Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.
cm0002@lemmy.zip 3 days agoI have reasons, I’ll just copy paste a previous response:
For other people blocking me, I don’t really care if they do or don’t, it’s just unfortunate unintended side effects for the actual reasons:
Shopping for a new home instance
Exploring the Threadiverse from different perspectives (the “hot” feed you see can vary quite a bit depending on the instance you’re on lol)
::: spoiler Trolling .ml (or Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin lemmy.world/post/30673342
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: lemmy.world/post/18236068
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin lemmy.world/post/27426510
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev lemmy.world/post/27352415
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team. :::)
Learning that the bot intended to better interconnect instance comms may not be doing as good of a job
Interconnecting wayward or much smaller instances, a couple of them are missing even the big comms, one I was on the other day I needed to manual have it federate with every comm I posted to
For the creation of comms on fitting instances or just among a regular rotation of general instances so I’m not making a whole bunch on any one instance -

I’m just finally looking at those links that you list. Based on just the first couple of “quotes”, they’re not direct quotes but your interpretation of what they’re saying. I get it that you hate lemmy.ml and the Lemmy devs, but this is pretty poor behavior to claim that those are direct quotes.

“Uyghur atrocity propaganda equate birth control with genocide.” Is his literal words for the first one, some are memes and you almost have to interpret into a quote. How do you directly quote a meme?
Besides, here’s one that just happened earlier today, no quotes no interpretation other than saying what happened (banning people who call out Russian propaganda): lemmy.zip/post/53268068
And those are only highlights, the megathread has many MANY examples

Please explain how:
“It’s kinda funny because the evangelicals like Zenz peddling the Uyghur atrocity propaganda equate birth control with genocide. Plus many of them think that birth control also contributes to ‘the white genocide’”
that Dessalines wrote becomes:
“Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control!”?
How can you claim that that is a direct quote in your supposed dossier of Lemmy dev statements post that you keep spamming? It seems that many (most? all? I haven’t reviewed all of them yet) of your other “quotes” are similar in nature - your own radically distorted interpretation of what they said.
I would be careful if I were you, because you could be opening yourself up to be sued for libel in some jurisdictions. You could easily correct this by making it clear in your posts that those are not direct quotes from the devs but your own paraphrases and reinterpretations.

That’s what they want. They want you to never actually click a link, they want you to take their word for it.
Some of the stuff that’s actually said it atrocious and disgusting. Some of it is hyperbole and out of context to make them look bad.
Meanwhile if we just post their actual wording and actual beliefs, people would side more against them.
If we mixed in hyperbole and bullshit with the real, it gives them ammo. It makes people second guess. It just muddies the water.
But they’re on a trade against weirdos online who think Russia is cool for various inconsistent reasons that contradict each other. So why not lie and repost memes manually? That’s clearly a better time if someone’s life.
