If you call out literal Russian propaganda (RT/Rumble) on .ml YOU'LL get the bans and comment removal, not the propaganda!

Your account seems new @blueridge@feddit.nu, sorry you had to deal with this but this is what happens on the tankie instance that is .ml
Join the .ml boycott today! No posts, comments or upvotes on any .ml comms!
You're viewing a single thread.
does lemmyMl have more reach beyond their own instance because they are developers? how can we be sure?
I'd say, more tolerated. Because they're the devs, the lemmy.ml instance is considered the flagship instance.
Where new features go live first, a number of official support communities are and because it was the first, the perception that they have some of the biggest comms
The rest of the Tankie Triad (Grad and hex) don't have that so that's why they're pretty much widely defederated from, it's a much easier decision.
I say perception, because the comms there are only the "biggest" by subscriber count. If you look at the statistics by monthly active users, it tells a much different story where only a single .ml comm breaks the top 15 comms Lemmy-verse wide
I meant like capabilities to influence the platform as a whole, like backend stuff, potential censoring past their instance
Ah, it's possible, but unlikely thanks to its open source nature
It has been suspected though that .ml is running a slightly customized version to help hide their censorship, but I have only read of accounts of it happening to others and no direct evidence
If they do something to the source code, I'm sure someone can just fork lemmy and we just use that.
Otherwise everything is hosted on separate instances so no.
We are everywhere haha
