Cuz .ml defederated ani.social.
The rest of us have all left this anime-hostile instance.
You are saying that .ml is hostile to anime?
Yes. [email protected] was abandoned about half a year ago because .ml purged a bunch of anime communities, and defederated the main anime instance on the threadiverse.
Why did you think they had to go looking for a new mod on the main community?
You can't see it from an .ml account, but compared to ani.social, anime-related communities are essentially dead on .ml.
If you're an anime fan, having an account on .ml cuts you off from most of the relevant activity on the threadiverse.
Well, if the admins did that, they must have had a good reason.
The initial reason given was CSAM, which was bogus. They then backtracked on that because there wasn't anything to actually point fingers at.
Still they didn't actually re-federate, the reason given was essentially "too much anime art".
This leaves .ml in a state of limbo where being an anime fan with an account on here, leaves you cut off from 90% of other users engaging with the fandom. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected].
