Real. I joined it cuz it said it was FOSS focused and run by the creators of Lemmy which I thought was neat. Did not realize it was a tankie cesspool. I’m now banned from a good portion of it for “Nazi apologia” because I said calling Ukraine Nazis was Russian propaganda

    Just jump instances. I might have my reservations about how the aversion to monetization means a lot instances are unstable or slow with no real incentives or even funding to improve it but there's certainly something to be said for decentralization.

    I'm glad the instance I chose based on URL ended up being pretty good because sh.itjust.works.

    Some people reckon we’re a Nazi instance… shrug emoji.

    I’m not sure why - but have read it a few times. If someone in the know could clue me in if there is actually some back lore to the claim I’d appreciate that.

    We're not that bad but I kinda see the argument - meanwhile on grad is based here and while I'm not opposed to dunking on them, to spend the time to collate an entire community dunking on Lemmygrad is a bit much IMO.

    And we've got that transphobic instance admin whose take is so toxic and backlash so nonexistent I'm considering switching instances. (Someone made a bit of a confused request to Lemmy dev Nutomic about adding support for a browser extension that marks transphobic users on social media, Nutomic's response included a non-sequitor about trans women in sports (why bring that up except as a statement of transphobia?), and months after the fact our admin stated support for the dev's transphobic statement)

    I have a confession:

    When I joined, I thought ML was for Machine Learning.

    You are the first seemingly sane person from .ml I’ve seen
