Well this particular pathway isnt about getting .ml users to leave, but more “redirecting” good non-tankie content off their comms and into non-.ml comms
They can’t even see my posts lmao
It’s because it’s part of my .ml cross-posting campaign, I try to maintain the original link as much as possible so it shows in the crosspost menu of clients
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

I’m physically here. Mentally…I’m running a little late LMAO


Thanks, I read through it and it makes sense now, though I’m not sure how much we can trust CDC info currently, but it doesn’t look like it’s been modified (yet) to be crazy
I’m def in that window, so that’s probably why that or the whole “unless there’s an outbreak” part, which is why I asked him about it in the first place lmao


Got a source on that? My info came direct from my doctor, not that it wouldn’t be the first time a doctor gave inaccurate or outdated info, but it still carries more weight for me over a random person online


Just an fyi, if you’re over the age of 30 and the last MMR vaccine you had was the childhood rounds, you need to re-up
I could, but not without breaking the crossposting link
