Thanks for confirming that you do indeed think of any instance not toeing the Triads preferred narratives as "Nazi Instances"

This user is a long since tagged Tankie that just referred to .world/SJW as "The Nazi Instance" for calling attention to a clear misinfo "source" being put out as "news"

FYI, posting these on .ml will likely lead to you being instance banned and then you'll be able to proudly display this achievement unlocked!

The employees just gotta get that sense of pride and accomplishment

It just ChatGPT all the way down sad lol

Thanks a billion!

That looks like SketchFighter 4000 maps lol, a fun little game IMO

Very nice!

Well that's unusual, usually they argue that the South Korean government are "occupiers" LMAO

Rule of Acquisition #148

SpongeBob, shitposts and still not getting around to my steam/gog library

Looks like a perfect photograph capturing what it is to be a void to me

Oh man, check it out with all the instances on if you want a little smile, .ml comms have fallen hard lol. Memes used to hover around rank 13, now it's like 30 lmao

I won't say how long I had to stare at this to figure out what was different LOL 😅

Subscriber count is essentially a worthless metric on Lemmy, it's overinflated because of dead accounts. The older an instance and it's comms, the worse it is. .ml being the original most of it comms are old and way overinflated by dead accounts.

For example !linux@lemmy.ml has something like 55k subscribers, but the entire Threadiverse only has ~50k monthly active accounts.

MAUs is a much better metric to go by, and by that standard there are only 2 main comms that haven't been dethroned by a non-.ml alternative yet !linux@lemmy.ml and !privacy@lemmy.ml

But !linux@programming.dev is getting there!

@goat@sh.itjust.works do you think this thread would make a good candidate for a sticky?

I'm updating this fairly frequently as my megathread now LMAO

Hell yea! Best way forward is to keep talking about it, keep the pressure up and refer to !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works or my periodically updated recap post https://lemmy.world/post/29072279

If we can get our instance to defed at least, it being the biggest, will be a huge boon to the overall health of the Threadiverse

Officially Rule 1 is no bigotry and rule 2 is be respectful

Unofficially, they're their catchall rules for speech they don't like eg things that go against Tankie narratives; NATO bad, Ukraine is full of Nazis and Russia is justified, NK isn't a dictatorship and China is a utopia

Because it has utility for a wider audience, I do skip hyper specific questions.

As for the why:

Why am I cross-posting .ml?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 ::: spoiler CW: Original transphobic Comment from Nutomic

:::

"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

An hour late :( lmao
