Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

Actual .ml experience (from a guy who has different opinions):

  • have a different opinion
  • some marxist-lenninist (or multiple) replies with a massive paragraph with several citations with primary sources proving your opinion incorrect
  • realise you were wrong the entire time
  • become a marxist-lenninist

Also like come on, I've seen you around on .ml and all you want is to stir things up and ignore the evidence that other people provide, or say it's just wrong without providing any alternative sources.

My actual .ml experience:

  • share a different opinion from the groupthink
  • multiple tankies reply in unison at the beat of a drum, dropping high school memes and insults, misinterpreting what's being said and refusing to listen or even bother to prove anything wrong
  • try to defend myself
  • get site-banned by admin

I'm genuinely interested, can you provide a link if that example is still up?

I agree that insulting you is not a good resolution or a nice thing to do.

[โ€“] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I sincerely can't find it. I know it's a huge thing over there to "ask for links or it didn't happen", but I changed accounts and even unblocked the instance while trying to look it up. I think my entire post history got scrubbed along with the ban, which I find hilarious, because how do I prove it happened if the admins deleted the whole thing? lol

[โ€“] pineapple@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 weeks ago

I agree it does happen a lot and it is frustrating, the deleting posts, mostly because I am genuinly curious as to what happened.

Every time I enter a conversation all the posts are already deleted so I cannot know if the comments where reasonable or not.

"ask for links or it didn't happen"

I dont really disagree with this there is a lot of misinformation around and its important to provide reputable sources in order to backup your claim.

I have found that ML's tend to refuse to accept alternative views when supported by similar sources. Almost as if they are not interested in political philosophy or discussion but rather have just memorised doga and get worked up when you push passed their talking points.

[โ€“] pineapple@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 weeks ago

Most of the time when this happens it is because you are using western media as evidence. Western media often has tons of mis/disinformation so it's best to stick to primary sources or sources that reference primary sources.

If I'm wrong I'm happy for you to provide an example, I'm sure there are some because not all .ml people are reasonable, just like not everyone on any instance.

All i got was a quote of his ex-wife and an evaluation of another book. So please stick to the facts.
