I knew it was a leftist instance. I went into it (naively) excited to engage with a more thoughtful leftist internet space, considering it was a bunch of reddit exiles who were upset about heavy handed Reddit censorship. I was quite disappointed to learn quickly that it was just more of the same tankie brain rot, with more of the same tankie censorship you can find in a thousand different tedious places.

Even then I stuck with it for a bit. And then I learned that the head admin was potentially the most fragile person on the Internet, who literally will not post outside his own instance because he cannot handle any internet where he does not have (what he believes to be) a "win argument" ban button. It is literally so cringe, I cannot stand to be associated with it, and I don't understand how other people tolerate being associated with his antics.

I've got an ml account too, but at the time I think world was normal. I think world has also gone the Reich way.

wait, what does it stand for?

I'm pretty sure I'm banned from .ml.

Badge of honour.

from the modlog it looked like you got a 4 day ban for citing a work of fiction as fact and crashing out in the replies when challenged on it

Honestly these kinds of posts don't bother me. I'm usually on here answering people's tech questions or trying to provide useful resources to people. If they don't see it because they have ml blanket blocked then that's their loss.

.world has its share of awful and part of why I rock piefed, but I chalk a lot of that up to essentially being the default instance.
