Diva (she/her)

I’m not trying to be rude either tbh. That said I don’t see the danger here that you see. If russia and china are spending money on influence operations on lemmy it’s manifestly a waste of resources. There’s platforms out there with way more reach and that’s why states like the US and Israel are so obsessed with controlling those platforms.

I can appreciate not liking the way people here behave, I do generally encourage people who don’t like the vibe to avoid it.

Since joining Lemmy I have been repeatedly harassed by men on this instance, threatened with murder and rape by users including open Nazis (this was also happening on Reddit), and permabanned for being a woman,

Wow, I knew .world was bad, but holy shit I have never had to deal with anything this egregious in my time here on .ml. That said I did get banned from a .world comm as retaliation for banning jordanlund from /c/transgender when he posted a matt walsh video

US propaganda doesn’t exist, idk what you’re talking about. It’s just russian botlords controlling everything

“I have to admit, I’m always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up,” the CIA agent says.

“Thank you,” the KGB agent says. “We do our best but truly, it’s nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them.”

The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. “Thank you friend, but you must be confused… There’s no propaganda in America.”

Russia is clearly to blame for the people you don’t like online

I only clear my inbox every few months, I like to see how big I can get the number

city government: run by suburban car lovers, absolutely intractable, getting bike or bus lanes might as well be happening on the moon

state government: run by liberals who largely run near or entirely un-opposed. They do good things sometimes, but are simultaneously incapable of forcing municipalities to do good things, and roll over the feds when pressed. For example, no resistance to the fucked up ICE kidnapping campaign that’s still going on.

National government is a hot mess and voting in my state has had a zero percent chance of influencing it in every election I’ve been alive for.

“democracy”

Everyone already knows I’m like this

I shamelessly jack hexbear emojis

they committed the worst crime: having moderation practices on their server that upset liberals, that’s the primary motivation for the python spinoff

Honestly you are best off blocking the Lemmy.ml instance. They are Tankie authoritarian boot lickers that keep showing up in abusive mod communities and they have their own community dedicated to their brigading: [email protected]

red scare never ended lol

cm0002:

it seems such a stupid waste of my time and I’m afraid I might just end up blocking real people who happen to express themselves in a strange way

I definitely get accused of being a bot a lot, I’m just like this

there’s also hexbear, I go there for the megathreads mostly

Homura Akemi 😌

what’s the appeal? I’ve run into no reasons to switch, and I don’t even use any apps.

I never stopped doing organizing work since Trump 1, during the Biden regime a lot of people went back to brunch, it was harder to find volunteers. Now they’re all back and ready to be mad at the government and do work.

MS-13 or Russia

neither of those are real concerns tbh. Americans should be concerned about housing, feeding and providing medical care to everyone before worrying about external threats.

hexbear is heavily transfem and bans aggressively for misogyny/transphobia. Spending some time there when their recent domain crisis defederated from the rest of Lemmy was actually quite relaxing

I’m leftist, but

classic lol

.world is about as anticommunist as you can expect, if that’s not enough for you maybe you could relocate to one of the Nazi servers
