I was slandered by @[email protected], (called a fascist) for exposing the censorship that goes on at lemmy.ml. The mods deleted my replies and Yogthos replied to me with my own reply image. Not only pathetic, but unoriginal.

It’s obvious to me now that Dessalines, Nutomic, Yogthos — and who knows who else — is controlling the narrative by heavily suppressing anyone they disagree with.

I see now there are many “smaller” but more active communities outside of lemmy.ml. Definitely felt like coming out of Plato’s cave once I started joining similar communities outside of the “ml” world.

Anyway, just thought I’d share my experience.

    Don’t interact with yogthos. I blocked him almost immediately after joining Lemmy. they’re not interested in dialogue.

      great advice. do you know if there’s any kind of “getting started” guide for lemmy? Would be great if step 1 is to block lemmy/lemmygrad and specific/known users.

      FYI yogthos is also on Mastodon, blocking yogthos[@]social.marxist.network should do the trick.

    i block the 3 tankie instances, they are just mirror image of conservatives, even use the same type of talking points.

    ML is a giant shithole that unfortunately hosts some normal communities (although I think the normal communities are slowly moving off ML).

    Man, I so don’t care about this Lemmy drama. Just join a Piefed instance if you’re not happy and stop interacting with lemmy.ml. Create your own damn communities with black jack and hookers instead.
