Right of passage I suppose

    I recently made the decision to unsubscribe from the vast majority of ML communities I was in. They’ve been getting a lot more obnoxious as of late, both in terms of the normal users as well as the mods getting more heavy-handed.

    Honestly, I recommend everybody consider it for themselves, as well. If you have communities hosted on ML, it might be a good idea to start migrating elsewhere, because I see them quickly becoming defederated from a lot of instances soon with the way they’re progressing.

    I blocked ML instance pretty quickly on my account. Heavy handed but probably for the best

      Honestly I prefer hexbear of lemmyml. I can’t say I agree with the people on hexbear but they do seem to be decently civil as of late.

        Too many people blocked hexbear so they made alt troll accts on .ml to continue being complete dickheads to everyone who doesn’t want them around, since their existence is entirely centered around evangelical style proselytizing of their views, mainly to feed their persecution complex, and that requires an unwilling audience. They still have their Hexbear accts I’m sure, but they’ll be maining the troll accts because they need their supply.

    Why would you say that when anyone can check the modlog and see it isn’t the case? You were banned from one community for one month.

    ETA: Oh, sorry: two communities for one month, which happened two weeks apart.

        hilariously they took a temp ban from /c/Linux, but just scrolling a little further they also just got a perm ban from NCD for " you don’t fit in here" because they mentioned the historical (and ongoing) American mistreatment of their indigenous population in a different thread

        I guess just being russiophobic isn’t enough to fit in with those types

      ML definitely plays games with the modlog. More than one of my bans never showed up there at all, and this was confirmed by other users on my instance who could still see my posts after the shadowban.
