The elephant in the room is that they're mostly bots or bad actors. They're written almost exactly the same and in the same format. When you call them on it, you are downvoted almost instantly and buried. We usually don't qualify to get the really good ones in here, but that's a good thing imo.
Geez, I wonder why baselessly accusing people of being bots would get you downvoted.
Did you know: blocking all posts and comments from .ml makes the fediverse experience way, way better!
Welcome to a tutorial on how to block .ml on your personal account.
In the top right corner of the top of the page, there are 3 horizontal white bars. Click it.
This will open up a drop down menu. At the bottom of that menu, you will see your username. Click it.
This will open another drop down menu with 3 options. Click “Settings”.
At the top of your screen you will see 2 tabs. Click the one that says “Blocks”.
Here you will see “Block user” “Block community” and “Block instance”. Click the down arrow below “Block instance”.
This will open up a search bar. Type “lemmy.ml” and click it after it shows up. That’s it! You’ve blocked .ml and will never see content from the instance.
But wait, we aren’t done yet in this menu. Click the down arrow under “Block user”. Now type “UltraGiGaGigantic” Make sure you select my .ml account as the other ones I no longer use. Thanks, appreciate it.
I don't engage with .ml
I just downvote everything from there and move on.
I prefer to see the patterns, I don't take it personally at all anymore. I'm a reddit veteran when they were 100x worse.
Where are these bots targeting lemmy coming from you think?
I don't know if they are bots. But I would imagine Russia. Russia loves to have a weak US with Republicans in power and Trump subordinate to Putin, and one way to get that is to have people not vote for Democrats.
Someone having a different ideology other than your own isn’t being a “bot” or a “bad actor.” Saying that just shows you don’t know anything about US politics.
Interesting a .ml user who defends China multiple times in the first few comments in their history says this. Pikachu face!
Hell yeah I do China is amazing
Unless you think basically any of the problems worsening under the trump administration, which they've had for decades, matter at all.
youre making this up.
I don't know if it's that way on Mastodon at all, but they're definitely on Lemmy. Why did you attack my comment so hard without trying to figure out where I'm coming from?
if you weren't making it up, you could provide evidence.
