    Honestly… yeah.

    Hexbear is a no brainer to block but ml was very much “fine” with a high tolerance for tankie idiots. But it feels like the hexbears figure out they are all blocked and are now just moving to ml en masse.

    Sucks because there are actually some good users on there. But I just can’t with the swarm of righteous stupidity.

          My favorite are the couple openly trans people who consistently simp for regimes that would gladly disappear them.

          Don’t forget Putin bravely defending himself against western imperialism by invading neighboring nations, and how he must secretly be a communist no matter how much of the country he has privatized and sold off to his cronies.

            I’ll never understand why tankies defend a colonial imperialist oligarchy like Russia when it has nothing to do with socialism/communism.

              Because the vast majority are just as stupid as the libertarians. They don’t actually know what socialism or even communism is. They just know they were told that capitalism is bad (and… it mostly is) and that if they support this revolution they’ll get everything they want.

              Its why so many are hellbent on accelerationism. They think that they’ll become warlords during the civil war and get exactly what they want.

        The Holodomor was a myth. As if a socialist regime would intentionally starve millions of people!

        Disclaimer: famines can and do happen under capitalism, even intentionally (e.g. Ireland) but at least there’s no widespread denialism like you see when they occur under ostensibly socialist regimes. And if they are acknowledged, then the debate switches to whether or not the country is truly socialist, or somehow this is still capitalism’s fault.

      I am very new to the fediverse, and .ml was the second instance I tried as I was feeling things out. I was not having a good experience at all. I saw so much content that didn’t sit well with me, and the discourse made me never want to comment. It’s validating to hear it’s not just me.

        Yeah, I got banned from lemmy grad and hexbear awfully quick here and almost gave up on the whole fediverse before someone pointed out you can block instances.

          I actually got permabanned from both without ever commenting on either. I think I argued with a few users from both under a post at .ml and that did it.
