Greetings all, don’t know if this type of cross posting is allowed here, my sincere appologies if not, I’ve recently started a c/archive community. You might find this interesting :))

Really wish that wasn’t on .ml
Edit: Hi tankies! Stalin was a bad dude, stay mad.
So am I looked differently because I happened to join .ml instead some other instance? I was at first at different one, but lost my login and hadn’t used an email when signing up so I had to create another one. I just chose one instance randomly and it happened to be ml. I’m I fucked?
not really, but .ml kinda has a bad recognition due to numerous issues with some people on it
Sort of a guilt by association thing. The .ml instance is also defederated from some other instances because of this. I wouldn’t say you’re fucked but it was enough to get me to first switch instances and then switch platforms to Mbin entirely because I found out the main devs for Lemmy are also admins for the .ml.
I think most people would probably be understanding but some people will definitely make assumptions due to the instance names. I would be more worried about the admins messing with my posts or banning me because they didn’t like something I said. Hexbear is another would I would recommend avoiding, not sure if their domain got banned or what but they were very unpopular amongst most of the instances because of extremist shit.
Edit: lol, tankies mad
I really wish they’d not use slop for the header, so it’s a no, I guess.
What’s wrong with .ml?
It’s a tankie instance that censors and bans people who don’t align with their politics (which are pretty extreme, Stalin is looked upon kindly and his body count A-OK as far as they’re concerned, criticism and free speech are very much not though).
I used to have an account there and this wasn’t my experience, and I used to be a capitalist back then. I mainly quit because there was nothing to do there, this was before lemmy gained an actual userbase following the reddit api situation when the most popular post on the whole network had one hundred upvotes and eight comments or something.
You’ll be fine if you don’t involve yourself with the political communities, I don’t see why you would considering there still doesn’t seem to be much activity there.
Ya, fuck free speech I love mass killing
There was no Holodomor comrade, it was like, you know, they just made it up or something idk
So do I =) To be fair, I first tried registering on db0 instance and start this community here. But my account was rejected for some reason (probebly me not able to pass registration process LOL).
Might be worth considering going to Mbin or Piefed instead? I’ve been enjoying kbin.earth a lot more than my old Lemmy instance. Piefed looks pretty good too but I haven’t really tried it yet.
I’d add to the suggestions Friendica too. Unfamiliar with Piefed (maybe I’ll create an account on the flagship instance to try out), but the other two also allow following microblogging stuff (e.g. Mastodon), as well as having microblogging functions to thread posts (e.g. boosting and tags).
Is Friendica federated too?
Piefied is very similar to Lemmy and Mbin/Kbin.
Federated, ye:
https://ani.social/post/27255390Design-wise, Friendica resembles Facebook.
Ah ok. I’ve always been more partial to forum style websites but I’d much rather see people use that over anything META owns!
Not interested if it’s on .ml.
