You are fucking kidding me, right? I'm so fucking tired of seeing your reposts. You are spamming everyone's feed and are impossible to block. Every time I block one of your accounts you just switch to another. You're insufferable and making the threadiverse a worse place.

This is now the seventh account of yours that I'm blocking.

I haven't blocked any of his accounts and I don't see any duplicate of this post. Are you sure you're using the word repost correctly?

[–] CorrectAlias@piefed.blahaj.zone -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes. I have seen this post in other communities, primarily the shitpost ones. Let me see if I can find it.

This is actually part of the issue I have with them.

This was crossposted and is available in the crosspost menu of your client.

Edit: found the exact post, it's the same title and everything: https://sh.itjust.works/post/54438100

For one, I don't really crosspost from any other instances comms (save for the occasion where I know of a fitting small niche comm). For two, that's on an entirely different comm on a different instance ( !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world vs !funny@sh.itjust.works that this post is on.) Third, I only crosspost from .ml, so the irony here is that the OOP on .ml actually reposted it instead of crossposting lmao

I bet it's because he and I are on piefed, so we can't see the cross post.

Edit: nvm, just checked. The crosspost alert doesn't appear in both Sync and Voyager even with a Lemmy account, so its just an issue with the Lemmy client not supporting it.

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.
