Okay, so for some context .ml is run by the Lemmy devs and the devs are openly tankies (authoritarian communists). .ml, along with Lemmygrad (also run by the devs) and Hexbear are known as the Tankie Triad. While not as bad as the other two, .ml still has a lot of tankies compared to instances that aren't part of the triad. Additionally, .ml used to be the recommended instance (until .world came along), making it one of the more populated instances. Most other instances defederate with Lemmygrad and Hexbear, but not necessarily .ml.

Basically, there's a lot of extremely opinionated and often combative people there and provoking them (intentionally or not) is very easy.

That's my understanding of the situation anyway.

All three are very reasonable and fun if you go in actually willing to chat.

Lmao, the ModLog begs to differ.

A thread today had every comment criticizing Republicans deleted. Why the fuck would you visit a place plagued with such censorship!?

Can you link the thread/evidence? Given the right context that'd be pretty damning.

I understand the mods disagreements here but I can't agree with just straight up deleting these comments. Censorship has its place, but this isn't it imo.

That's just par for the course for the lemmy.ml admins, here I did a small write up with additional evidence in response to another user on the dedicated thread for these screenshots I made on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

I don't know what I expected but it wasn't this. I had no idea.

!meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works might be helpful to better understand the situation
