      Idk, just got done reading yet another monologue from Cowbee about how the PRC really is better than the U.S. in every single way — I’d personally weigh .ml as being much more toxic.

        yeah, they’re fucking trash…
        and such propaganda garbage, i’m honestly just going to leave lemmy entirely if this is allowed to continue.
        users get banned for abusive behavior, why not the entire instance?
        the instances both encourage and just about require abuse…. and incredibly evil shit, like there’s a new trend of trying to manipulate the palestinian genocide to attack leftists.
        like reuters, aoc, radiohead….
        hexagon started out on reddit as el chapo trap house, and was banned for repeatedly abusing the site, including brigading other subs….
        so why allow instances who’s main purpose is to deceive or otherwise attack other instances?
        the fediverse will not work if we allow instances dedicated to abusing other instances.
        if they were alt-right chuds, they would’ve been defederated a long time ago… but instead we have government propaganda pretending to be alt-left and that’s allowed?
        and there’s no fucking way real flesh and blood people are really arguing that the PRC is better than the US in every way…

          Then… Get on an instance that defederates the tankie trio? That’s the beauty of the fediverse, you get to curate your experience.

          if they were alt-right chuds, they would’ve been defederated a long time ago… but instead we have government propaganda pretending to be alt-left and that’s allowed?

          This isn’t reddit, there’s no one central authority picking who gets defederated and who doesn’t. Chose an instance that aligns with your values

              ?

              I assumed you were a new user so I was trying to offer helpful advice. Not sure why you’re being passive aggressive and downvoting me, but ok. For somebody complaining about the state of the fediverse you’re not doing a great deal to be the change you want to see.

                that’s not passive aggressive, that pretty direct.
                because you’re repeating the same shit and offering extremely bland and broad platitudes, not actually responding to what i’m saying.
                i’m not a new user.
                it doesn’t help to join an instance defederated from the triad because they’re still commenting on and manipulating every post they can.
                it like saying “my neighborhood is on fire” and you respond “just stay inside your own house and don’t look out the window”….
                bruh, i can smell the smoke and my house is flammable….
                i know “this isn’t reddit” and i think you’re a condescending prick for saying that and then pretending like you’re “just trying to be helpful”
                i don’t need everyone to be nice.
                i need people to not be liars and sock puppets for north korea and shit…. and other instances to recognize that and defederate from extremely abusive instances, otherwise they will always be manipulating what you can see.
