Banned from lemmy.ml for suggesting spam was Russia
-
It’s Mali’s TLD, they just like that it lines up with Marxist-Leninist
Fuck now you’re telling me I mixed up Malaysia and Mali?! Just put me out of misery now
-
what? The good folks at Lemmy.ml didn't like you talking down about a dictator?
Wild!
Lol what’s especially frustrating is the fact that I didn’t even! Literally just made the broad assumption that it was of Russian origin.
It’s the digital equivalent of seeing a foreign bomber plane and being like hmm probably the US because we love bombing people. Like yeah you might be wrong… but you’re probably right depending in where you’re physically located!

Lemmy.ml and even more so lemmygrad.ml (the latter is defederated from by most sane instances across the Threadiverse) are tankie platforms. Tankies believe in alternative facts, such as the fact that nobody died in the Tiannamen Square Massacre. Or if they did then they deserved it. Or if they did not then it was necessary. Or if it wasn't then... - I am saying that you should expect arguments to shift goals moment to moment, based on the personal biases and need to appear right on the Internet, regardless of any need to actually be thus.
And don't even get me started on hexbear.net, which has no real beliefs at all beyond the raw need to troll people incessantly (this one is also defederated from by nearly all sane instances across the Threadiverse).
So, you are missing out on nothing important whatsoever. Consider yourself fortunate that you discovered this early on.

Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.
I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.
Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.
Cochrun.xyz wasn't even the largest spammer. rabotaem.app was, and if you go there (I'd suggest not), it is a Russian language Lemmy site...
The site they were spamming for is based in China.

Malaysian here. I was gonna make you feel better by pointing out the similarities between us but after looking them up... Yeah, I got nothing.

You sound like a mcmurican
You sound like a tankie.
There, now we're even.

Prior to the edit people probably thought they were trying to be snarky about the rules inatead of their intent to show the rules are displayed despite the OP not seeing them.
OP was clear about wondering if it was the app they were using.
This comment made no clarification whether they used the same app or got this from a browser.
Then closed with a clown emoji.

The clown was part of the edit and directed at the people downvoting.

That’s because they’re actually propagandists for those authoritarian governments pretending to be communist. They’re about as communist as the Nazis were socialist.

Yeah, but the tankies still love them. It's weird. Putin openly acknowledges he's trying to rebuild imperial Russia, not the USSR, and still.
It's weird, but they like him because he's an opposition to the west. They like him because they hate the west.

Yeah... except no - nothing at all provided in Lemmy restricts users on that instance from trolling you in your DMs, and in posts in communities located on other instances.
You either have to block each user account one by one (and keep repeating that as new ones pop up), or else switch to PieFed to gain the ability to apply a true instance block affecting all users on it at once.
In fact I hear that lately PieFed.social even applies a user-level instance block against Lemmy.ml by default for all new joiners. It is easily removable and a DM sent to the user explaining how. The feature is transparent as a bag of rocks - I cannot even find solid confirmation that it actually exists - but aside from that it's a good step IMHO to protect the reputation of the Threadiverse from exactly OP's scenario.
I had to manually block .ml.
Well I didn’t have to I just wanted to.

I usually just scroll down really quickly... 🥳
