It has gotten much better. More content and general activity and nutjobs at .ml and similar got mostly isolated from the rest of the network.
I think fediverse is really shaping up as a strong reddit alternative. Most pop subjects are mirrored here and the vibe is very similar to early reddit so there no real reason to go to reddit other than super niche communities like of a tv show or something.
Most props go to the lemmy.world team as it kept a consistent big network running that keeps the project stable!
lemmy.ml is like a degenerate wading pool of piss and misinformation.
If you haven't been banned there you have not truly lived. Let us come together in our detest.
It is actually sad that some good comunities try to occur there and are forced to deal with the consequences of whole instance's fame.
That's the great thing about decentralization - we can migrate very easily!
Damn, you guys really make me feel like I'm missing out lol
You don't have to try hard or even do anything particularly bad I think I got a ban for calling a mod 'my ruski friend' or something iirc. They have that super rare brittle bone disease but it's only in their brain.
Thanks for info, that's what I was looking for, it means not leftist I assume.
The ml in Lemmy.ml stands for Marxist-Leninist. Anything past that is for you to unpack; in my uninformed opinion, however, it seems that .world has an irrational hate boner for .ml.
I'm hard as a rock for it!
