    OP is the most misdirected backwards shit I’ve ever heard of. They enjoy the comic but refuse to give credit to the creator. It’s so stupid it must be an April Fools, right? Right?

          They’re just mad because of my boycott/protesting crossposting of .ml content, beyond that, not sure because I tag all OC content with the username as appropriate nor do I crop out artist names LMAO

          Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

          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 help vitilize non-.ml comms and 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 active niche comms.

          Megathread on the issue

          Some highlights from the link:

          .ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

          “If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

          "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

          “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

          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.

          theres a guy with a bug up his craw about .ml so he made it a point to crosspost all content from it to .world which is technically just crossposting but it was in such a brigade type of way (well one person and tons of accounts brigade) that it got rather annoying ane wierd. He might be still doing it but I have like a dozen cm0002 alts blocked now.

            Yea how dare I take a stance against authoritarians

            to .world

            No need to lie, I don’t post anything to .world, I distribute the crosspost to comms across many many different instances (except .world)
