As a resident of a politically indifferent instance that is on good terms with everyone, I can say one thing:

Fuck absolutely everyone who turns Lemmy into yet another Internet battlefield.

Leave .ml alone. Leave Hexbear alone. Even yes - leave Lemmygrad alone. People there will not change their opinion when facing hatred, and newbies coming there doesn’t change the big picture, as Lemmy is federated and they can figure stuff out for themselves.

Trying to silence entire instances, especially the biggest ones, is absolutely not a welcoming picture to whoever’s coming here, and being cut out and filtered for happening to choose the “wrong” instance is the worst possible greeting.

My instance has communities dedicated to this shit.

Some of your more vocal voices in this crusade against .ml tend to be pretty active in drone kill footage communities.

Having someone who actively supports Israeli operations in Gaza browbeat others about comments on Uyghurs is just a context to get used to.

It gets pretty easy to ignore once you see a full cycle of it.

The zionists here, too? I used reddit for over a decade and left because of how awful zionists barrage reddit into a propogandist cesspit. And yes screw anyone who makes lemmy a battleground like reddit

Lemmy is generally leaning pro-Palestine, but it varies.

Lemmy.world has the most Zionists on Lemmy, as well as the most tolerance for Zionism and erasure of the US’ involvement in the genocide.

Shit, I clearly joined the wrong fediverse. I’d rather be called a tankie then be in the same boat as zionists. Tho tbh I search all of the fedverse and pro israeli genocidal content isn’t too prevalent while reddit is genuinely taken over by zionists and American/European evangelicals

I have been directly censored and banned on a large and active Lemmy.world community for explaining why the US is involved with the Palestinian genocide. I can’t paste the modlog here because doing so breaks Lemmy.world’s rules.

In case you check my modlog, here is the context for the [email protected] ban. The moderator banned me for calling out their regurgitation of white supremacist “anti-DEI” nonsense about non-white people being included in God of War. They since deleted their account and locked the sub, now its just bot posts for the most part.

[OPINION] The gaming industry is heading for a big crash. And we should let it happen. - Lemmy

Edit: Well it seems like people here don’t agree with me. OK. I’m locking this post now as the very thing that I said happens has happened. Right here. I was called a bigot for being against DEI. Calling people racists or bigots and/or claiming harassment when those people call You out and then screaming VICTIM is simply unacceptable Most of you have also proved my very first point for my far more effectively than I ever could >Being a gamer on the internet in 2024 is not a very pleasant experience. Which unless you conform to the beliefs of the very loud and vocal minority is unfortunately a fact of life 2024. The hard leftists have decided they own the internet and gaming industry and everyone else who dares oppose them is not welcome. Being a gamer on the internet in 2024 is not a very pleasant experience. You either support DEI in games or you’re a racist bigot. There’s no middle ground. What happened to the days when we could talk about the games we like without having to worry if we are ALLOWED to like a certain game? If I was proclaim my support for Suicide Squad kills the Justice League the right wing gamers would yell at me. If I was to say I didn’t like Suicide Squad Kills the Justice League the left wing gamers and the journalists would yell at me. There’s no way to win. My person opinion is all politics, racial issues and gender identity should be left out of games and writers should create the stories that they want to create without worrying if they have enough white or black or gay or trans characters. As long as the story is good and the gameplay is good and the characters are well developed most people don’t care what colour the main character is or if they’re gay or not. But in 2024 that just isn’t the world we live in anymore. The developers and journalists seem to have decided that gamers are the enemy and will be told what to like and if they push back they are branded as taking part in harassment campaigns. So the gaming industry crashing and having to start again probably wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. I’m tired of being told what to like and what not to like by developers, journalists and other gamers on both sides of the arguments. I’ve been a gamer for 34 years and I don’t have any desire to buy any new games or support any developer for the foreseeable future and that makes me sad. I love playing games and I loved talking about games but things have changed and it’s no longer fun.
