Welcome ex-Redditors!

We know everyone immediately followed the profile to see the boobs, don't we?
(They are nice btw)

Ya know what, I just looked at their instance page for the first time and their community rules show that they appear to have their head on straight and are setting good policy. I'll have to try to get an account there and see what I've been missing.

Unless some of those redditors ARE tankies

USSR (and China, too) didn't even have communism. It had socialism and strived for the communist world in the future.

Lemmy.ml admins remove content critical of the CCP, and similar things. The admins of most other instances don't do that shit.
Grad is much the same, while Hexbear is just 4chan for Stalinists.

No I know, but I'm not interacting with the admins of .ml, and I haven't really seen anything from the average .ml user that isn't your run of the mill leftist talking points I see all over Lemmy. They're not censoring or banning me from posting Winnie the Pooh, you know? Your experience may be different.
I have no idea what grad and hexbear are, I've never seen those instances and I'm assuming my admin already defederated from them. They're pretty reasonable in that regard.
Maybe I should learn Finnish in their honour...

I mean, unless you frequent .ml communities, they can't censor or ban you.
That's the thing though. Those .ml communities end up quietly curated to curb any criticism of the admins' favorite authoritarians. Highlighting this fact is necessary, and participating in .ml communities is undesirable at best; those who still wish to do so should at least be informed as to what goes on.

Oh I see what you're saying. I agree about the communities, but I was speaking more about the users from .ml getting blasted in communities outside .ml simply because they are from that instance (like in this thread).
If the users from there are participating in communities from outside that instance and following the rules, why does it matter if they're from .ml? They're not in the censored community, we're not in the censored community, who cares what the .ml admin are doing?

Communities shape how people think and act. Normalizing bootlicking for authoritarian regimes causes those who participate in those communities to feel and reproduce that normalization. Not only that, but when grad and Hexbear were defederated by many instances, many users on Grad and Hexbear created accounts on .ml for the explicit purpose of continuing the authoritarian apologia they so enjoyed in the exact places that told them they weren't welcomed. At some point, pattern recognition sets in, and it's not inherently wrong for it to do so.
I don't think every .ml user is an authoritarian. But if I see someone making authoritarian apologia, I'd say a good 4/5s of the time, it's someone from .ml.

Sure, but only if they're solely in those echo chambers, which if they're posting in .world, they clearly aren't. And any ones who do are told off because of the content of their posts, not their home servers.
I see quite a few inflammatory posters from .world and .ee (especially of the American exceptionalism, anti-Palestine, and more recently anti-Canadian (🤭) varieties) but I don't automatically assume every single person on those servers hold those values. In fact, I think 9/10 comments I see you post specifically, PugJ, I agree with.
I had no idea about the Hexbear/lemmygrad lore though, I'll definitely keep that in mind going forward.

This seems like an odd message considering that Lemmy, as software, is being praised here; and what is being criticized are instances wherein the admins enforce apologism for authoritarian regimes.

Those assholes don’t like women’s sports, they only use it as a stick to hurt those who are different from them.

And you picked that?

it's funny that .zip is a domain, yes. I can't imagine it gets used for anything other than email scams
