Probably the easiest boycott you could do, let's do it Lemmy! (lemmy.world)

Here's a list of a few .ml communities and potential replacements:

ask lemmy - [email protected] [email protected]
linux - [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
memes* - [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
programmer humor - [email protected]
world news - [email protected] [email protected]
technology - [email protected]
funny - [email protected]
ukraine - [email protected]

Side note the main issue with .ml is transparency. It's fine if the admins of an instance implement whatever rules they want in their instance; however, once they start enforcing hidden rules disguised as violations of the listed rules, they're being liars and treating the users as stupid things to be herded, not as human beings.

EDIT: as people noticed I'm not including .world comms to not encourage even further concentration of activity into the largest instance. Decentralisation is important. Also I'm adding stuff that you guys suggest.

* for specialised memes, as the category is rather large:

I had the audacity to say that the deaths of Tiannanmen's Square were inexcusable, no matter who started the violence, and my comment was removed under instance rule 1 (bigotry).. like wat 😂

Ah, typical lemmy.ml . They have a hard time understanding that you can support a certain ideology without necessarily turning a blind eye to everything that people claim to be doing for the sake of said ideology, or that any criticism against their actions is automatically false.

I remember you, by the way. You were already an old Lemmy user when I joined in, 3y ago!

I suggest you add [email protected] to the news section. Beehaw isn't accessible to people on instances they've defederated from or instances that have defederated them.

The .ml transparency thing is a symptom, not a root cause. The admins like and even participate in the .ml rhetoric. The rules ambiguity is intentional.

As long as it's not only lemmy.world communities you start growing. Centralization won't lead to good outcomes anywhere.

I wish I could. But as a mod, it very much helps to leave all people and instances/communities unblocked.
