    It might currently be a little split too, seeing as there is a Dota sub over on .world as well, and I know there are people who outright refuse to participate in subs on .ml. Though the threads over on .world get even less traction. Would still be a good idea to consolidate subs though I think.

        He has an agenda against .ml. I haven’t personally witnessed any mod or admin overreach on the (non political, non news) subs I participate in on .ml, but I can understand why some people are against the instance.

        I would have preferred him to attempt a consolidation effort rather than straight up doing counter programming though.

            .ml is the instance maintained by the Lemmy developers and was the first general purpose instance, so it has a lot of big communities on it due to that. It has a reputation for hosting a lot of mods that are so called “tankies”. I haven’t really rubbed up against this behaviour myself as I mostly stay away from news and politics subs.

            There is a whole sub dedicated to hating on them called !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works but I don’t hang around there either. I don’t care much for the political squabbles.

              gotcha. lmao, i’ve definitely hated on several folks in other areas enough to get comments removed. i’ve also blocked a few people because they’re clearly unhinged.
