.ml sucks
amen
Wait what did they do? I'm new
the mods who run it (and also created the lemmy software which makes this whole thing more complex) love stalin and mao (theres a reason why its Lemmy.ml and not .com, the ml stands for marxist-leninist) and putin and often silence opinions they disagree with on their platform. They use their instance to spread their propaganda about authoritarism and communism and while their aren't the only instance to do that, the other ones weren't run by the Lemmy devs, so other instances defederated from them - I'm talking about places like hexbear and lemmygrad
theres people who've been on Lemmy longer than me and have spent time documenting some of the more insane mod actions and views of the .ml admins and Im gunna go find that right now
edit: ok I found it, here's a list of stuff the admins there have done: https://lemmy.world/post/29072279 and here's the community about documenting stuff I got the post from https://lemmy.world/c/meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
posting these as .world links because .ml has blocked them (which of course they did) so I don't then you can sub to that comm from your account
Thanks for the links
no problem!
They were to the left of netanyahu. centrists don't like that.
.ml is the third instance that centrists have a problem with. When their constant whining gets them what they want and .world defederates from .ml, they'll pick another instance and start whining about that.
I'm sure the moment they defed from .ml after years of complaining about .ml after not doing the thing that would make them happy, dbzer0 will be the next on their chopping block of "Tankie Triad" or whatever the liberal echo chamber says.
conservatives don't like being reminded that people to their left exist.
until they lose an election and need someone other than themselves to blame.
They're all part of a conspiracy community where they think every nation or group the West doesn't like is good and, less plausibly, working together. They take issue with anything that goes against that narrative.
Honestly it seems goofy but harmless to me. But, many people take personal offence. And they did make Lemmy.
I think it would be mostly harmless if they didnt they to use their unique position as the 'main' Lemmy instance to spread their crazy ideas beyond the confines of their space
like theres other far left echo chambers in the fediverse, but theyve been mostly defederated from, like hexbear
So what though? "We're the baddies" has the opposite of mass appeal, even in other cases where it's true and makes sense. They can shout at clouds all they want, along with the flat Earthers.
Yup, and check !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works or my periodically updated recap post for why everyone!
