I blocked .ml and there was a sharp decrease of content.

Seeing that, I was forced to walk back and use reedit more. At least there you won’t find people arguing pro-genocide in a post about Linux Kernel.

I block everything from .ml because I rather not be part of Russian or China-nese psyops.

I’m out of the loop, what’s going on?

Why would you want to create an echo chamber? I genuinely don’t get it, it’s the internet, if you encounter an opinion you disagree with, literally just close the tab and it’s gone

Posting this to lemmy.world, lol

“We should defederate from everything which does not agree with my .world view and create a giant centralized echo chamber”!

Why the fuck does every .world user suddenly want Lemmy to be Reddit?

I don’t think the meme makes sense. The ml users don’t seem to care how much other content is out there. They still participate as much as they’d like.

Another day of .world reddit migrants thinking de-federating or boycotting .ml will change literally anything.

Listen. Just fuckin listen to me. The moment I joined lemmy every enthusiast was singing praise to the fediverse and how it’s easy to maintain the freedom of speach and yada yada yada. What it turned out to be is just constant quarrels between instances, defederations and crap like that while lemmy still fucking struggles to even become a mere shadow of reddit. I fucking hate reddit, I think spez should be covered in fire ants, but by god, looking at how insufferable most vocal lemmy users are, I may get back to reddit, probably as many other lemmy users already did.

I see the liberals who got upset at bluesky being a “tankie echo chamber” are right at home on lemmy.world where they year for nothing but a Reddit 2.0 where 90% of the content is fed through a handful of professional content astroturfers or bot accounts linked to three-letter agencies.

On the upside, every time a .world community has these anti-federation wreckers cry and scream because they got banned for some repugnant views (but by design of federation they can just join a new site) I just block the whole community.

Might not be defederation but you’re only turning these Comms into lame Reddit discourse farms that does the opposite of your evil plan.

I feel like I’m missing something important here as a simple fediverse user. I don’t really care about the politics, I just made an account during the first large Reddit exodus and choose an instance I thought would persist. I also made a second account on kbin.social, but it looks pretty dead as a project.

I never noticed anything described in this thread, but I’m subbed to many communities across the fediverse…

ml makes sense on the fediverse. That’s kind of the whole point. Same with Linux.

This whole thread in a nutshell:
