Why am I cross-posting .ml?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

Cartman would honestly be a better president, Meteor would be even better, but his pools cratered in the last election

Yes, but now there’s been a study(s) done, and more studies to backup (or disprove!) is always good, even if the subject “is a given”

Kinda, Infowars/Alex Jones was in court and being ordered to sell off their assets to pay the Sandy Hook lawsuit. The Onion put in a bid along with another company that “Totally has no association with Alex Jones”, The Onion’s bid was higher than this other company, but the judge basically said “Um actually, no you can’t have it” and froze their bid on a technicality

Just “kids” though “boys will be boys” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯😂
Context, this user is quite angry about my documentation work against the .ml admins
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it was mostly for others.
But on a technical note, subscriber count is an almost useless metric on Lemmy. There are a LOT of dead accounts.
A far better metric is MAUs, which .ml linux ranks 29th
