Me as an instance admin sitting here reading about how Lemmy doesn't have trolls and Russian bots, while I'm in a chat with other instance admins and mods where we need to actively coordinate to fight the trolls and Russian bots 😐

    Yeah... OP is blind to the massive Kremlin and CCP propaganda problem here in the Fediverse.

    After hexbear got defederated from most of the major instances, the fucking losers just make alts on different instances so they can continue defending that propaganda filled shithole. Now .ml seems like the new worst, no matter what you do these no-life losers will find a way to spread their bullshit.

    Takes much more effort to try and stop them than it does for these losers to make alts unfortunately.

    I was under the impression that the .ml admins actually promote them because it's run by people from Hexbear.

    Ml is run by the creators of Lemmy, and hexbear is well... Not. Hexbear made their own fork of lemmy a long time ago and only in the past year or so have they been actually able to federate at all. I don't see the creators of Lemmy going through all that effort to hide their identities if they were actually running hexbear behind the scenes

    Hexbear wasn't federated to begin with for many instances, and Lemmy.ml hasn't really changed as a result of Hexbear getting defederated by servers like Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ca, because Hexbear has a more secluded user-base. Hexbear intentionally tries to be careful with who they federate with.

    Welcome to IT. If everything is on fire, they ask why you’re even here, and if everything is ready for the fire and there’s nothing left to do, they also ask why you’re even here

    I'm yet to see any in the last year personally, so I guess it's working?

    That's honestly pretty amazing that you've been here a year and haven't seen a troll! Though you're on an instance with a very active and determined admin, there is definitely a difference in how much you see between instances because of how removals work.

    You guys are pretty proactive about blocking and defederating bad faith instances, or even ones not doing enough to deal with bad actors. You were one of the first to defederate Hexbear, and I think you even defederated world at one point?
