Maybe someday π

And? Better to let them have to engage as a normie instead of having an entire instance astroturfing their BS.
I'd rather they stay on ML, that way I can block the instance and never hear from them.
-
What would you guys even talk about?
-
Honestly .ml and .world deserve each other. Sh.it.just.works too, most common in my blocked user list.
-
No. I donβt think a group of bad actors should kill an instance. We all have so many tools to ignore people or entire instances.

.ml is the "bad actor" in this case for one, and for two, one of those tools is defederation. Nobody is talking about forcing .ml wholly offline.
Grad and hex are perfectly alive even with most of the network defederating from them.
-
Yeah, Hexbear and Lemmygrad are instant blocks.
For .ml, you either joined on the wrong instance or are too deep into communist dreamsNobody told me all this when I signed up. I was simply instructed to pick an instance, and I did.

Idk memes n stuff

Well, luckily, you can make an account elsewhere and not have people assume you're an asshole because you associate (unknowingly) with assholes

What did we do?

came here to make the exact same 1st statement. .world is quite a bully friendly instance.
Just look at my modlogs from them. Feds through and through.
I know nothing irt sh.itjust.works
-
What did we do?
We exist.
Nah, probably because some people find the url funny and annoy people with that account.

After lemm.ee went down I joined ml because it was the largest instance
I didn't know the backstory

Lol it's ok, they do things purposefully like that to an extent to get that result. Like if you go to Lemmygrad or Hex's homepage its quite clear you're somewhere weird that needs further investigation.
You go-to lemmy.mls homepage and it looks like a normal "privacy focused" instance. Until you innocently comment in support of Ukraine or something and find yourself being dunked on and banned for supporting a "Nazi regime"

This is, why Lemmy will probably never be successful.
People are told to choose any instance and they choose the biggest ones, because that's also probably the one with the most content and activity. And after that other people will tell them they made a bad choice and it's their own fault. -

Be bigger than them. Probably sees your instance as some sort of threat. They always shit on the big instances, I've seen Hex users refer to SJW as "Shit Just Stinks" before and they were celebrating the .ee shutdown. They consider .world some sort of right-wing instance run as a CIA/fed psyop
-
.world needs .ml else it would just become Reddit 2.0, just as boring and asinine, but without the traffic. .world is the kiddie pool... but not everyone knows how to swim, so it fills an important role!

But your logic supports .world defederating .ml so that when a user is ready to "leave the kiddie pool" they do so by moving to a wider instance, like .zip

I definitely didn't know how heated people were towards .ml when I joined. istg I'm not a tankie.

Everyone needs a taste of anti-imperialist and non-Western takes, either for their sanity or just for their ideological development. I know Americans are gonna need them since the empire is coming home with full force, for instance. Without them, without 'radicals' like those in .ml, the folks will just be fed a new narrative to curtail their cognitive dissonance (it's the most imperceptible of buzzes for the least cerebral among us but it's still there) and they'll eat it up because that's all they're exposed to. So, no, they should be connected, for the sake of exposure. It's important too for those more .ml-coded to read, post and quickly check the downvote/upvote ratio in .world just like it was/is on big subreddits to get a feel of what the average literate Westerner, who at least considers discussion important (better than your average American, for instance), is thinking/has been fed recently.
