I for one have stopped posting any content to lemmy.ml communities.

Here's a list of a few .ml communities and potential replacements:

Side note the main issue with .ml is transparency. It's fine if the admins of an instance implement whatever rules they want in their instance; however, once they start enforcing hidden rules disguised as violations of the listed rules, they're being liars and treating the users as stupid things to be herded, not as human beings.

EDIT: as people noticed I'm not including .world comms to not encourage even further concentration of activity into the largest instance. Decentralisation is important. Also I'm adding stuff that you guys suggest.

* for specialised memes, as the category is rather large:

I see a lot more of that on .world communities, specifically the news and political memes communities will remove comments for "misinformation" even if you're citing academic works.

If the .world admins are doing it too, it's also bad. Thankfully I didn't list a single .world community, although for another reason.

I had the audacity to say that the deaths of Tiannanmen's Square were inexcusable, no matter who started the violence, and my comment was removed under instance rule 1 (bigotry).. like wat 😂

Ah, typical lemmy.ml . They have a hard time understanding that you can support a certain ideology without necessarily turning a blind eye to everything that people claim to be doing for the sake of said ideology, or that any criticism against their actions is automatically false.

I remember you, by the way. You were already an old Lemmy user when I joined in, 3y ago!

I dared to say that the illegal, violent invasion of the foreign nation of Ukraine was bad. Turns out NATO made them do that, as well as rape and torture all those people and steal the children. Who knew... 🤷‍♂️

The irony of so-called Marxist-Leninists refusing to be self-critical...

!asklemmy@lemmy.world has over 70 times as many subscribers as the other two asklemmy communities combined.

I'm avoiding linking lemmy.world instances. We shouldn't put even more eggs in that basket, you know.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

But maybe we shouldn't throw out the few eggs Lemmy does have.

[-] lvxferre@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Nobody is throwing eggs out. I'm recommending one basket instead of another, that's it.

Hello! That's a very lovely formatted table with links, however, clicking on them does nothing for me whilst clicking on links otherwise in the replies does take me to the respective communities. I don't know if it's just me though.

[-] lvxferre@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's weird - are you accessing lemmy through a browser, or some app?

Check if it works here: !funny@sh.itjust.works

If it does then it's the table interacting weirdly with the links, I can fix it by removing the table.

The .ml transparency thing is a symptom, not a root cause. The admins like and even participate in the .ml rhetoric. The rules ambiguity is intentional.

and for more specialized memes:

world news: I realize you're avoiding lemmy.world to promote decentralization which is why you're listing !news@beehaw.org, but note that beehaw defederated itself from lemmy.world and from several others?

Their sidebar has a longish explanation of where they're coming from.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'll check it out, thanks.

Edit: sounds good to me. Especially that last bit.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 year ago

An odd choice on their part is dessalines upvoting every comment that corresponds to a removal or ban. Feels almost as though they’ve Jerry-rigged their moderation code to an extreme degree in order to keep up with the day job levels of moderation they’re doing.
