  • The past participle of a verb is used as the passive participle (e.g. indicates the passive voice, where the patient of the verb is the subject and the agent is the indirect object). “She was killed” or “He was eaten” is in the passive voice, while “I died” or “I killed” is in the active voice. It’s normally supposed to be preceded by an auxiliary verb (in this case “be”), but news titles omit the copula among other things.

    Which person decided to domesticate that thing. Just like “hey I found this weird looking grass fruit wanna enslave it” and chief’s like “hell yeah of course I wanna enslave it!” and then they just ate increasingly beady grass for a few thousand years

    There’s plenty of Anarchist and non-ML communities on .ml and hexbear. The hardcore Maoist stuff doesn’t apply to most of the communities on .ml. Either way though, the communities they do have isn’t as relevant to federation for lemm.ee since the admins stated they only consider defederation for activities on lemm.ee. Which again, I would say lemmy.world and other instances have had just as much of a problem. That’s relevant because in that case, if we’re defederating .ml/hexbear, logically we should defederate .world.

    Every day on this site I see people who are into transphobia (“I don’t believe in trans people” I shit you not is something I’ve seen), Palestinians ethnic cleansing, want to get rid of healthcare, all that Project 2025 and “ancap” stuff. And they’re mostly from lemmy.world and sometimes instances like sh.itjust.works. Their propoganda seems to prove far more consequential on the site, as most people will think you’re a lunatic if you say China is a free and democratic nation, but a lot of people will buy what is now mainstream far-right propoganda and culture war nonsense. Although both of those will tell Americans to not vote for Kamala.

    So let me get this straight:

    You think it’s okay that Israelis colonized Palestine. You think it’s okay that they’ve displaced and murdered millions throughout their entire existence, taken hundreds of Arab towns and cities and renamed them with Hebrew names. You decry anyone pointing out that Israel does this stuff as ‘hate’. On top of that, you’ve argued that slurs are okay, and that it’s “woke” to say slurs are bad. You’re literally a modern Nazi cosplaying as a leftist.

    But somehow, you have the resolve to crawl around my comments, trying to get your ego back apparently, and you do the mental gymnastics to conclude that “defederation is reserved for extreme cases” is equivalent to ‘defending redfash’. That’s creepy. What is wrong with you, you freak? Why do you want to defend indiscriminately blowing up civilians, women, children so badly? Because they’re the wrong ethnicity? Do you really think anyone’s going to believe you calling anti-genocide protestors “Nazis” while you support the people who contribute to Israel’s war crimes and prop up this ethnostate?

    How do you suppose you get to label other people fascists, you fascist? Why don’t you have any introspection?







  • I completely get the stance you have. I just can’t agree with the view that the instances are as bad as fascist instances. I mean some of the communities there definitely express heinous views don’t get me wrong, but they’re a leftist instance with many different types of leftism. There’s the extremist “tankie” communities (one might call them) with all the Russian and North Korean apologia (yes, internet MLs think North Korea is free and democratic), then there’s most of the rest of the instance with well-adjusted but very leftist views. This goes for .ml and hexbear but, I haven’t seen much of anything other than authoritarian communism on lemmygrad so I can’t say anything positive about that.

    I think most instances have their extremely problematic areas that those admins don’t see as problems, and we have to weigh whether those problems are serious enough to cause major problems for lemm.ee. Seemingly in our admins’ opinions, and my opinion, hexbear and .ml are easily dealt with by just blocking them. I have seen a ton of cryptofascists and actual pedophiles from some other specific large instances (cough .world), and while I certainly put some blame on the instance admins for catering towards people with those views somewhat, I don’t want to defederate from them. There’s tons of good reason to federate with .world, and tons of good reason to federate with .ml, and with hexbear. They all contribute a lot of non-political stuff to my feed. Hexbear has probably the best trans communities along with blahaj.zone, probably like 1/3 of the posts in my feed are from .ml plus .world.

    IMO, since there are a lot of instances that defederate those instances already, the classic use of the Fediverse is to have your account on one of those instances. Or to block the instance if you don’t want to go that far. I go on lemm.ee specifically so I can see all the fediverse has to offer without having to change between a bunch of different accounts because of defederation. I don’t want the LGBT and leftist communities I participate in to be blocked because a bunch of guys in the instance have really bad opinions. Unless they’re spreading abuse content or something, I’d probably rather be able to see the instance.

    Sorry for the wall of text, but defederation is an important topic that affects everyone on the site, I think it should have a lot of elaboration.

    …? I’m confused. Is ani.social a Nazi/anti-Palestine instance? I’ve had a total of 2 interactions with people from there mentioning Germany denying Israeli war crimes, and both of those people happened to be pro-ethnostate and immediately went the genocide denial route. I guess weebs on Lemmy are just as conservative as weebs on Reddit or something

    Edit: Oh, it’s mostly porn/erotic content and talking about erotic content in anime… so it’s literally just the Reddit anime communities, but on the fediverse. Welp, that’s enough Lemmy for today
