Fight against toxic tankieism and join the .ml boycott today! No posts, comments or upvotes on any comm on the lemmy.ml instance!
Isn't it better to just defederate from them? No different from Mastodon defederating from Gab.
Yes it would be, but most instances have been hesitant to, unlike they did with the rest of the Tankie Triad (Grad and Hexbear) because .ml is supposed to be the flagship Lemmy instance and as a result has a number of official support comms and some of the biggest (by subscribers only, if you look by MAUs it's a much different story)
On top of that, they tend to be much more subtle about it also unlike Hex/Grad which are very in your face about it. Instead opting to just censor any dissent before it gets too crazy and people catch on
So the hope is, if enough people boycott .ml, close down comms they're in charge of, purge threads and bring down traffic even more etc it'll be a much easier decision for LW Admins and admins everywhere to defederate.
A proper fork of Lemmy needs to happen and a new dev team needs to be established, me thinks. Unfortunately, .ml is basically a support hub for Lemmy admins so it's not as easy to defederate as you would think.
That was my last understanding and things may have changed a bit since I stuck my head into "Lemmy politics". Feel free to correct me if I am just wildly wrong.
This comm is devolving into a tptb (tankie power tripping bastards), isn't it? 😅
Lmao I wouldn't say so, !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works is good for documentation of their dissent censoring and Putin/CCP propaganda pushing lolol
That's probably a good thing, or else PTB would be almost nothing but .ml posts!
Just block their communities. By engaging on their turf, you are enabling their propaganda.
Does saying Russia is a "fascist-imperialist autocracy that invades its' neighbors for the purpose of subjugating them" count as alluding to Russia being the bad guy?
