There’s also a lot of porn

That’s a lot of words man

This is an interesting conundrum.
On one hand it would help locate foreign agent bots/bad faith actors faster and recognize vote manipulation by bot farms.
On the other it will lead to even more account-stalking problems, user drama, and would further enable vote dogpiling if you see certain known users voted a certain way.

I’m inclined to say no. They are already “public” if one wants to put in the effort to admin a standalone instance or run alts on multiple services they can see if they care- I personally don’t really care

You don’t even have serial downvoters. You have a few comments without many downvotes. You just consistently post the worst possible political pisstakes repeatedly and constantly and nobody likes them when they run across it every time.

hm, they actually have blocked lemmy.world. didn’t know that.

welp, walled gardens gonna walled garden. I don’t have these problems from my instance

Also them directing people to go use world news is telling because the .ml world news community is heavily gatekept by a huge pile of tankies that will crush, remove and ban any remote mention of “Russa/China bad”.

Don’t link the Hexbear community. If you think .ml is bad, they’re 100x worse.

Beehaw has a fairly active politics comm, their moderation is more on the strict side but it’s “hey be nice and dont use slurs” kind of strict and not “how dare you say Russia is bad, banned” kind of strict. Id recommend them. Otherwise it’s .world.

Lemmy.ml admins making rash, sweeping decisions that are conveniently harmful to any open public discourse? I never would have guessed.

It federates…ish.

Some instances federate actions better than others, and even then it can be random which get properly federated- a lot of time site/community bans don’t get federated to the modlog right but content removals almost always do. I have a feeling this is largely intentional.

The most reliable method is always to check the home instance of the community/user directly.
