I for one have stopped posting any content to lemmy.ml communities.

    The irony of a community promoting socialism while also instabanning anyone for the slightest wiff of criticism is just chef’s kiss peak representation of why their system is doomed.

    If you can’t withstand the slightest nudge of criticism how are you even going to attempt to provide a governance system based on any kind of economic directive? If Marx could see what you guys have become he’d personally wipe his ass with your lame ml instance

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

    If anyone wants to go further and actually block the instance, it’s really quite difficult to impossible from base Lemmy but it can be accomplished, as described further in this post.

    Another day of .world reddit migrants thinking de-federating or boycotting .ml will change literally anything.

    The way I see it if they get defederated a lot of the people will migrate away from it and it won’t be “too big to fail” anymore

      The best way to keep them all contained would be to not defederate but encourage everyone on other instances to add it to their instance mute list so you don’t have to interact with them.

    Something about .ml and MLs in general is that they really just aren’t that large a group. If we want larger communities, Reddit is still much bigger than Lemmy. If we want a flawed ally in politics, progressive liberals outnumber Leninists and are far less likely to deliberately betray us. (That’s why MLs always equate Liberalism with fascism; if people can ally with Liberals MLs have basically nothing they can bring to a coalition, and so they can’t seize power.)

    Why would you want to create an echo chamber? I genuinely don’t get it, it’s the internet, if you encounter an opinion you disagree with, literally just close the tab and it’s gone
