MODERATORS
Because lemmy is much smaller, you tend to rub into the same users more often. So if someone comes off as abrasive, blocking them can have a notable impact on your experience.
Dogpiling is worse, and it can pay to know what instance the community you're posting in is, as the games community on hexbear is going to be different than on world.
It's much more "left" than reddit. Notably, while this instance, lemmy.ml, is the flagship instance run by the lead dev, the "ml" stands for marxist-leninist.
does ml actually stand for marxist-leninist? i remember using domains with .ml tld a long time ago with freenom's $0 domains lol.
it's actually the top level domain for Mali
Freenom isn't operating anymore and all free .ml domains are deactivated. I always wondered if the where able to keep the lemmy.ml domain because it was premium
I absolutely naively originally signed up there (under a different nym) thinking it was Machine Learning related. What I get for not doing any research.
Meh. Didn't take long to get banned for my radical opinion that all forms of Us-vs-Them tribalism are dehumanizing. (Even when we think the Other Guys are really really All Bad.)
