  • Sure, and all of that should be tended to, but it doesn't make massive delays an absolute or change that driving can be just as unreliable but gets this mental loophole even though people bitch about it constantly.

  • My city had Amtrak back in the 70s or something and it came back a few years ago. The common thread I see around here is "I caught an hour delay one time so never again!"

    Never mind that they get held up for hours every other time they travel on the highway, that's just part of it, I guess? Enjoy sitting there burning gas I'll just take a nap 🤷

  • Big oil and big auto have people convinced that it isn't true, same with new apartments. Decades and billions of dollars to convince Americans that density is for poor people (even though its the dense places where property values skyrocket) and cars are the only acceptable transit because you don't want to share space with a poor, do you?

  • On the various posts in this current flood of "Communists should leave the communist instance for my own comfort" nonsense, even the anti-.ml crowd can't provide good examples of how anyone who looks at them funny gets banned. Nobody has modlog receipts and almost every example THEY provide of communists oppressing them or whatever is THEM saying dumb nothings like "I can't hear you over Tienanmen Square" or cussing up a storm while the .ml person is like "Here's a book about XYZ"

    I'm sure people have been perhaps hastily moderated on .ml, but probably not any more than any other instance, and if so they aren't the ones rallying to de-ML .ml.

  • That's really the kicker for me with those people. The louder they shriek about being moderated for outright dickish behavior, the faster they'd ban you on their own turf for politely sharing a source that counters their narrative.

    I've agreed with you basically since the beginning of my lemmy experience about .world. I think that's just where most Reddit refugees landed (including myself initially) so that's why they have such a high concentration of people wanting this Reddit-adjacent neolib singular authority and want so strongly to defederate from anything remotely left of Biden -

    Or even go as far as the post I assume OP is based off of and screech about free speech by arguing how the MLs who BUILT LEMMY should abandon their .ML domain to make the instance less ML. Cause that's how free speech works. >.>

  • I'm open to to the fact that (like basically anything) it DOES happen at some point, somewhere. The problem with taking the people complaining that its this big systemic push to purge them seriously is even the examples THEY give usually show themselves just being twats.

    Also, as many people love screaming at me about "receipts," if you're getting banned left and right just for sharing a source and you're so enraged that you're taking up arms, where's the modlog entries?

    Then, if it IS being mad that they're being moderated for getting shitty and acting like a cunt - could I go into their house and start pissing all over whatever they're about? Conservative spaces LOVE hyper moderation when it aligns with them, as I mentioned previously go find an instance that aligns with your shtick - that's the whole Lemmy thing.

  • I think blocking entire instances is inevitable, but the choices various instance owners make in doing so will help shape where the chips fall in the long run in terms of where people end up settling in - someone with leftist tendencies won't want to set up shop on an instance that defeds all the leftist instances, for example.

    A lot of people call for outright defederation because they came from reddit so they want that more singular level of authority/moderation. Whereas (purely hypothetical, haven't been on reddit in a long gkme) a pro Palestinian sub could be banned because reddit took a pro - Israel stance, on Lemmy if .world bans my community I can take it to Ml, and they HATE that.

  • I'm not familiar with Voat. I'm not sure how it'd apply to something like Lemmy (probably fall on instance owners I guess) but the problem every "ultimate free speech TM" platform runs into is that laws exist and certain things are just illegal. 🤷

    The most notable thing about people who complain this loudly about moderation that doesn't skew their way, is that they dont want LESS moderation - They want moderation that skews to their viewpoints. They complain about being banned on ml for saying "fuck you tankie" or other dismissive nonsense, but if you visit THEIR spaces and politely disagree and provide sources you'll get banned quicker than anyone here but none of them cry about free speech when it happens on their turf.

  • You're arguing that the people who BUILT LEMMY and the people who have been around long before some Reddit drama should bail on their own instance, built to be their instance for their purposes, for YOUR comfort.

    Maybe re-evaluate what "being an asshole" means before you go around calling people names.

  • And will continue to be until people shut the fuck up and populate other instances instead of trying to bully the people who built the damned thing off their own instance.

    (This isn't directed at you) - If lemmy.ml hosts most activity, and continues to host most activity, despite your claims that nobody can have a differing opinion from 2 or 3 people without being banned, and is continuing to grow and host more of the activity.........The problem isn't the people who built the software or admin the server, maybe the problem is you.

  • Here's an idea, block .ml and SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY.

    It feels like 30% of all Lemmy use is capitalists whining that they don't have a central anti leftist authority to block everyone they don't like, by linking the same two fucking posts from over at least 1 year ago or posts where they "argue" by shouting "fuck you Tankie" and it didn't go their way.

    If you don't like how its run, leave. THATS THE WHOLE POINT. If you want a central authority thats gonna be strongly pro-capital, go back to Reddit. Either way:

    SHUT. THE FUCK. UP.

  • Long means correct, apparently. Nevermind what’s being said.

    Considering the counter argument was "Fuck you you're wrong," I'm going to go ahead and side with the person who actually makes a coherent point. Any point at all, really. "I CAN'T HEAR YOU LULZ" doesn't count.

    Not all bans are permanent, not all bans are global. Sure, but if you were constantly getting temp bans, it'd be preettttyyyy easy to show some receipts, if it were true and not just a rallying cry for some butthurt capitalist stans.

    I get it buddy. You don't like leftists, so anything leftist is bad. Righties love screaming at me about the modlog, so allow me to turn it on you - If you stay getting banned, show us. Show us you getting banned and all your comments being removed for disagreeing. Should be easy since supposedly anybody left of Biden isn't allowed to exist on .ml, right?

  • I don't know if you linked the wrong post or what cause I see one person making lengthy arguments and offering sources while the other makes dinky diversions. Not a great argument on your behalf.

    You are mocking peoples honest experiences of this instance

    Am I? Because if you're (or whoever is) here arguing about being banned from .ml, you're notably not banned from .ml, and if im reading sombodys "This comment will be removed" comment, it by definition hasnt been removed. 🤷
