Why are we shitting on .ml instances? Sure there's a few idiots who use them but they're the vocal minority.

I'm out of the loop, what's going on?

I see the liberals who got upset at bluesky being a "tankie echo chamber" are right at home on lemmy.world where they year for nothing but a Reddit 2.0 where 90% of the content is fed through a handful of professional content astroturfers or bot accounts linked to three-letter agencies.

I like the idea of growing non-ml community, however, I wish larger instances do not block ML. Otherwise, they would just move to lemmy.ee or lemmy.one, just like how they moved from hexbear and grad to ml.

It is great tankies got their own place where they can be happy, but I really don't want to interact with them. I am emotional about issues they engage in, and emotional me is usually not the nicest version of myself.

Social media is one of the few ways I can relax for couple hours per week outside of my job, and I really don't want my social media experience to go full investigative journalism.

ml makes sense on the fediverse. That's kind of the whole point. Same with Linux.

Is this why people keep making posts saying "Lemmy doesn't have enough content"? Are those people blocking instances and acting pikachu?

Yeah do this,
So after we can finally talk about mods on LW, being pro Israel and moderating comments against IDF.

Oh ? That will not happen ? 😱

yes, please continue this trend isolating yourselves from the fediverse

lemmy.world is the most toxic instance and every insanely bloodthirsty, racist, misogynistic, or otherwise vile take seems to come from your lot

On the upside, every time a .world community has these anti-federation wreckers cry and scream because they got banned for some repugnant views (but by design of federation they can just join a new site) I just block the whole community.

Might not be defederation but you're only turning these Comms into lame Reddit discourse farms that does the opposite of your evil plan.

I only follow some .ml communities for the only thing that instance is good for: Memes making fun of neoliberals
