.ml works great for me. What problems did you have with it?
Mostly the people running and modding it are insane.
Thank God I don't give a fuck about Lemmy dramas. If it works and I like the content, I'll stay.
The problem starts when your comments silently get removed and you end up getting banned under vague "rule 1" because a mod disagrees with your view. The narrative of communities are defined by the mods even though the community is just a generic one.
Which is fine for you, but other people might not like existing on an instance entirely devoted to bootlicking and silencing any differing opinions (that are even left of mainstream… but not left enough).
People joining .ml should know what they’re getting.
Oh you mean the communism?
I am communist
They aren't communists, they are campists who harm leftist movements by doing things like simping for autocrats and making tyrants into folk heroes for the sake be being contrarian.
Banning criticism of China and Russia has literally nothing to do with communism.
I can understand that someone might think communism is a better solution and worth a shot - but what I can’t understand is the China/Russia apologia. Trying to convince people what is plainly happening isn’t is a form of mental illness.
