Real. I joined it cuz it said it was FOSS focused and run by the creators of Lemmy which I thought was neat. Did not realize it was a tankie cesspool. I’m now banned from a good portion of it for “Nazi apologia” because I said calling Ukraine Nazis was Russian propaganda
Just jump instances. I might have my reservations about how the aversion to monetization means a lot instances are unstable or slow with no real incentives or even funding to improve it but there’s certainly something to be said for decentralization.
Some people reckon we’re a Nazi instance… shrug emoji.
I’m not sure why - but have read it a few times. If someone in the know could clue me in if there is actually some back lore to the claim I’d appreciate that.
America necessitates authoritarian strongmen, elected or not. We exploit and undermine liberal democracies when attempted in the developing world. All the while we directly arm over 80% of the world’s dictatorships.
Russia doesn’t do that. Russia doesn’t have 861 foreign military bases.
America is not only the least democratic nation on Earth, we are the only empire on Earth.
You’re calling me a tankie because I support democracy. You don’t.

I’m glad the instance I chose based on URL ended up being pretty good because sh.itjust.works.
I choose lemmy.world because it was top of the list and I had no idea of anything when I came over from Reddit back then

I wouldn’t think too much into this claim unless there is evidence
Just wondered why anybody would think such a thing…
First I’ve heard of it.
I’ve just read it in passing more than once… but some people like to throw buzz words around and generalise so that could be the case here.

Y’all have the best space industry community.
How do you change instances
It’s just Ukraine, no “the” in front.
Right thanks for the reminder
It has THE because it’s a geographic area of historic Russia, translating to “THE borderland”.
I’m older than “Ukraine”.
Policing other people’s language is very on point for Ukrainian nationalists. Banderites.
I ain’t ever had no Chicken Kyiv, but I bet it tastes like shit.
You can use your normal .ml account, you don’t need to hide being a tankie.
Russia is an authoritarian imperialist state.

Sounds like something the Russia might say… 🧐
I have a confession:
When I joined, I thought ML was for Machine Learning.
Same actually
I initially thought .ml was literally the TLD for the nation of Mali - so was super confused.
I mean, it is. But it’s one of the TLDs that allows wider use.
Only a few national TLDs require being related to the country, or at least being located in the country.
I thought ML is just two letters from Lemmy and it sounds nice

When I first joined Lemmy 3.5 years ago I almost joined .ml because it was the dev’s instance. I’m glad I chose .ee instead.
Thanks… unfortunately I’m well aware that’s a low bar lmao
You’re welcome to join the toast gang. We don’t have much, but we have an awesome logo and a cool name.
Why would anyone say that?
