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

Regardless of the criticism specifics, a visible mod/admin is a bad mod/admin. True leadership follows; the steering, imperceptible. The job is that of a janitor. People can appreciate a janitor. When a janitor tries to play president, hate follows.

I haven't seen the specifics in this instance. I saw someone posting partial private messages in screen shots months ago without full context and making drama. I have not seen inexcusable behavior from .ml or a reason I feel motivated to stop posting there.

As a lemmy.ml account holder... I'm a bit out of the loop. I'm not tied to any single instance and can move to a new one (any recommendations?), but what does ml do that's bad? Honest question, promise, I don't follow this stuff very much

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

There something about .world's culture that supports uncritically circlejerking about how bad is.

Mention hexbear and you'll get half a dozen .world comments accusing them of anything from being secret republicans to antisemites to russian trolls or chinese bots, and how awful they were when they brigaded every thread on .world.

Note that .world has never been federated with them.

I like being able to block instances, without my instance doing it for me, lemm.ee is pretty good about that, like yeah, I blocked lemmygrad and hexbears but still have the option to see their stuff without switching accounts
