          the mods who run it (and also created the lemmy software which makes this whole thing more complex) love stalin and mao (theres a reason why its Lemmy.ml and not .com, the ml stands for marxist-leninist) and putin and often silence opinions they disagree with on their platform. They use their instance to spread their propaganda about authoritarism and communism and while their aren’t the only instance to do that, the other ones weren’t run by the Lemmy devs, so other instances defederated from them - I’m talking about places like hexbear and lemmygrad

          theres people who’ve been on Lemmy longer than me and have spent time documenting some of the more insane mod actions and views of the .ml admins and Im gunna go find that right now

          edit: ok I found it, here’s a list of stuff the admins there have done: https://lemmy.world/post/29072279 and here’s the community about documenting stuff I got the post from https://lemmy.world/c/meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

          posting these as .world links because .ml has blocked them (which of course they did) so I don’t then you can sub to that comm from your account

          They were to the left of netanyahu. centrists don’t like that.

          .ml is the third instance that centrists have a problem with. When their constant whining gets them what they want and .world defederates from .ml, they’ll pick another instance and start whining about that.

          They’re all part of a conspiracy community where they think every nation or group the West doesn’t like is good and, less plausibly, working together. They take issue with anything that goes against that narrative.

          Honestly it seems goofy but harmless to me. But, many people take personal offence. And they did make Lemmy.

            I think it would be mostly harmless if they didnt they to use their unique position as the ‘main’ Lemmy instance to spread their crazy ideas beyond the confines of their space

            like theres other far left echo chambers in the fediverse, but theyve been mostly defederated from, like hexbear

              So what though? “We’re the baddies” has the opposite of mass appeal, even in other cases where it’s true and makes sense. They can shout at clouds all they want, along with the flat Earthers.
