Filters out conservatives pretty well and stops bots because it requires the user to read.

Interesting. Must be newish because that wasn't a requirement when I signed up a few years back.
The .ml admins (and devs of Lemmy the software) are from that crowd, basically. If you don't like it, try another instance.
Edit: .ml is for Marxist-Leninist, even. There's no connection to Mali.

this is a literal lie, its because the servers are held in mali not because of 'marxist leninist'
Mali is a Saharan country with low population, spotty, super expensive internet and unreliable power; I'd be surprised if the machines are literally there. And anyway, Dessalines has never mentioned being from a Malian background, but he does identify as ML.
Welcome. Admins and mods of every instance, not just ml are very trigger happy to enforce their opinion. Going as far as fully disabling users accounts. Not by using an automatic word filter though.
Each instance has different political opinions you need to agree with. This one likes communism. Upside is no email verification required, so it is very private.
Lemmy is much more wild west than moden Reddit. Similar to old Reddit. Enjoy the ride.
As the internet should be.
This is only a few paragraphs in; on a larger screen you don't even have to scroll.
This industrial revolution was precipitated by the discovery of the steam engine, various spinning machines, the mechanical loom, and a whole series of other mechanical devices.
What is so objectionable about that, or so hard about copying it?
Being required to read something for less than 60 seconds isn't a violation of your rights- in fact, this is less than 1% of the time a EULA or ToS takes. It also takes less time and bandwidth than many of the AI-training Captchas nowadays.
If you have a problem with reading 30 seconds of something you have a feeling you might disagree with, the real problem is you not being willing to peek outside your bubble.
That depends on the instance you are in.
