You should make a fork with a block that works!

What censorship? I have documented evidence of .ml's rampant censorship
If .world is doing their own flavor then where's the receipts?
Also, .world doesn't need .ml, nobody needs .ml, they only have like 2 comms that don't have a non.ml variant that beats them in MAUs
I got banned for anti-white racism from political memes lmao the crime was linking readsettlers.org

The ML stands for Marxist-Leninist. I recall it being clarified better when I last visited several years ago. "What is Lemmy.ml?" is a link that expands on the instance as "niche" rather than mainstream.
That's not "literally advertising", that's an Easter egg, a very subtle hint or maybe even "coded language"
In any case, it requires the person encountering it to already have a concept of it and background knowledge to some degree.
This isn't the 90's/early 2000s anymore where there were only a few TLDs to go around, back then encountering .ml would have lead to a line of questioning like you say.
But not today, today the average user doesn't question the TLD anymore (as long as it's not one frequently associated with "scams" like .xyz) because there's just so many of them ranging from .io to .AI to .shop and .network

I honestly don't know what the big fuss is about. I became member of Lemmy.ml a couple of years ago when it was basically the only existing instance if I remember correctly. I've never seen any drama apart from posts like this that claim the admins suck or the users suck. Maybe those claims are even valid, but do they even affect the average user at all? I've considered changing instances even, but it seems rather a lot of effort for a lot of hot air to me.
I strongly suspect this is conservative persecution complex. Sometimes I wish these types of users would go back to Reddit, but Reddit is such a hellscape now I wouldn’t even wish that on condescending .world users. Rather them stay here and bolster lemmy numbers, even with their shit takes included.

As I said earlier, it was advertised. I didn't make it up, it just isn't written there anymore.

I'd rather they stay on ML, that way I can block the instance and never hear from them.
Don't you still see their posts on other threads?

This was one mod on one comm, if it's a good or bad mod decision I won't comment on. But poor mod decisions can happen any time anywhere.
The problem with .ml is the fact that it's the admins micromanaging across the entire instance in order to push a political narrative. Nearly all mod actions in the .ml modlog is from 2 admins and shows a clear bias to push their ideology, leveraging their notoriety to do it and allowing known misinformation outlets' "articles" to fester while surprising criticism from credible outlets.

Yes but being federated with them means they can have their conversation in your space or overrun it, hence why op is saying it would be better to defederate
That's why instances, communities, and users can be blocked and banned. If 'their conversation' is not allowed in 'your space' then do the thing and move on.

My messages to ruud i think who is also a mod in that community as well as an admin about the earlier ban were ignored so I assume at least one admin is on board with the theory of anti-white racism.

Take it to [email protected] then and lay out your case publicly

Lemmy.ml is not anti-imperialist. They remove anything critical of China and Russia, both imperialist states.
Instances that are actually anti-imperalism in that they criticise both Western and Russian/Chinese etc imperialism might be lemmy.dbzer0.com or slrpnk.net.
lemmy.ml is arguably one of the most imperialist instances especially in terms of censorship.
I am banned there so you might be right about the censorship.

those tankies would be very upset if they could read.
Lmao tankies are notorious for their reading lists lol. Here e.g. is an introductory one https://lemmy.ml/post/22417306

'Do the thing' is using the tools a user has at their disposal to block other users. Communities can block and ban users too.
Defederation over moderation is not the thing I am suggesting. Especially not as part of a multiyear campaign perpetuating a bad-faith feedback loop.

Almost a year old and doesn't cover the most recent action within just the last 7 hours, like I said, take it to [email protected] and reference your original thread as well as the new actions

True, I don't pay much attention to the mod log for example, I did not even know it was a thing. I regularly browse my communities and /r/all or whatever the main feet is called. I am here for content that interest me, no matter on what instance it is hosted. I thought that was the whole point of federation.
You're right, and I don't blame you for being a passive user.
Here, you can try it yourself — pay attention to users like Yogthos or Cowbee. 9 times out of 10 you end with threads of them monologuing to themselves against deleted comments.
-
What would you guys even talk about?
Beans and jeans, have you not been paying attention?
-
Don't you still see their posts on other threads?
I do see their comments, but not their posts.

ML stands for Mali, there's no TLD for Marxism lol
Lol. I think there is one for Republican and Democrat though. Which is funny. Or maybe it's like conservative or something. I don't know. There are so many TLDs now, it's crazy.
