I recently made the decision to unsubscribe from the vast majority of ML communities I was in. They’ve been getting a lot more obnoxious as of late, both in terms of the normal users as well as the mods getting more heavy-handed.
Honestly, I recommend everybody consider it for themselves, as well. If you have communities hosted on ML, it might be a good idea to start migrating elsewhere, because I see them quickly becoming defederated from a lot of instances soon with the way they’re progressing.
Same. I’m “boycotting” lemmy.ml if you will. Not contributing a single, comment, upvote, or subsciber count, to posts and communities on an instance that supports Russian and Chinese imperialism.
I defederated my instance outright. I got fed up after (yet another) smug person from .ml, this time insisting “the only way to respect Palestinians in the upcoming election is to not vote for either candidate.”
It might have been the same person. Given the strong favoritism to the CCP expressed by the instance operators, I’m not entirely unconvinced that such messaging isn’t intentional manipulation as part of the CCP’s election interference campaign (which from what I’ve seen favors Trump).
Look I gotta pay my skyrocketing rent and its either open up an OF on the side (I have been informed that this would violate BDS so that’s off the table), selling blood plasma, or federal election interference.
Xi actually personally signs the checks that they send to me biweekly for my high quality posting. 💅

That’s right on schedule. There is a toxic mob that struggles to exist together (because they alienate themselves every time in a matter of weeks). They started on Reddit, originally collecting in chapostraphouse and got their community banned and each subsequent iteration has seen the same fate.
Then the fediverse was born and they began to self host. Now they couldn’t be banned. There was lemmygrad, then hexbear and .ml. Checkmate, right?
When more serious and honest hosts saw the pattern many enabled instance-blocking so we could eliminate the source as end users.
Most genuine folks I interact with have blocked lemmygrad and hexbear. The toxic cloud of chuds knows this and have been moving into .ml sublemmy and dispersing into smaller and smaller communities to evade being blocked by users.
It’s all quite interesting and funny if I’m being honest.
I wish I had a sociology degree, I’d publish so many fkn papers.

I’m losing patience for smug people in general.

Is anyone going to break it to him who bore it? 😂
ActivityPub was standardized by the W3C
I’m talking about Lemmy specifically.
I don’t want to moderate a bunch of new communities though
