I dunno, I feel like anyone drawn to Lemmy for that reason will find lemmy.ml nearly as easily. If world suffers because of bad practices, well, that's the way it goes. At least the fediverse lives on.

They will, yes, but not always. Apps like Voyager assume .world as the default, causing friction when leftists join and run into silencing of their views.

Lemmy.ml is interesting, it's a reference to Marxism-Leninism, but it doesn't require users to be Communists like Lemmygrad, or leftists in general like Hexbear, hence the active population on Hexbear.

Is it really? Others have said it isn't, that it's just because .ml domains were free.

Be an awfully large coincidence that the devs and admins of Lemmy.ml are Marxist-Leninists then, though I don't doubt the cheap domain played a part too.

Technically Lemmy.ml is focused on FOSS and Privacy, but requiring users to copy and paste exerpts from Principles of Communism (at one point) means it at least leans Communist.
