I’ll be honest; This looks petty, and I dont see the point of putting so much energy into this.
Documentation of authoritarians authoritarianism and the ideologies they cultivate/promote/push is always a worthwhile endeavor
.ml likes to operate with subtlety to push their brand of authoritarianism and support for Russia or NK or China. Hex and grad?..not so much. So I document their subtlety. Hopefully at the very least, it shows newcomers that there is a large pushback against their crap and the Threadiverse isn’t the left-wing version of Voat.
It’s kinda is though. I mean, if you block half the Threadiverse then it becomes halfway usable but until then… I’ve stopped recommending to people irl. The number of outright dirty looks that people have given me after doing a Google search (we are talking mainstream non-technical normal folks here alright!?!) and finding as the top instance hit Lemmy.ml (nowadays it points to lemmy.world but a couple years ago it was ML), which remember shows only Local content rather than All, to someone without an account… was simply too damn high!
