    Honestly, it’s kinda sad how much people care about what instances other people are on. Just because someone is on a certain instance that has some people who may have bad opinions and do certain things that aren’t right doesn’t mean everyone on that instance is to blame.

    Secondly, you obviously don’t hate the instance that much considering how much content you re-upload from there, or are you just “getting your own back” because you think people on that instance shouldn’t be able to upload their content?

    Thirdly, the fediverse was designed to have multiple instances with multiple communities, so trying to get other instances you specifically don’t like de-federated kinda goes against the point.

    And finally, you dislike .ml and their devs that much that you use a different instance on the platform they made. So going back to point 2, you obviously don’t hate them that much because you use the platform they made and also re-upload content from that instance.

    Why can’t people just enjoy the content Lemmy has to offer instead of moaning about the few people that may have unsavoury opinions or views? The world is full of people with unsavoury opinions and views, do you go out and look past all the good people or do you stress and care that much about the people who aren’t so good?

    (Also, idc if I get downvoted, it’s just a number on the internet. I’m simply here to enjoy content and bring content to the platform, that’s all. I don’t personally think all this moaning is worth it, but hey, here I am.)

      First, you didn’t pay attention to the meme at all, because if you had you would realize that I said .ml tankies specifically (or you did and then it’s kinda funny how you immediately thought I was talking about all .ml users)

      Second, .ml is actively hurting Lemmy in the Fediverse now

      Third, it’s mostly about the tankie “culture” (read pro-China, pro-Russia and even pro-NK misinformation and propaganda) that the devs, admins and mods encourage and enforce. You can’t even post anything negative, no matter how backed by facts or deserving it is, about China or Russia without getting some sort of ban. China IS an authoritarian dictatorship masquerading as fake communism.

      Fourth, .ml admins and mods doesn’t want Lemmy to grow even at a healthy pace, if it’s not growing in the direction they want (e.g. a tankie echo chamber).

      Fifth, I have no other major issues or concern with any other instance that hasn’t been already addressed (eg hexbear, lemmygrad)

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China

          The PRC officially terms itself as a democracy, using terms such as “socialist consultative democracy”, and “whole-process people’s democracy”. However, the country is commonly described as an authoritarian one-party state and a dictatorship, with among the heaviest restrictions worldwide in many areas, most notably against freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, free formation of social organizations, freedom of religion and free access to the Internet. China has consistently been ranked amongst the lowest as an “authoritarian regime” by the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy Index, ranking at 148th out of 167 countries in 2023. Other sources suggest that terming China as “authoritarian” does not sufficiently account for the multiple consultation mechanisms that exist in Chinese government.

          Or in other words, says one thing, but does another

            Wikipedia is not a source , and your ‘source’ does not support your argument. It states some claim it’s not a democracy, mainly it’s military enemies who themselves claim to be a democracy, but less than 10% of the populace gets any power.
