Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

Yeah, there are plenty people who ended up there early when they're weren't many other options. Or just didn't know. Though it's your loss as well. Cut off from several instances for the behavior of others. It definitely sucks.

    Sure, but seeing posts like this encouraging discounting other people based on the instance they signed up on doesn't make me want to switch instances so I can spend more time with them. Posts like these make it harder to care about what I'm missing tbh.

    This:

    Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

    I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

    Megathread on the issue

    Some highlights from the link:

    "Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

    "See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

    .ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

    "NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

    General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

    "If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

    And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

    I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

    On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

    Seems pretty reasonable really.

    That said, about this:

    or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

    I'm not sure fair or unbiased really have meaning as terms. I think its more that they seem strong handed and are alleged to have opinions based on propaganda rather than fact.

    I definitely think the main developer publicly having those opinions is awful though. Projects have had drops in support for less.

    To be clear, it's the fact that they run what many on the outside perceive to be "the flagship" instance. Had they run an instance in the same manner, but with their admin profiles and identities disconnected from their dev accounts...we wouldn't be here right now.

    Then it would be easy to dismiss the Triad when advocating the Threadiverse to mainstream users as just "random instances that many others block", just like hex and grad

    there's a user (cm0002) who is so fervently anti-communist that they've spent years at this point having a vendetta with lemmy.ml/grad/hexbear.

    for the longest time they were taking anything posted to a .ml community vias rss feed and reposting it on .world/or other instances out of spite

    they also churn through accounts, so people who block them get to re-block them on every new account they spin up

    who is so fervently anti-communist

    Nope, Anti authoritarian as per the Wikipedia definition for Tankie:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

    Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

    for the longest time they were taking anything posted to a .ml community vias rss feed and reposting it on .world/or other instances out of spite

    Still ongoing, with reasoning supplied here:

    I had my unrelated reasons, as I've specified before, though trolling .ml for a lil while was a fun side effect I'll admit

    Is it "spam" for 99% of my posts and comments to be in my home instance, and for the overwhelming majority of my interactions be via comments instead of posts?

    Bro must either be an egomaniac that has a bot combing lemmy to find instances of his name being mentioned or terminally online.

    I mean it's probably the same reason I responded, I sort by new comments/chat

    you could simply block me if you're tired of my insights 😇

    I'm not constantly spinning up new accounts like cm so it would probably be the last you see of me
