I for one have stopped posting any content to lemmy.ml communities.
I blocked .ml and there was a sharp decrease of content.
Seeing that, I was forced to walk back and use reedit more. At least there you won't find people arguing pro-genocide in a post about Linux Kernel.
Or that Russia is actually totally not an authoritarian state LMAO
Choose an ml community and post content from there to an equivalent non-ML community from time to time and we won't have to worry about a "content shortage" in the future. Someone posted a nice list of ML communities and an equivalent non-ML one ITT
yes, please continue this trend isolating yourselves from the fediverse
lemmy.world is the most toxic instance and every insanely bloodthirsty, racist, misogynistic, or otherwise vile take seems to come from your lot
I see the liberals who got upset at bluesky being a "tankie echo chamber" are right at home on lemmy.world where they year for nothing but a Reddit 2.0 where 90% of the content is fed through a handful of professional content astroturfers or bot accounts linked to three-letter agencies.
ml makes sense on the fediverse. That's kind of the whole point. Same with Linux.
On the upside, every time a .world community has these anti-federation wreckers cry and scream because they got banned for some repugnant views (but by design of federation they can just join a new site) I just block the whole community.
Might not be defederation but you're only turning these Comms into lame Reddit discourse farms that does the opposite of your evil plan.
I feel like I'm missing something important here as a simple fediverse user. I don't really care about the politics, I just made an account during the first large Reddit exodus and choose an instance I thought would persist. I also made a second account on kbin.social, but it looks pretty dead as a project.
I never noticed anything described in this thread, but I'm subbed to many communities across the fediverse...

Here is a nice community that keeps track of their bullshit
I like the idea of growing non-ml community, however, I wish larger instances do not block ML. Otherwise, they would just move to lemmy.ee or lemmy.one, just like how they moved from hexbear and grad to ml.
It is great tankies got their own place where they can be happy, but I really don't want to interact with them. I am emotional about issues they engage in, and emotional me is usually not the nicest version of myself.
Social media is one of the few ways I can relax for couple hours per week outside of my job, and I really don't want my social media experience to go full investigative journalism.
