man while I have some sympathies that MBFC is not the best. And their left right ratings are at best problematic.
I’ve blocked OOP here on my account and I don’t take blocking lightly. So I imagine they’ve said some pretty fucked up shit or are a troll.
I’m surprised he isn’t banned yet. Is it just me or do I see a lot of Tankie shit on lemm.ee? Is it another lemmy.ml / lemmygrad / hexbear cesspool? I think lemmy.zip was another smaller one that had a lot of Tankie traffic. Or is that just a consequence of them somehow (?) not defederating from the Tankie instances?
I’ve noticed some dodgy tankie accounts on both lemm.ee and lemmy.world
I think it’s because the instances are lightly moderated and it is easy to make an account. So it attracts people who want to troll/bad intentions.
Beehaw defederated from world because of this
On world I’ve seen them in the news communities, but I pretty much blocked them all by now because of the unwillingness to moderate by all of them, specifically regarding disinformation. Though, the instance is too big for me to ban every community, like I do with lemmy.ml. At that point there would be not much activity left and it is already incredibly lowly populated.
I can appreciate Beehaw blocking the more extreme left instances though, even though they are pretty left leaning too.
Yeah I’ve blocked .ml too.
I don’t think world is that bad, I used it for a long time until I switched here to Blahaj, but yeah a lot of the dodgy accounts tend to come from world and lemm.ee. Once you’ve got the tankie trifecta (hexbear, grad and ml) blocked.
Unfortunately on mbin I can only block the specific communities or users, not the entire instance.
I don’t think Beehaw blocked .world out of any political motivation at all. They simply have a very strict vision of the atmosphere and style of interactions they want their users to have, and the combination of unrestricted sign-ups, lax moderation and lacking moderation tools in general made this vision impossible - hence defederation.
By that logic you’d have to defederate from basically anything because the moderation tools and sign-ups are about the same everywhere.
No, they block kinda specific based on certain factors, as outlined by the other person.
And yes, the lack of moderation controls is one of the big reasons why they want to leave.
Lemmy.world and Lemm.ee both have what I consider to be an unacceptable number of authoritarian, both capitalist (fascist) and communist (tanky), on their servers and leave them up in the name of being enlightened centrists willing to hear anyone out. Sh.itjust.works used to be more Nazish, but I think they had a vote in their agora community at some point that’s allowed their admins and mods to be more proactive than back when I had an account there.
I’ve been filing reports when someone’s clearly over the line, but I’ve noticed a pattern with certain agitators who never fully cross the line in any single comment but toe the line in all of them, and in the aggregate pretty clearly are… gross
Interesting. I was going to say this might be because lemm.ee is the 2nd most active server? (3200 vs 2500 for sh.itjust.works https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/), so maybe the ratio is similar, but they are just more because the total number of users is larger
Should have been way back. They’re in Europe. Created the account after October 7th. Apologize for Hamas on a regular basis. Tell people in the US to vote 3rd party or not vote at all. But no matter what don’t vote for Biden/Harris.
Obvious troll account is obvious. It’s the same thing Russia did in 2016. Promoted Jill Stein as an alternative back then too. Is exactly what that account has been doing for months.
i love the “i didnt post anything offensive, i just said that “Israel are nazis”” claim.
Like, I’m no Israel sympathizer, and think they are genociding the Palastinian people, but that claim is so deep rooted in antisemitism its idiotic
(Clicks to original post, looks at who OP is)
Ohhh, it’s that guy (who has been banned on my instance for the better part of a year as a frequent poster of misinformation)
That whole post is a wall of crazy
I guess at least now there is a thread I can link people to when they ask “Why do people say that LW are Zionists?”
Everyone will then make their own opinions
Honestly it looks like a heated debate about the community bans of the OP of that post 😅
Honestly I think it is hilarious how people keep whining about lemmy.world being too woke 😁
I mean LW is very obviously super woke, at least their mods and admins and such posts just show it.
So what? I don’t get why “being woke” would be a negative thing
Also the origins of the term “woke” in this context basically means “informed” and like… I dunno. That’s what I see too in the woke/anti-woke dichotomy in modern times as well. Its about information vs misinformation. The anti-woke folks consistently push an anti-woke agenda centered around making sure the populace isn’t informed
No its not and that you talk like that is literally just my point. Arrogant behavior and inability to live with different opinions on most topics, talking about everyone else as uninformed and dumb or believing conspiracy “theories” like “the evil wrong thinkers want everyone to stay dumb” “the jews are in charge of everything” and several like minded “theories”
Jesus Christ what the fuck are you talking about. Lemme break this down real quick, I guess
- Yes it is. That’s where it comes from in African-American Vernacular. Denying that is… Weird
- I don’t mind differing opinions. I do mind misinformation.
- I didn’t call anyone dumb. I think politicians like Ron DeSantis don’t want us to teach history because they know we’re not dumb, and the only way to keep us under their thumbs is to keep us uninformed
- When did I say anything about conspiracy theories? What conspiracy theories do you think I believe in
- The Jews are not in charge of everything WHAT THE FUCK ARE TOU TALKING ABOUT. Why are you painting me with that brush? That’s… Weird.
This wasn’t a attack against you personally, but again thats what i mean, no ability to differentiate or see the problems of the own group.
Oh and people like DeSantis are actual Nazis 100% agree on that, but the people in the woke spectrum don’t make a difference between these people and people that just have another opinion about things.
What other opinions do you have about things?
Because the woke people mean is tankie woke and that can be boiled down to several key points: Russia and China dick sucking, Israel hate (wich is antisemitism) inability to hear different opinions without getting a mental breakdown, everything not woke being “nazi” and so on. That’s the point where society is currently.
Hi. Jewish person here. Thinking Israel as a fascist regime is not antisemitic. Its just… Looking at what they’re doing and assessing it for what it is
I think we should not go down that rabbit hole. In the war between Israel and Gaza both sides did and do horrible things. Deciding which of the two sides is more evil is just not helping anybody.
Not saying either side is more evil right now. I’m just saying Israel is a fascist state. Because they are. This is something I’ve been saying since before I knew about Palestine. Israel is a fascist state. They have done nothing in the last 20 years to convince me they deserve to be seen in another light. They have every aspect of Umberto Ecco’s ur-fascism
Ok then. I have no knowledge in that regard, so I won’t disagree 😅 In my ears “fascist” is usually including nazis (I am from Germany, so for me these 2 words have a “special bond” so to speak)
That’s nither what i said nor what i meant, criticism of Netanjahu is absolutely legit, but starting free Palestinia protests a day after 7. October is antisemitism. I didn’t say that Israel didn’t do anything wrong, i just said that many woke spectrum people believe that Israel has no right to defend itself and that these people come with arguments like “Palestine doesn’t have a iron dome” or just straight up support hamas.
Criticism of the faschistoid Israeli government isn’t Israel hate.
However i must say that a singular Jewish person doesn’t decide whats antisemitism and not and that a single person doesn’t speak for a entire ethnicity. I understand your point though.
I guess we are running in different circles (which is likely, cause we probably don’t live in the same country :D ). I do not perceive it this way. The black and white thinking is a big problem social media is not helping with (and I don’t accuse you of it, its just a fact)
Yes shure, but the black and white thing is what i understand as woke, we good everyone else evil, different opinions unwelcome, even if just slightly different. And thats what im seeing on LW as well.
I can definitely live with different opinions where opinions are reasonable (i don’t accept “opinions” that are just antisemitism or LGBT hate and similar things, actual racism and sexism just aren’t opinions) thats the problem, you cant reason with most people in the woke spectrum, the original idea of woke was being aware of racism and informing about it, great goal, but the “woke” now is as said basically a religion of close minded people.
Sounds to me like it is more about the people aggressively proclaiming “we good everyone else evil” and not so much about the actual people that are being called woke by the likes of trump and other right wing extremists… The people who actually think of themselves as woke are usually not in the extreme spectrum you are referring to.
I would think of myself as “woke” and I very much agree with your statement:
I can definitely live with different opinions where opinions are reasonable (i don’t accept “opinions” that are just antisemitism or LGBT hate and similar things, actual racism and sexism just aren’t opinions)
The woke the trumpists mean is just the new word for communism/socialism. They would definitely call me woke, while the actual woke would call me a conservative and the people i understand as woke did and do call me literally Hitler.
I don’t want to be associated with woke, especially not in my country (they played themselves into a corner and get more and more radical but that story would fill a 3 part documentary) but i do definitely align with a big portion of their reasonable points, in some points i have a little different perspective and therefore a slightly other stance, but thats already enough for the woke I mean to call me Nazi/literally Hitler. And the people i think of call themselves woke publicly or even argue that woke is a term that can only apply to black people because they started it (wich i would consider racism)
I am shocked that Linkerbaan hates MBFC. Shocked.
All reddit.world users will face the wall
Seems like a gigantic clownshow, glad that i blocked LW
