At some point I have to start wondering if Putin pays these sorts of people.

    Pick whatever instance you find first, they said. It doesn’t really matter which one, you can participate all over lemmy, they said.

    Now every time i post a comment, people automatically assume I’m pro Russia and a tankie on account of having an account on lemmy.ml

    This sucks. I can’t believe I’m gonna have to migrate instances to be taken seriously on discussions.

      See it in a positive way: now you can carefully choose an instance that you like compared to your previous account

      Also, this must be my 10th alt. It takes a few minutes to export/import the settings and that’s it

      We don’t believe you, you tankie vatnik.

      /s obviously.

      FYI, just making a new user on a different instance isn’t a big deal. Guess why there’s a “3” in my user name. Come to think of it, my first account was on lemmy.ml too, although the main reason why I moved at that time was because I forgot the password.

      People are dumb everywhere. You’re not really wondering about that hm? 😉 I wouldn’t migrate because of that. Quite the contrary, the dumdums sort themselves out this way, saves a lot of time.

        But what you also have to consider, migrating instances sends a signal. Its the same as people who stopped using twitter because of musk. When you continue using something you make it look like you font really care, so migrating your account is a good way to tell the admins that you dislike their policies.

          While you’re totally right regarding twitter, i can’t say the same for those instances. I’m not deep enough in the matter to allow myself an opinion. I just don’t know about any politics about any instance. If there is, you’re totally right then too. Leaving is the best bet. If I’d knew my instance would wanna push a certain narrative, even if it’d be congruent with mine, I’d leave.

            The Main Problem is, that the Admins are straight up tankies. They also have no problems banning you from all the communitys they moderate if you say something they don’t like
