      The thing is…originally (in June 2023) .ml felt like a normal instance, which gradually became hopeless. Now I feel like they are starting to spill into some .world communities. I hope lemmy is not going to be eaten up by tankies as it gets more popular and pushes out non-normie sane people.

        Oh, I really meant on their communities, as in leave the .ml alone. But when they spread their bullshit in communities on other servers, counter it if course.

          Yes, but I felt that when these debates were had in .ml, it was better because it left .world cleaner, but as people give up on .ml, they have more room to keep spilling out (they have nothing to debate with themselves). Maybe people actually gave up because the moderation became openly hostile over time.

      we are at war with russia, we should defederate from instances that support russian, anti-west propoganda, unquestioningly

      they do not even allow open discussion and have not done for a long time

      time for .world to disconnect from the fetid twisted pupa

      There’s pros and cons to it, on the one hand is your point to just leave them to their delusions. And for instances like hex and Grad, I fully agree with you.

      Unfortunately, .ml is in a special place as few instances want to widely defed from them for fear of backlash from the devs and losing support from them (which is a fair point, I can totally see dessalines being that petty)

      So having people counter their propaganda is more for newer users to see that there is push back on their crap and less about getting tankies to change their views

        Not to mention there are still many highly active non-political communities on ML.

        ML admins/mods acting like the goons that they are is a good incentive for such communities to move off ML.

              Y’know, it’s funny how you rant and rave about genocide all the time like you’re against it, yet you’re totally fine with calling for someone’s death because they dared to remove your comments and you also constantly call for Israel to be nuked. Y’know, the sort of thing that’d kill everyone in Israel and Palestine. And make the entire region uninhabitable.

              Most sane, well adjusted individual over here. Totally hasn’t lost the plot and became the very thing they claim they want to destroy.

                Oh, I love it. He’s single-handedly pushing this community bigger and bigger.

                He puts in so much effort, using a VPN, making a new account, finding the same threads to post to, and replying multiple times. And all of that is removed with a click of a button, takes me a literal second. The best part is he’ll make a new account and do it all over again, literal insanity, all while boosting those numbers
