At some point I have to start wondering if Putin pays these sorts of people.

    Pick whatever instance you find first, they said. It doesn’t really matter which one, you can participate all over lemmy, they said.

    Now every time i post a comment, people automatically assume I’m pro Russia and a tankie on account of having an account on lemmy.ml

    This sucks. I can’t believe I’m gonna have to migrate instances to be taken seriously on discussions.

          I was flabbergasted when I found out the word Chicken was sometimes censored. It would put removeden. Really saved me from those nuggets of hurtful baby hens.

            I heard that the filter used to be hardcoded and there was a lot of controversy because the devs refused to remove it or allow it to be customized but they folded when people were willing to fork it to remove the limitation or remove it altogether.

      We don’t believe you, you tankie vatnik.

      /s obviously.

      FYI, just making a new user on a different instance isn’t a big deal. Guess why there’s a “3” in my user name. Come to think of it, my first account was on lemmy.ml too, although the main reason why I moved at that time was because I forgot the password.

        I probably would’ve signed up at lemmy.ml if they hadn’t closed registrations in the Reddit migration, very glad I didn’t though from what has happened there. I signed up to Lemmy.world instead, and even though it is problematic in many ways at least the Admins there aren’t trigger happy power tripping bastards, trying to promote their pro-russia tankie shit.

      See it in a positive way: now you can carefully choose an instance that you like compared to your previous account

      Also, this must be my 10th alt. It takes a few minutes to export/import the settings and that’s it

      Don’t migrate because of the assumers; migrate to not subject yourself to an incompetent admin team.

      Remember in the early days of the Fediverse when people said it was all about “freeze peach”? Yeah that was not good. Not only is it wrong and would disappoint and piss off a lot of people when they learn about defederation and that you can still get banned, but it also attracts a lot of extremely rotten people to the platform. Remember exploding-heads? Yeah that was a side effect of that lie to try and promote the Fediverse.
