You'll probably be happier at !world@lemmy.world instead.

I generally avoid communities on lemmy.ml where there are options elsewhere.

Yeah, I just blocked the .ml worldnews community. It isn't worth the effort trying to discuss politics with them. The .world instance has been fine for me so far.

.ml is run by tankies. There's no freedom of ideas or speech on that server.

That makes sense there. A lot of marxist leninist crazies there.
