    “You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”

    .ml is basically Lemmy’s /r/conservative as far as being annoying, misinformed, knuckle-dragging fools. My only censorship experiences on Lemmy in over a year have been from loser .ml admins.

    Avoid at all costs.

      i have to apologise to our commie lemming chums for calling them commies

      they are truly russian shill hybrid-war foot-soldiers for the poisonous putin regime

      they have turned lemmy into a weapon of war for putin and found their sense of purpose in whatever fantasy moral system they have invented for themselves

      i guess it’s a tough life being a commie in this day and age after so much failure. strong psychopathic men in failed states must appeal to them

    Only thing I worry about is that lemmy.ml is often the default server recommended for newbs. Plus the main devs are there.

    Join the lemmy.ml boycott

    Why not go all the way and boycott HIS platform, move the instances from lemmy to kbin or piefed, request app devs to stop supporting lemmy and only allow other fediverse platforms.

    Any major instance should’ve defederated from this shithole a long time ago, together with hexbear and blahaj. Those instances are more of a toxic cesspool than the average league of legends lobby.

        If you’re trying to imply that I’m hating trans people, nah - I generally support individuals doing what they want as long as they won’t harm someone. I just think the people on there are amongst the most aggressive and awful people I’ve met on lemmy/piefed so far that will try to ruin your life over minor disagreements, which is why I’m mostly ignoring the people from that instance.

            Comparing people living in a war scenario to trans people might be the most unhinged thing I’ve heard today tbh.

          Its fine its just not how I want an instance I’m on to be moderated. Little too trigger happy on bans. I understand why its just not how I enjoy the threadiverse. Not anywhere near the same issues that come from the propaganda instances though.

        They absolutely are imo. I think I had way more unpleasant experiences with those freaks than I had with hexbear and .ml combined.

        There is an austrian pastry called “Punschkrapfen”. That is a great analogy for blahaj. Pink on the outside, brown on the inside.

      blahaj isnt really the same as a tankie. they just want to protect trans people from transphobic people. tankies are extreme political beliefs, as is conservatism.

      Well the PF instances don’t really have an excuse, though iirc the flagship PF does defed (or maybe it was a default block?) from the entire Triad

      But it has come up that some major instances have a big concern in that if they defed from .ml dessalines will pull back support from them in retaliation

      Which is always a fantastic healthy green flag of a relationship/s

          I don’t really consider infosec.pub to be a “major” instance, it’s only at ~300 MAUs iirc, by “major” I’m thinking .world or SJW or blahaj

          In any case, I’m almost positive I’ve seen it mentioned publicly in one of those big threads, maybe the donation ones a few months back. It was also told to me point blank by an admin of one of said major instances in a DM, but I am unsure how or even if I can release that considering it was told to me in private

              What truly matters is that major instances have this fear to begin with, not whether or not it will happen.

              So there are a few possible reasons I can see with this

              1. The fear is truly unfounded
              2. The fear is founded, but .cafe being so small, he doesn’t care to lend a hand and can use it for examples should this fear conversation become more serious. Dessalines is a lot of things, but he’s not dumb
              3. The fear is founded, but because it’s an issue that could potentially affect any instance large or small they decided to deal with it. Vs say if .world decided to defederate and then ran into an issue that mostly just affected them because of their size, maybe they’ll “give the run around” instead or ignore the issue until it affects an instance they care about

            If such comment was made it would have probably created a lot of dedicated posts

            If an admin of any instance got threatened that way they should probably release the evidence as this would probably encourage people to move to Piefed.

              Sorry if I phrased it weirdly, I didn’t mean to imply that threats had been made (which I mean, dessalines is smarter than that, because like you said it would blow the Lemmy-verse up if he actually made a threat), but rather it’s a fear that’s out there.

              But like I said, I have confirmation of that fear in a DM from a major instance admin. Whether or not that fear is founded and justified or not, is up for debate. But it exists and it’s a factor in the decision making process

          I think by “pulling support” he means that they will no longer support the instance if there are bugs or problems occurring. If you’re technically savvy enough, you can probably get by without their support.

            The Threadiverse Admin group has all the admins of the biggest instances , that’s probably more than enough to troubleshoot any issue

            Also if you’re experiencing a but in the software itself, there are high chances that it’s there for everyone, so Lemmy devs will probably want to know about it
