MODERATORS
The developers who created Lemmy are leftists, and they run the lemmy.ml instance. The lemmy.ml (.ml is for Mali, btw) domain was allegedly chosen because ML can also stand for Marxist-Leninist.
I'm not an expert on the subject, but lemmy.ml users are known for being tankies. People don't like that.
However, some of you whipper snappers don't know that those of us with really old accounts joined back when lemmy.ml was the most popular instance. I just like FOSS things.
Edit: added "allegedly"
I'm on ML because it is the dev's instance, that's it. Also, I dislike how .world is run.
Just don't post anything anti China or Russia and you'll be fine.
I am pretty anti-tankie. I'm even a mod at onehundredninetysix. The censorship of some words is kind of funny though.
Or swearwords, or any word that is partially composed of a swearword. Or talk about people that are pro-China or pro-Russia engaging in any kind of bad behavior in other places that have no relation to ML.
I'm sure the list continues, but I blocked them a while ago.
