Lemmy.ml apparently. When you type B…I…T…C…H it automatically turns to removed. They’re treating you like some kid who can’t handle grown-up words. Switch to another instance if you want more freedom with your choice of words.
Lemmy.ml banned me on my Startrek.website account years ago during the height of my posting. Like when I was posting 20 things every hour or two. Why? Posted some Jimmy Neutron meme about Disney having a first gay character and it being the 14th one this month. Title was like “Can always be the first in China at least for a couple minutes” or something along those lines.
From what I heard from some of the people who worked on .ml behind the scenes, they had to reverse the ban because a bunch of people started asking why there was no new content and other people started to realize it was because I had gotten banned.
Have never posted on lemmy.ml since and don’t bother to interact with the instance at all. I don’t have it blocked because not all users are like the admins but like fuck am I ever adding to that shithole ever again. I thought that was the worst I’d ever deal with from admins… and then I started getting personally harassed by the startrek.website admins across multiple websites and basically forgot about lemmy.ml entirely.
But, isn’t it wonderful that we can have a fediverse where there can be annoying instances like those ones, but if you don’t like it you can just move or block?
The fediverse is chaotic but I sure prefer chaos to having one corporate overlord with one point of view, and one goal, which is getting ads in front of as many eyeballs as possible.
I saw Margot Robbie, but i figured they’d been asked a thousand times if they were the real Margot, and even then it wouldnt have changed my interaction, so I just left it. Are they still around?
I never saw Biden, I thought his press account wod have been on bluesky
Not all of us. I just read what it said on the main page “A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers” and thought that sounded good. I’m sure a lot of people that were new to lemmy figured the instance run by the devs themselves would be a safe bet. There also wasn’t nearly as much drama around .ml back then, but it honestly hasn’t been enough of an issue to make me create an account on a new instance and switch.
I think it has to do with what they are used to. They never knew the freedom other instances provided.
Also, don’t you have to read like the Communist Manifesto to even join lemmy,ml? Sounds to me only something objectively stupid people would do to join an internet forum.

Blocking an instance only blocks you from seeing communities there, it doesn’t block you from seeing users posting in other communities.

I couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately, the devs are .ml fans, and they know such a feature would ruin their instance because people fucking hate them.
Check the changelogs for the latest release then. :)
What kind of bitches censor bitches? Like, what’s wrong with my dogs?
Holy shit sprog is here too! Big fan
Wait until you meet Margot Robbie and President Biden, who posted here in the early days and definitely wasn’t me.
Margot Robbie, SatansMaggotyCumFart, Kolanaki, The Picard Maneuver
We’ve got a whole list of local celebs that can be met!

You know him from outside the fediverse too?

It’s not the real Margot, just someone who plays her on TV.
Are you the legendary Poem for your sprog of yore?!
