You're thinking of lemmygrad.ml
Lemmy.ml is pretty diverse as far as I'm aware.
Browsing any Lemmy instance is like swimming in a public pool and saying only the other half of it is filled with piss and this part is fine...
Lemmygrad and lemmy.ml are both run by the same developers and occupied by the same users: tankies and people who are pro CCP apologists.
PSA: All public swimming pools are filled with piss.
It used to be filled with stingrays and Aids, so piss is tad bit better
Those are the same people.
I think you all conflate the admins with the userbase. Lemmy.ml has a lot of regular users & communities. In that sense you would have to blanket block all Lemmy instances in general.
A community and its direction is though largely depending on the Admins.
Just recently some tankie posted a "meme" on "meme" that just casually tried to claim the Rothschild Family was intertwined with western media and because of that western media bad, just the casual antisemitism. And the Admins did not care.
I can guarantee you that the majority of Lemmy.ml users have absolutely no clue about the political views of their admins. There's a reason why Lemmy.ml is so much larger than Lemmygrad.ml.
And I've seen stupid conspiracy shit on kbin and lemmy.world as well.
The issue is not whether there is some individual occasion where some individual person posts "conspiracy shit."
The issue is whether admins act on user reports of blatant anti-semitism.
Pretty much this. It still gets a lot of flack for being operated by the developers of Lemmy, but there are a large number of users and communities that exist on lemmy.ml for no other reason than it being one of the larger original instances. Most operators of high-volume instances are unlikely to take action against lemmy.ml unless a situation develops that gives them no other choice.
Diverse but still full of tankies.
Doesn't the .ml stand for marx and lenin?
That's the rumour.
It's technically the domain for Malawi, who operate a free domain name scheme.
But apparently those devs picked it because of Marx Lenin.
Thank you for this! I've been wondering what it was but didn't care enough to look it up.
It stands for Marxism-Leninism, which other people would call Communism.
