Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ?

Submitted ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Blaze@feddit.org⁩ to ⁨newcommunities@lemmy.world⁩

Asking as there has been a few comments mentioning this with the new !stardewvalley@lemm.ee taking over !stardewvalley@lemmy.ml

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for additional context on those recent events if you are interested

Also, an older post for more context on how lemmy.ml is managed: lemmy.world/post/16211417

Curious to hear other thoughts about this, as I’m trying to keep !simracing@lemmy.ml active, but might suggest to move it elsewhere if a lot of people prefer not to interact with lemmy.ml communities

If you move sim racing, would you mind replying to me to let me know? I follow the current one just cause I think sim racing is neat. If it gets moved I’d love to follow the new one

(Totally fine if that’s too much work :)

I wish that political ideology wasn’t such a thing to worry about on Lemmy. It’s sadly easy to find extremist content, even on the homepage, when you’re not logged in.

  100% of the people I’ve recommended Lemmy to irl have not only been turned away by exactly that but then actually give me dirty looks for having recommended it to them.
  
  We who block such tend to forget: a new user faces a very different experience, full of e.g. calls to murder landlords and sometimes even people with like just bank accounts.
  
  Imagine if this was NSFW content that wasn’t labelled as such! Which is highly ironic bc I find that NSFW content is extremely well-behaved on Lemmy?! :-P
  
  Sadly, politically extremist rhetoric refuses to label itself in like manner:-(.

Also blocked it.

I prefer to support smaller instances, but don’t have a problem with lemmy.ml specifically (whereas I do sometimes go out of my way to avoid lemmy.world)

bloodfart@lemmy.ml ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago
Nope.

TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago
Yes, but not really deliberately. I catch the instance ban hammer from their fragile admins so often I never get established in any of their comms

vxx@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago
Absolutely.

WanderingVentra@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago
Nope. I participate everywhere in the lemmy fediverse I can and never really had any issues with mods yet, which is surprising as I don’t hesitate to get into political arguments generally. Ive blocked users, but never an instance. I take everything on a community by community and user by user basis.

I block subs and users and that usually takes care of 99% of the bullshit

  Do you do it individually, or use like an app or something? Bc the Lemmy instance block does very little - only blocking communities but not users from that instance.
  
  PieFed btw allows user blocking of any custom instance you want though:-) - I just switched to it today and think I am going to be happier here. It's not quite as polished as Lemmy, but on the other hand I don't see true user-level blocking *ever* being added to Lemmy no matter how long the wait. So I decided that I was tired of wading through the garbage rooting for treasure, and just decided to block it all.

    I’m on boost so maybe its just client side. Tbh i don’t know much about how lemmy functions under the hood. It’s been fun tho

Depends. I’ve reccomened this before too, but I keep both world and ml “World News” communities because even though they’re defederated, having both seems to encompass a better range of sources and topics.

AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago
Depends on the community and what has been posted. If it’s something simple like AskLemmy and people aren’t being super weird or preachy about communism or whatever, I don’t find harm. I personally don’t think I’ve had any bad experiences with them outside of the time I said I didn’t trust a certain news outlet, which I cannot remember the name of.
