I know, lemmy.ml is kind of cheating. I just thought this was a little interesting.
Also, almost all of the upvotes for my comment came from lemmy.ml. I think as time goes on, the narrative is getting punctured despite these guys’ best efforts.
Hm… I do get what you’re saying, but as far as I can tell the pressure works the opposite of the way you’re saying. Like if they did succeed in pressuring someone else to ban me, that would just wind up hurting the reputation of the instance that did the ban.
Instances like Hexbear and lemmy.ml that try to enforce a pro-Russia viewpoint wind up as the pariahs that they deserve to be. lemmy.blahaj.zone is a little more complicated, since the crackdown they are trying to pressure people into adopting is actually a legitimately anti-bigotry crackdown, but even with them it seems like it is more common for it to be “yeah blahaj cut itself off from the raft idk” as opposed to “oh no we better ban anyone who says they like Dave Chappelle or else blahaj will cut us off from the raft.” I think in general Lemmy seems to be pretty anti censorship as a general rule, which is as it should be IMO.
