That’s fair. I did not know the background of lemmy.ml or hexbear and I’m certainly learning that users from particularly the latter are somewhat unstable. I just subbed to a bunch of top news communities when I joined Lemmy. That’s on me lol.
I’m gonna keep .ml blocked for as long as they are federated with hexbear, they are annoying as fuck. Also lemmy.ml is super pro-china so it is pretty tankie, might have changed with the reddit migration, but, eh.
It was my impression that lemmy.ml is lemmgrad with a mask on, to pass as somewhat reasonable to the rest of the fediverse. On lemmagrad they just spew their bullshit with no filter.
Reading the comments…
Wish I could block an entire instance at once. Is that a thing I can do?
Yeah, some of these posts get wild. It’s a shame, since the actual communists are cool.
It is interesting seeing the left’s version of MAGAts, though.
If you’re a fan of genocides and totalitarian regimes then yeah, communists are cool.
You were dumb enough to walk into a lemmy.ml political post without knowing the background of lemmy.ml

If it works for you, good. I did the same for ‘politics’ which is just us politics. I still look over the fence occasionally though.
On Kbin, individual users can block instances. By going to https://kbin.social/d/**instance.name**
You can’t block instances but you can block the lemmy.ml and hexbear.net magazines, which are all tankie hell.
lemmygrad is the tankie one, pls don’t block me

You’re probably right, they probably bought the .ml domain to refer to marxism-leninism .
