Is there a way to shop around for a Lemmy instance based on how many instances are blocking it and how many instances it’s blocking? For example, I noticed that the lemmygrad.ml instance is relatively popular, but it seems like a lot of other instances block it. It also blocks a bunch of other instances. So, if there are any communities on there that might be relevant to me then I would be missing out. I guess I could just create an account on a walled instance, but I would prefer not to keep creating accounts. I’d like to just find one instance that maximizes my access. Is the answer to just run my own instance?
This dude is sealioning you, block and move one.
It’s not sealioning to respond to someone who’s engaging me by questioning their arguments.
They’re not sealioning, they’re responding to a bunch of strong, reasonably insulting allegations. Maybe not responding gracefully, but they’re not sealioning.
In fact, I don’t even think it’s possible for one reply to be sealioning, the whole point is that it’s repetitive harassment (as stated in the wiki link you posted). That’s why the original comic strip that defined it has so many panels.
There’s a thread of replies arguing on the semantics of communism, willfully ignoring the fact that FaceDeer’s issue is about LemmyGrad and not communism, and repeating “you’ve chosen to engage with me” while this is very obviously the other way around.
Facedeer started the conversation, while loudly proclaiming that he doesn’t want to. What’s wrong with pointing out that he’s the one engaging?
Homie admits that he doesn’t know anything about communism, but says his issue is with how Lemmygrad is not communist. Their issue is with ML communism.
Nope. I don’t care whether they’re communist or not, they’re apologists for authoritarians. The communism thing is just an excuse they dress that up in.
