I've seen several references to some sort of rift between the users of these instances today. What's happening?

I just want to add to the discussion that I think it's perfectly healthy if two instances don't like each other and/or have different outlooks - it's the beauty of the fediverse and having decentralisation that they don't have to agree on everything.

ml and other tankie instances are actual cess pits of dangerous misinformation, delusion and abusive cult activity

actually bad for members and the wider world

Funny coming from a straight up pro-genocide Zionist.

But that's exactly the kind of person .world will coddle to "own the commies"

The point is instances don't have to federate with them if they're causing problems for their members but from what I've seen I'd say they're relatively benign, it's not like they're fascists.
