This is the kind of content the .ml admins cultivate through their bans and censorship. They’ll frequently remove articles from credible good sources that directly go against their narratives, while allowing misinformation and conspiracy websites to include RT, Sputnik and (as shown) random substack blogs as long as they tow the narratives that align with them.
E.g. Ukraine is a Nazi regime and Russia is just “liberating” the Ukrainian people
Join the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance!
And consider donating to individual instances instead
This is why I don’t donate to the devs because it indirectly goes to .ml. This is also why people think Lemmy is nothing but tankies because they’re ok with that image.
i’m so glad piefed is picking up steam! once voyager support is good i’m done with lemmy and donating to piefed
Still waiting for that to jump ship
I recommended to people to go to Lemmy, and then I got told “you mean the place where it is full of tankies?” Tankies give the entire community a bad name.
Username doesn’t check out.
interestingly, a healthy portion of thethreadiverse is quite anti-tankie precisely because of these instances.
Which is why I advocate for pushing large instances, like .world, to defederate as they have for the other 2 instances in the Triad
We can’t force .ml offline and we can’t force them to install an actually unbiased and fair admin team.
But we can control our association with them, if the rest of the network defeds from them at the very least we can all say “yea they’re there, but we’ve cut ourselves off from them because they’re nuts” and I think that could go very far
