.world needs .ml else it would just become Reddit 2.0, just as boring and asinine, but without the traffic. .world is the kiddie pool... but not everyone knows how to swim, so it fills an important role!

After lemm.ee went down I joined ml because it was the largest instance π
I didn't know the backstory
I definitely didn't know how heated people were towards .ml when I joined. istg I'm not a tankie.

Lol it's ok, they do things purposefully like that to an extent to get that result. Like if you go to Lemmygrad or Hex's homepage its quite clear you're somewhere weird that needs further investigation.
You go-to lemmy.mls homepage and it looks like a normal "privacy focused" instance. Until you innocently comment in support of Ukraine or something and find yourself being dunked on and banned for supporting a "Nazi regime"

No. I donβt think a group of bad actors should kill an instance. We all have so many tools to ignore people or entire instances.
.ml is the "bad actor" in this case for one, and for two, one of those tools is defederation. Nobody is talking about forcing .ml wholly offline.
Grad and hex are perfectly alive even with most of the network defederating from them.

Honestly .ml and .world deserve each other. Sh.it.just.works too, most common in my blocked user list.
came here to make the exact same 1st statement. .world is quite a bully friendly instance.
Just look at my modlogs from them. Feds through and through.
I know nothing irt sh.itjust.works
What did we do?
We exist.
Nah, probably because some people find the url funny and annoy people with that account.
Yeah, Hexbear and Lemmygrad are instant blocks. For .ml, you either joined on the wrong instance or are too deep into communist dreams
Nobody told me all this when I signed up. I was simply instructed to pick an instance, and I did.
This is one of the downsides to Lemmy, you're expected to understand what the hell an instance is before you even use the platform.
Well, luckily, you can make an account elsewhere and not have people assume you're an asshole because you associate (unknowingly) with assholes
This is, why Lemmy will probably never be successful. People are told to choose any instance and they choose the biggest ones, because that's also probably the one with the most content and activity. And after that other people will tell them they made a bad choice and it's their own fault.
Thankfully we can advise people to join piefed now

A lot of the people giving ML a bad reputation came over from Hexbear after they were defederated by almost everyone, I suspect the angry commies would just create a new account on another instance.
And? Better to let them have to engage as a normie instead of having an entire instance astroturfing their BS.
I'd rather they stay on ML, that way I can block the instance and never hear from them.
