I was browsing the fediverse explorer and did not find lemmy.ml in the instances list.

There is some drama, but at the same time some only exist there (see this post: https://lemmy.world/post/16235541)
For instance
So I wouldn't say it's such a good idea to not show them at all.
That’s okay, they can move.
They can, but hiding those useful communities from people who are probably just trying to troubleshoot their systems doesn't seem helpful
The communities above are not managed by a project organisation (the only one I know if [email protected]), it's just that until last week, lemmy.ml was considered the go-to instance for FOSS and Linux.
Network effect is here, I know it first hand as I've been busy posting to [email protected] to try to offer people an alternative to the lemmy.ml community.
But I'm not planning to do that with the communities above, and same for the other FOSS communities, because I have other stuff to do
The vast majority of people going to those communities just want a place with enough people to answer their questions on the topic. They are not going to organize a migration, most of them are probably not even aware of the issues with lemmy.ml administration (seems like the post got removed from lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/comment/11606059)
I see where you come from, and I get it to an extend, but the vast majority of people are probably going to keep going to those communities without any change.
If someone wants to organize a migration of those above communities (the thread I linked above can be a starting point), feel free, but I wouldn't count on it. And without an active migration, those communities will stay the reference for those topics.
On an interesting note, [email protected] move to [email protected] recently.
I edited my comment. Looks like they banned the user, this is why the post is missing. And it's kinda unfortunate :(
Didn't know! Were there any responses from the
.mladmins?~~I also noticed that this post is not available on
lemmy.ml, apparently they banned the post.~~ Looks like they banned the OP from the instance.It looks like admins from
.mlban people who write bad things about CCP and.worldadmins ban people who can write bad things about US imperialism. They both think that they fight trolls and usually it's the case.For example, the banned OP wrote something like "Why, to ban criticism about China more actively?" in https://feddit.nl/comment/10140068 (6 days ago, while the post was created 9 month ago!) which is definitely not okay behavior.
I criticize US imperialism all the time. Not even a warning let alone a ban. So I don't think that's the case.
You are right, I said it wrong.
They mostly ban for being a tankie.
Presumably being the key word here. It's not clear based on this comment. It might have been a Lemmyverse decision to remove all of the .ml communities because they disagreed with the instance admins political stances.
Look at this comment: https://feddit.nl/comment/10290637
It's affecting every 0.19.4 instance, not only lemmy.ml
Lemmy.ml deployed 0.19.4 around 13 days ago (local communities were made available in that release): https://lemmy.ml/post/16252832
Where, and how? Seems tedious to write a satisfying message with "don't go there for politics, but it's probably the best place for FOSS content" that wouldn't confuse new joiners
I don't, which is why I linked to th e Github issues and suggested that someone opened an issue. Nobody did so far, but the 0.19.4 issue impacted another https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances/issues/46
Those communities should be urged to move away from lemmy.ml.
Feel free to organize the migration
~~I am one of the victims of the censorship you say doesn't happen, so I am banned on lemmy.ml for making a comment about the Tiananmen Square massacre.~~
replied to the wrong comment
Where did I say that censorship does not happen?
I've been busy posting to [email protected] for the last week following your post.
You don't need to have an account on lemmy.ml to organize the migration (I did not post there). Organizing the migration means
You didn't, I got your comment mixed up with what someone else said on another comment chain, and I apologize.
No worries! I was also a bit harsh, I edited my comment.
