Probably the easiest boycott you could do, let's do it Lemmy! (lemmy.world)

The .ml transparency thing is a symptom, not a root cause. The admins like and even participate in the .ml rhetoric. The rules ambiguity is intentional.

We could argue that the root cause is that .ml admins pretending that their instance's target audience is wider than it actually is.

Their target audience is Westerner suckers gullible enough to have their opinions manipulated

Do they though?

I was rejected when I first tried to sign up (when I was entirely new to lemmy) and they're turning at least one user away now

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Ah, they do it now? When I signed up there (~3y ago) there was no such thing.

Anyway, it's still a problem because most users interacting with .ml content are from other instances.

3 years ago were there any other instances with traction? Agreed on your second point.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 3 points 8 months ago

Nah, there were just LG and .ml, as OpenStars said. Technically HB too but they didn't federate due to technical limitations.

Lemmygrad.ml is 5 years old, and hexbear.net is 4 years old.

Yep. I was not accepted several times. Now I am

It’s a great advertisement for communism that’s for sure. They haven’t even gotten real power and it already resembles the worst of what communism offers. They’re a bunch of wannabe Ceausescu’s.
