
The West has many flaws. But our flaws are nothing compared to these guys.
Iran hangs homosexuals. Iran shot 30,000 people in less than than 2 weeks. The Soviet Union had to build a fucking Iron wall to prevent people from escaping. The Soviets lied about the Chernobyl nuclear explosion. China censors the internet. China wants to eliminate Islam. North Korea is a totalitarian hellscape. Watching anime is a crime.
Why is lemmy.ml so fascinated with authoritarians?
Just block all .ml instances and move to something not lemmy based. Piefed is good. Plus blocking an entire domain fork thing, whatever you call these, is as easy as one click.
This is the way.
If you don’t like ml, just block them and leave lemmy.
Why exactly is leaving Lemmy necessary? I blocked the .ml instances, but I’m content with Lemmy for the rest
Piefed is a 1 to 1 replacement with access to the same content.
The lead lemmy developer has some u n usual political ideologies which are incompatible with my own.
Ooh, interesting. Do you also leave buildings whenever someone plays Michael Jackson?
Because Lemmy itself is developed by the same folks who run .ml instance. Luckily there is piefed and mbin, which are compatible.
Oh, well. Nice to meet you, I guess. I hope you have a good day
Just because we block your instance, doesn’t mean we cannot interact with each other in communities on other instances!
Oh this is actually eye-opening. Thanks for explaining it. Had no idea.
It still feels sad and frustrating, but it feels a little less sad and a little less frustrating
And umm yeah nice to meet you
