I was wondering if they had introduced some javascript to invigilate people actually retyping a sentence which would be funny. But it literally just says copy/paste. And if you really felt badly about this text you could find a sentence like this one:
No.
And if that’s not good enough, well, I guess it’s just not the instance for you.
If you’re here, please put a question about “was General Dessalines’ decision to kill off the remnants of French slaver class in Haiti a genocide or not, regardless of whether you agree or not with the action?”
Then we’ll hear of them kkkrakkas complain about white genocide, when they search up that based purge… lmao
The comments on the .world post read like an advert for .ml. “They banned me for being a piece of shit, and tried to have slurs blocked in the source.”
The devs come off extremely based in that github thread the poster linked. “Fork it if you don’t like it” as if “Lemmy_but_with_slurs” is going to overtake the original version.
Close
“Another kkkracker down, infinite genocide on the Great Satan, the worldwide authoritarian terrorist empire known as the “””““united””“”" SStates of Amerikkka"
I really don’t understand why lemmy.ml’s instance description no longer has “leftist” in it as it once had. That probably would have prevented a lot of the confusion. (and probably would have somewhat preserved the “culture” of the instance even after the reddit flood)
There are a lot of American liberals there who think that being centre-right is actually “leftist” so I think it’s related to that. It isn’t really a leftist instance anymore and hasn’t been since the big reddit exodus, so that’s probably why.
It’s funny that hexbear and grad both talk about lemmy.ml as though its turned into reddit, meanwhile the .worlders all talk about it like it’s Bolshevik Central, all because the devs maintain their stance on not being orientalist and most westerners cannot conceive of a critique of a non-western country that isn’t couched in at least a little bit of racism.
.worlders are just so god damn attached to their winnie teh pooh posting from reddit that they can’t conceive of a society that disallows it without it being jorge orwal
I think the mods on lemmy.ml are fairly active at combating casual racism and ableism eliminating freezepeach, so I could see why the .worlders hate it so much.
I really don’t understand why lemmy.ml’s instance description no longer has “leftist” in it as it once had.
Some communists have taken to not calling themselves “left” anymore because they see it as synonymous with “liberal” and a barrier to reaching republican voters who automatically switch off the moment they get a whiff of anything left due to programming. The intent being to shift away from left/right altogether because in american politics it’s synonymous with culture war when when communists say left we mean it in economic contexts.
