I like this view, because I have zero idea what I just walked in on. This account is just 16 days old and I'm just here to chat non-politics and doomscroll. And by 16 days old I mean like 4 because their acceptance email got sent to spam and I didn't notice it until then.
Tbh, I had no idea there were even factions or drama among the instances.
You should make an account on another instance, if you don't like the heavy hand of defederation of .world, lemmy.sdf.org is a good one and sh.itjust.works is another
There's also this community if you want to see for yourself the kind of behavior the admins and mods of .ml support, encourage and even participate in !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
Honestly, that's what I'm currently doing. I've always chuckled at the cleverness of the name sh.itjust.works. I started on .world, but I forgot to migrate my 2fa because I switched from Google Authenticator to an open source one on a new phone and didn't take my lemmy token for some damn reason.
I'm only switching because I'm a neutral entity online when it comes to politics and identity. I use the internet to escape that, not dive into it. I don't mind seeing it, I just move along and let people be people. I'd rather not be potentially tied to an image or faction by association; its nothing against .ml or anything.
Lemmy.ml admins will delete anything that doesn't support China or Russia, and they'll also delete anything that speaks positively of Western countries or concepts. Then they'll purge the logs so that there's no evidence that they're censoring basically everything.
I started on .ml, and left after a couple months when I realized I was the only person on the instance who wasn't a tanky fully committed to arguing with every post I see. They seem to have toned down a bit after getting defederated a couple times, but there are a lot of extremists on that instance, and they're very loud. I felt like I was in a Chinese political re-education camp half the time.
