  • You should read the sidebar’s at least, they’re heavily biased, but upfront about it.

    It’s been their safe space longer than most other instances have been around. It’s also a good idea to look at modlogs when coming across a new sub/instance.

    Not everything shows up there though. Like if someone is banned and has all their content removed, it won’t all show up in the log. But when individual comments are removed, it’ll show you what was said.

    Don’t just assume everyone online will be upfront about their biases



  • Where has LW announced that they would be defederating?

    People kept saying it one of the recent daily threads people have been making.

    Which is what they are trying to achieve by promoting those communities in this post?

    You think posting repetitively here is the same as:

    If you want to build up alternatives, post and comment so they’re more active.

    How does that make sense?

    But if you want to move discussion off their communities make posts in those alternatives. That would actually do something.

    These posts are Susan G Kommen levels of difference making…


  • We getting one of these a day now?

    If you don’t like it, petition your admins (via posts on your own instance) to defed.

    If they don’t want to, find a new instance that does, or stay and block their instance so you don’t see their subs.

    If you want to build up alternatives, post and comment so they’re more active.

    I just don’t see the point of these posts when most Lemmy users have been around for a while and know what lemmy.ml is like by now.

    Be the change you want to see, post in those communities yourself instead of these daily announcements threads on an instance that’s already defederating apparently



  • You think the nuclear bombs were a genocide?

    Seriously, who “taught” you this stuff?

    I am genuinely curious where people presented all of this stuff you’re saying as history.

    Like, it’s almost like the only thing you know about civilian deaths in WW2 was American dropped nukes.

    There’s sooooo much that you’re missing. But unless you dropped out of school at a very young age, I can’t be the first person that tries to explain this to you

    So where are your opinions coming from?

    Is this a thing where you learned everything you know about a subject from YouTube videos?

    If so…

    Why?



  • If you think there was anyway they’d have surrendered without nukes then yes, I will agree that you are “not an expert”.

    For fucks sake, after the nukes there was still an attempted coup to prevent surrender…

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyūjō_incident

    People thay think Japan surrendered because of loss of life, have no idea what they’re talking about about.

    Japan surrendered because they thought America had more nukes, and if they kept fighting then Japan would be left uninhabitable for centuries due to atomic contamination.

    The people who tried the coup, did so because they thought America didn’t have more nukes.

    They weren’t stupid,

    They weren’t, but honor was/is huge in their culture, and Japan was an empire for thousands of years.

    They’d have fought to the last Japanese civilian was alive

    They surrendered, and I know I’m repeating myself, because they thought their islands would be literally wiped off the face of the planet.

    Anything less wouldn’t have won the war and cost more lives on both sides.

    Even as a trolly problem, it’s not a tough call on if nukes saved lives.




  • I got a ban for pointing out the nuclear strikes on Japan killed less than the conventional firebombing runs leading up to it, and if nukes wouldn’t have been used a shit ton more people would have died.

    Like, no opinion on if what was morally right or not, just what the numbers worked out.

    It’s all trolls over there, when a rational person makes a community, the admins start drama there and troll the mods till they leave or get kicked out for stupid shit.

    I just blocked the whole instance. I never see any of their posts now, and as an unintended bonus I don’t even get notifications when their users reply to my comments.

    Like, it would be best if we defederated from them and that hilariouschaos troll instance.

    But I can just block them, works the same.




  • Obviously not, but considering you’re having difficulty understanding basic rules that exist on every form of social media, there was probably a good reason for the first one.

    Lemmy is the easiest to get away with it, but you keep making similar versions of the same username and immediately talking about how you’re evading bans.

    Like, it’s hard to believe you’re really not able to understand this, which would leave trolling as the only explanation for your behavior
