Wut? I can't (and will not ever even if I could) post to .ml, this was crossposted from .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 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 niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
"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
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
"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
"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
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.
Id give it a go
Lose at BINGO because I do not have "Pizzagate conspiracies coming back to bite republicunts in the ass and take em down in the process" on my bingo card
...the world was gonna boof me...
Wow, that's kinda fucked up, you won't even give the dog a fair cut? Where's their steak? Their treat?
I'm sorry, you will just have to lose the arm, there's nothing we can do
Don't tell me what to do you're not my dad!!
Can effective action be taken to clean up the Fediverse?
The best answer for that is wide spread defederation, like how the rest of the triad (hex and Grad) is treated. The admins of .ml are hardcore Tankies and welcome this kind of content (see the megathread here https://lemmy.world/post/29072279 )
Unfortunately, the top admin also happens to be the Lemmy dev, so no major instance as of yet wants to burn that bridge.
