Real. I joined it cuz it said it was FOSS focused and run by the creators of Lemmy which I thought was neat. Did not realize it was a tankie cesspool. I’m now banned from a good portion of it for “Nazi apologia” because I said calling Ukraine Nazis was Russian propaganda
Just jump instances. I might have my reservations about how the aversion to monetization means a lot instances are unstable or slow with no real incentives or even funding to improve it but there’s certainly something to be said for decentralization.
Some people reckon we’re a Nazi instance… shrug emoji.
I’m not sure why - but have read it a few times. If someone in the know could clue me in if there is actually some back lore to the claim I’d appreciate that.
You may be new enough not to have encountered this yet but our instance has a well earned reputation of being Soviet boot lickers. Be careful on .ml meme subs and stuff, you’ll catch a permaban for saying anything pro Ukraine or in any way interpretable as anti Russia
Do we? You might be overestimating your impact as a person, or I maybe I only pay attention to the usernames of people who make a big positive difference on my flavor of the fediverse!
All the same, brand new accounts are fishy as fuck, especially with 0 posts. Try creating, not just critiquing!
.ML users left in shambles.
You know, if they could still access lemmy in general.

Why would anyone say that?
“When you sit with eleven Nazis, there are a dozen Nazis”

I’m glad the instance I chose based on URL ended up being pretty good because sh.itjust.works.
I choose lemmy.world because it was top of the list and I had no idea of anything when I came over from Reddit back then

I wouldn’t think too much into this claim unless there is evidence
Just wondered why anybody would think such a thing…

First I’ve heard of it.
I’ve just read it in passing more than once… but some people like to throw buzz words around and generalise so that could be the case here.
Y’all have the best space industry community.
It’s just Ukraine, no “the” in front.
It has THE because it’s a geographic area of historic Russia, translating to “THE borderland”.
I’m older than “Ukraine”.
Policing other people’s language is very on point for Ukrainian nationalists. Banderites.
I ain’t ever had no Chicken Kyiv, but I bet it tastes like shit.
You can use your normal .ml account, you don’t need to hide being a tankie.
Russia is an authoritarian imperialist state.
Right thanks for the reminder
Sounds like something the Russia might say… 🧐
I have a confession:
When I joined, I thought ML was for Machine Learning.
I thought ML is just two letters from Lemmy and it sounds nice
Same actually
I initially thought .ml was literally the TLD for the nation of Mali - so was super confused.
I mean, it is. But it’s one of the TLDs that allows wider use.
Only a few national TLDs require being related to the country, or at least being located in the country.
You’re welcome to join the toast gang. We don’t have much, but we have an awesome logo and a cool name.
You are the first seemingly sane person from .ml I’ve seen
When I first joined Lemmy 3.5 years ago I almost joined .ml because it was the dev’s instance. I’m glad I chose .ee instead.
Thanks… unfortunately I’m well aware that’s a low bar lmao
Who? Traffic seems fine to me.

Oh…they know exactly what .ml is
Jesus do you have a goldfish brain? We interact all the time lol.
I got locked out of my OG account.
