The shear amount of tankiness over on lemmy.ml is making me seriously consider leaving the platform.

    i mean its literally .ml so im not sure exactly what you were expecting? except for most of the reddfugees being directed there, the core demographic is tankies. just use an instance more alligned with your values instead; i use slrpnk.net because well im an Anarcho-Solarist.

    and if the tankie content really impacts your enjoyment of lemmy, just block offending users or communities.

      fairly sure that isn’t as obvious for most people as you think it is

        Yeah it’s the TLD for Mali. But I imagine Lemmy Devs chose it for Marxism-Leninism. The same way .io is for the British Indian Ocean Territory but is heavily used by tech companies.

      I’m on another instance but it’s making me rather uncomfortable that a lot of the traffic is happening on an instance that seems like it’s 90 CCP members and Russian trolls.

        yeah thas just the consequence of that instance being linked in a lot of exodus posts… not much we can change but i assume itll equalize out as lemmy grows and people spread out to other instances. ofc that a lot of the communities are on .ml sucks but that too may change with future developments such as multi-community implementations.
