These instances wars really prove that people attack other people because of any difference they can find.

Sorry for being late to the party, but did you know that you can just block them? Hope this helps!
I mean.. it helps. I've seen less tankies after blocking .ml subs, but they're still there

If just for the purpose of avoiding centralisation, I think we should make an effort to not have everything on .world.
But I agree, it’s my personal opinion that my instance should defederate from ML on grounds of genocide denial.
If it worked like that, everyone would have defederated .world cca December 2023.
Of the people who say anything about it, there seems to be two mutually exclusive camps of people on Lemmy in regards to how it should be structured.
There's those who want it to be a drop-in replacement for whatever platform they migrated from (Reddit, ususally), with everything cultured in one simple, easy-to-browse place where there's enough activity to support diversity, just without the enshittification, even though the centralization they crave is exactly what invites the enshittification...
...and then there's those who specifically want the site to stay fragmented, because that's the whole point of federation, it keeps out all the riff raff, and prevents the platform from losing what makes it so great. But many of them complain about why it isn't growing as fast as they'd like it to, despite the fact that the fragmentation of community is by far the single greatest barrier preventing the mass adoption they yearn for.
Each one seems to want a piece of what the other has.
To be fair, if Lemmy's discoverability wasn't trash you could probably have both. I would love to have a bunch of small instances that were focused on individual topics, like Star Trek or anime or knitting or gardening or whatever and just jump between them. It feels like that's what federation was built for.
But because Lemmy is so small right now and discoverability is so bad it seems like almost every instance is either intentionally a tech / general purpose one or so adjacent it might as well be. As long as there's just one community for that thing that people can find that would be great, but instead there are like 10 spread around 3 different instances and 8 of them are dead and 1 just bot reposts the subreddit - and it's really hard to tell which is which. Like, if everything was actually on one instance at least you could just list everything.
Individuals have the power to block instances so I don't really understand why people are pushing for defederation. Just feels like ruining the fun for everyone just because they aren't having fun and aren't using the resources they have to make it fun. Defederation should be a last resort, and people seem to want to use it for petty squabbles. I don't like .ml or hexbear cause they're both tankies, but I'll just block the instances myself. Don't get why we gotta remove the choice from everyone else. But hey, I'm on .dbzer0 so if .world wants to defederate from .ml it isn't gonna affect me any

What would ya'll do without each other though?
Well, federation temporarily broke between .world and .ml for a bit a couple months ago and it was actually pretty nice. It was a turning point for me I think, up till that point the .ml issue was somewhat passive. Then they were just gone for a few days and it was kinda nice lmao
Westerners are easy to agitate because they live relatively cushy lives. I am not saying just because someone isn’t living in extreme poverty, they should be grateful. I am saying consider who is agitating you and why. More often than not, they just want to be the ones to control you, and hate that someone else is doing it instead. They don’t want what’s best for you.
Hey, guys. So, I haven't received any of my payouts from the CIA yet and I have pocket knives and stuff to buy, so... Is there like somebody in HR I can email about this or something?
Elgin air force base administrates most programs. You probably have to do basic training, but you may be able to work form home. Recruiters will promise that none of the fine print that enslaves you to mobile infantry role will ever be applied to you. After all, if we are successful in fighting humanity over here, we won't need you to fight it in Ukraine or Russia or China, and citizenship requires service.
Mobile infantry, you say? My desire to know more has suddenly intensified.

You gotta sling them an email at: Shirlab@ucia.gov
They should be able to put you in touch with accounts.

Good lord, and any criticism of an authoritarian communist government and they expose just how much they love the taste of boots.
I would tolerate them a little more if it weren't for the constant brigading.
Wanna analyze Marxist-Leninist-Maoist theory, self-crit, and all that good stuff? Fine by me, I like discussion of varying viewpoints. But often it's not about that but are bad faith arguments and whataboutisms about how the decadent West is ruled by the US and how Putin/Kim/Xi did nothing wrong.
It's exhausting. I don't go into their subs and rattle on about liberal market economics.
You couldn’t be more right. Take a look around, and you’ll see they’re here in the comments.

Chronically online posting
Every comment I get from .ml is just weird and bad. I'm really at the point of blocking the whole instance.
