I selfhost a searxng instance and honestly forget it's a thing until I'm rebooting my pi or something then wonder why search isn't working lmao

On the various posts in this current flood of "Communists should leave the communist instance for my own comfort" nonsense, even the anti-.ml crowd can't provide good examples of how anyone who looks at them funny gets banned. Nobody has modlog receipts and almost every example THEY provide of communists oppressing them or whatever is THEM saying dumb nothings like "I can't hear you over Tienanmen Square" or cussing up a storm while the .ml person is like "Here's a book about XYZ"

I'm sure people have been perhaps hastily moderated on .ml, but probably not any more than any other instance, and if so they aren't the ones rallying to de-ML .ml.

That's really the kicker for me with those people. The louder they shriek about being moderated for outright dickish behavior, the faster they'd ban you on their own turf for politely sharing a source that counters their narrative.

I've agreed with you basically since the beginning of my lemmy experience about .world. I think that's just where most Reddit refugees landed (including myself initially) so that's why they have such a high concentration of people wanting this Reddit-adjacent neolib singular authority and want so strongly to defederate from anything remotely left of Biden -

Or even go as far as the post I assume OP is based off of and screech about free speech by arguing how the MLs who BUILT LEMMY should abandon their .ML domain to make the instance less ML. Cause that's how free speech works. >.>

Long means correct, apparently. Nevermind what’s being said.

Considering the counter argument was "Fuck you you're wrong," I'm going to go ahead and side with the person who actually makes a coherent point. Any point at all, really. "I CAN'T HEAR YOU LULZ" doesn't count.

Not all bans are permanent, not all bans are global. Sure, but if you were constantly getting temp bans, it'd be preettttyyyy easy to show some receipts, if it were true and not just a rallying cry for some butthurt capitalist stans.

I get it buddy. You don't like leftists, so anything leftist is bad. Righties love screaming at me about the modlog, so allow me to turn it on you - If you stay getting banned, show us. Show us you getting banned and all your comments being removed for disagreeing. Should be easy since supposedly anybody left of Biden isn't allowed to exist on .ml, right?

Never stop never stopping

I don't know if you linked the wrong post or what cause I see one person making lengthy arguments and offering sources while the other makes dinky diversions. Not a great argument on your behalf.

You are mocking peoples honest experiences of this instance

Am I? Because if you're (or whoever is) here arguing about being banned from .ml, you're notably not banned from .ml, and if im reading sombodys "This comment will be removed" comment, it by definition hasnt been removed. 🤷

I never see this "Lenin is my daddy cull the herd uWu" nonsense y'all can't stfu about, but I sure can't escape the sea of "I dIsAgReE, sEe YoU oN tEh BaN lIsT!"

Which quite frankly I think SHOULD net a ban, this disingenuous "oh sure you can talk about redistributing wealth but I mention murder being bad AND IM BANNED DURR" bullshit is tiring.

I'm a cereal killer Its a bad habit I killed Tony, Lucky Charms, and that silly rabbit

I self host with Baikal. On android, you need Davx5 (on fdroid) to tie it into the OS but on your desktop (windows and Linux at least) calDAV will just be an option. Baikal supports CardDAV for contacts as well if you're into that.

All it takes is one low point, friend. I'm glad you've never been there around the wrong person at the wrong time but understand that its not just a "hmm I want to smell terrible today ❤️" situation.

I'm going to laugh if all this connectedness is the thing that makes people start supporting public transit and biking again lmao.

"Well who wants to fucking drive anymore if you actually get in trouble for breaking the law?!"

The enniest of passants
