Apprarently Niagara Falls, Canada is not blue da-ba-dee, da-ba-di.

It was a bad joke because there’s people that genuinely think these things.

No.

Welcome! :)

world situation allows

Finland is not in Russia or Ukraine. Worry only about the finances part.

a large portion understands Swedish

Absolutely not the case, except for some Swedish speaking regions that are only a tiny part of the country and consist of villages and small towns.

Like 90% of Finns can’t even have simple conversations in Swedish.

which would also be the reason why everyone would naturally hate me.

Why would “everyone” hate you?

Huh?

Think what you want of his views, but he has the patience of a saint, even when people are screaming at him.

An exemplary user in the Fediverse.

They used to market themselves as a leftist instance, but for some reason they’ve made it less clear later on.

I figured the domain was a leftover from the past.

ML has just as much of a right to ban political dissidents from their comms as any other instance. Explicitly leftist instances exist for a reason and you don’t have to interact with them if you don’t agree.

I think the problem is that .ml doesn’t market itself as a leftist instance (anymore), and there’s nothing in the instance rules to imply that non-M-L aren’t allowed.

From what I’ve seen, if there’s even a slightly annoyed tone in the dissenting comment or post, they ban for rule 2, even if there’s another person in the thread screaming at them calling them all kinds of nonsense (but with the “correct” political opinion). Being disrespectful on .ml is fine, if you’re saying the right things.

If the person is incredibly polite, they often ban for rule 1 anyway.

I almost exclusively eat rye bread, just like the rest of this country.

So… The bread in supermarket is high in preservative chemicals

This seems like an America thing.

Not the case here in Finland, for example.

Okay, but why do you keep making new accounts?

Genuinely curious.
