“.ml has a bunch of huge comms” is nothing but a myth anyways

https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active_month

By MAUs, only a single .ml comm is in the top 25, doesn’t even crack the top 10 and it’s a meme comm

Join the boycott of the tankie instance Lemmy.ml today! So we can show instance admins of the wider Lemmy-verse that .ml does NOT reign supreme and it’s NOT worth it to “look the other way” on the .ml admins documented behavior because of their supposed “biggest comms”

Congrats to [email protected] 👏

    “look the other way”

    …my dude, same team, but ffs they are not “looking the other way,” this is how they want it, they fully support this, this is why they made lemmy, they got censored on reddit and came here so they can be the censors themselves have freedom of speech. Dessalines and Nutomic designed .ml like this and it will 100% never change, I’m just glad they were dumb enough to make it decentralized so they can’t control more than their bubble as much as they want to.

      Sorry, slight misunderstanding, I was referencing other instance admins looking the other way and not wanting to defederate from .ml. But yea the admins of .ml are absolutely hard core Tankies and use their influence as main Lemmy devs to push that agenda

      Theoretically they can’t but I think them being main developers may have some unforeseen ramifications in the future. I know that in theory everyone can fork and stuff but if they write shit enough quirky code no one else will understand or want to maintain the spaghetti. There is some power behind being the only one who understands entirety of the code I think that maybe could be used at some point with some obfuscation
