Before I found out, I would have preferred to find out naturally. After I did stumble in and find out, I wished somebody had warned me.

Anti-leftism is an all consuming, load-bearing pillar of fascism. Since .ml is tangentially leftist aligned...

No one "worries" about seeing it. It's that if you engage with anyone from, or anything posted in, a .ml, about any topic at all, you'll eventually be hit with "capitalism causes all problems in the universe" or the rest of their standard "I'm 19 and this is deep" tankie talking points like some mandatory checklist of things they have to cram into every post or they get kicked out of the instance. It's exhausting and pointless. No one runs around elsewhere in Lemmy making it a point to defend capitalism, so it's just of a constant eye-roll when "I'm an independent thinker! Here's the same thing we all say!" happens.

Edit: OOOh, seems like I struck a nerve, eh?

Certain people just like echo chambers and can't see the value of opposing beliefs or arguments, no matter the level of sense that those may or not make.

My conspiracy is that people are trying to ramp up enough of a campaign to defederate from .ml, not knowing it's history on Lemmy and how most .ml users are actually quite chill and actually genuine people once you get to know them. I mean Jesus Christ guys, .ml users arent all bots.
