Got the tankie triad in there. I switched from lemm.ee too and forgot to reblock those, mentioned that term in a comment thread on .ml and the content got removed for “bigotry”. Reassures having them in there is a good idea.
Lemmygrad.ml seems kinda obvious, but I have a completely naive question about lemmy.ml. Is it essentially the same? Why is it a controversial instance.
Based on just the sidebar description it sounds like a cool instance: A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers
But I also see a lot of people saying they have it blocked
It’s not as extreme as Lemmygrad, but there’s a good deal of overlap.
A lot of people, despite using Lemmy, also disagree ideologically with the developers of Lemmy, and feel as though it’s a conflict of interest to both develop the platform and have a preferred instance on it.
I don’t block .ml and I think the majority of users there are fine, but there are a few specific people (a couple who I know also have alts on Lemmygrad) who just show up everywhere and tend to give the entire instance its reputation.
You can host your own instance, or use another Fediverse platform which integrates with Lemmy like Mbin or Piefed.
Edit: Also worth noting that your Lemmy instance (lemm.ee) announced they’re going offline at the end of the month, so if you’re looking for alternatives, there’s plenty of options on Lemmy as well as other platforms.
I don’t remember why I blocked .ml because it was a long time ago but I’d guess I got tired of the users and many of the communities bleeding tankies into the rest of Lemmy.
I’ve heard that blahaj has changed a lot too but I haven’t really noticed it not being in my feed so I haven’t bothered to check.
Most of them I don’t know why. I just came back to this account because of lemm.ee.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, still figuring things our.
How else would you use the platform without joining an instance? Just have a private server?

Yeah I posted here a few days ago about trying to find a good alternative. I’m very sad to see lemme.ee go
