Lmao it's par for the course for open directories, plenty of them in the past I've accessed with just bare IP addresses XD

I don't cross post from any other instances except .ml

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 help vitilize non-.ml comms and 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 active niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

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

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

"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

"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

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.

Tbf, that's dirt cheap and getting used to "free" products like Google Maps with live traffic is kinda how we got in this mess on the first place LMAO

I don't think having a paywall in of itself is bad, so long as it's a good affordable and reasonable price and isnt going to some giant corpo

[-] cm0002@literature.cafe 2 points 3 months ago

My reasoning is as follows: Promoting smaller instances, because of the volume of posting it makes smaller instances more recognizable, making comms on fitting smaller instances, protecting against the imposter problem and better interconnecting smaller instances

Besides, if I really wanted to do block evasion, it would be far more efficient to use random names. Each account would last far longer before becoming "recognized"

Also, unlike corpo social media, likes and upvotes are worthless here.

I usually go some hours between posts of similar articles, to try to break them up. They might stack if you're viewing a comm directly if it isn't that busy of one, but they shouldn't on your main feeds

This is the only voice I hear "What's up with that?" In 😂
