Whats the issue with ml?
It's full of whackjobs that love far-left authoritarian regimes. They're doing the left a huge disservice because they're bat shit crazy.
With claims like this, you make it very easy to dismiss what you're saying, but given that I kinda can guess what you mean if I give you the biggest benefit of the doubt humanly imaginable, are you referring to the type of people who say shit like "we should form a party" completely oblivious to the way their own politcal system works and the fact that it would only ensure that the only path to escaping the regime was sealed shut?
No, he's right. I know, it's hard to believe, but these people really are batshit crazy. We're talking stetements like "Stalin did nothing wrong", "China is right in killing the Uigures" and "Ukraine is former UDSSR territory therefore Russia is not invading".
I am in China right now, plan to go back to urumqi in a few weeks, just wanted you to know this is some "Portland is a warzone"-tier deviation from reality. Literally anyone can just go there.
If someone says something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they're lying.
That's an easy position to have except it immediately makes every conversation easy to cohear with sealioning.
I can understand being skeptical of the other persons summary of sentiment, I am as well, but I don't think your statement is accurate.
It's a mild exaggeration. I sometimes talk about things happening on the fediverse without providing a link, but the difference is, if I'm asked for a link, I can provide one. It isn't difficult to use the search function, especially if my memory of a conversation is reliable.
In any case, it's always best to assume the person is lying if they say something about their opponents' views that they can't actually back up. Like, I could say that I had some half-remembered conversation with somebody where they said they like to torture puppies. If you read that, it shouldn't go into the "maybe" column, it should do into the "false" column. It's false until it's validated with evidence, and that's especially true when evidence should be easy to provide.
If you treat it as anything but an outright lie, that promotes a culture of making stuff up, because bad actors are fine with getting people to think their opponents "might" torture puppies, and they won't get called out in that culture. This is how you get crybullies.
In any case, even if it isn't an outright lie or bad faith, you can't rely on people's memories. Hell, a lot of the time, a person couldn't even accurately restate the other person's position during an argument.
I've said this line dozens of times btw (and it's in my profile). I don't recall ever being proven wrong, they never have the receipts.
Today I got a "no russia is freeing Ukraine from nazis and the genocide that Ukraine was doing to russia" some fucking how lol
Can you provide some examples
You could check the MeanwhileOnGrad community that documents every bit of it, but your instance admins blocked it on your instance to keep you all in the dark and shield themselves from accountability. You'll have to view it from a different instance.
Popped over and saw a post saying a user was praising the Uyghur genocide. Read the post and instead it was a guy saying that China was successfully deradicalising terrorists...
So yeah. No ones saying "I love that China is genociding muslims!"
Hey look everyone! It’s a .ml user using a single example to serve as proof that the well-documented dumbassery of .ml is all just made up. Or you know, their MO for all disagreements.
Hey look everyone! It's multiple users who can't provide any examples to validate the rumors they're spreading about people they dislike!
Holy shit is like the projection is directed and purposeful!
I don't lie and spread rumors like y'all do. When I say something, I have the receipts. No projection here.
I know your game bud. It’s the same one played by all the kids in .ml, and the same one that MAGA plays.
You tie people up with demands of proof, then you attack the sources or make up bullshit examples of how it’s misunderstood using bad logic or anecdotal rhetoric- or you just whatabout it until people give up- thus prompting you to pat yourself on the back while donning a giant “I win” sign.
I don’t play little edgelord games. You want the proof go find it. It’s plastered everywhere. Now go on and do your little “I won!” dance and say “SEE! Because you won’t prove it it means it’s not true!” and walk away.
Or just walk away.
Sounds like a convenient excuse to just abandon any standards of evidence whatsoever, as is happening here.
If you can't provide any evidence whatsoever that a person or group says something, and they reject that characterization of their beliefs, then why should anyone believe a word of what you're saying?
Oh right, because of the power of tribalism. Gotta agree with all the bullshit or you won't be accepted into the in-group. Which is the actual "same game MAGA plays." The anti-intellectualism, tribalism, and lies are right out of their playbook. We can't really get through your wall of misinformation for the exact same reasons that you can't get through MAGA's misinformation, because on a certain level, you don't even care if the things you're saying are true or not.
Dude, I know why so many people block you.
Following suit. Hope the choir enjoys your sermon.
Because you had no counter argument
Least deranged anti-communist
You've got nothing and you know it
ROFL. I got nothing? Dude. There’s entire communities dedicated to providing proof. And it’s damn near on a daily basis with you people.
Get a clue.
"There's entire communities"
Great. It should be really easy to show proof then.

And you free to check the modlogs of .ml for yourself. Go ahead and note all the ambiguous “rule 1” violations, and compare them against the actual rule 1 violates notes.
I’m not doing the work for you. Now go be insufferable somewhere else.
I already checked meanwhileongrad and saw someone lying about a user supporting genocide.
I checked the modlog and saw instances of things on the lines of "oh I knew you guys were just tankies".
So let's quit this stupid game.
You show me an example of someone actually advocating for genociding Uyghur muslims or admit you're just making shit up to justify hating people you disagree with. There's "entire communities" so you shouldn't have much trouble.
Fucking hilarious.
You really do have nothing

There are entire communities dedicated to paranormal investigations, they've totally got evidence of ghosts too, and when you ask to see it they've got more to show than you do
That's one more than you provided
Isn't that com run by an actual fascist? Funny how "anti-authoritarians" always seem to just mean "anti-communist"
