"Caller ID says the call is from 1-800-SCAM-YOU. Sounds legit." Answers
Having worked as a relay operator when I was younger and seeing these scams happen in real time while being powerless to do anything but facilitate the call, the truth is often way, way sadder. It's often not stupidity, but desperation that causes them to fall for extremely obvious bullshit.
There was just a post about how .ml was a platform for the defederated shitholes to leak their propaganda, and SO many people denied that was the case….
Since you’re originally from
.ml, and you are the sysadmin of this instance- and it is your stance, that you seriously don’t know what’s wrong with someone saying “death to [ANY country],”
I’m going to go ahead and block you and your instance. You’re hopeless.

It's like how scammers will use obvious tells to weed out harder marks, meaning anyone that responds to them will be easy pickings.

And if you do say anything smart, most people won't get it

And then they'll dislike you for making them feel dumb for not getting the smart thing you said

It’s absolutely what it’s used for

Am I missing something? I haven't heard anyone say anything like that about .ml. I just remember it being one of the more popular instances.

This link doesn't work for me

In my experience, it's kind of like hexbear-lite now, in terms of talking shit without knowing what they're even talking about.
HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
That’s because hexbears have ml accounts to further spew their hate and aggression

Can’t recall what community it was posted in, but yeah- they’re pretty well known to be a tankie/troll instance. Very biased mods/admin…

I’m entirely convinced that you’re a troll. So I’m blocking your nonsense. I’m sure you’re used to it. So there shouldn’t be a problem.

Typical .ml trash
Now switch back to your hexbear account
Mastengwe@lemm.ee · 9 pts · 2y
Yup. It’s a shame that blocking that cesspit doesn’t block the losers that live in it.

Some people are reporting this comment. For the record, there is nothing bad written here and I say that as someone living in the US.
JimSamtanko@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y
So, as a mod here… you’re suggesting that someone saying “death to america” is entirely okay?
seahorse@midwest.social · -1 pts · 2y
Why is it not?
