And unfortunately lemmy.ml is getting more online traffic recently.

    It’s not a good discussion when they ban you in the middle of it for saying NATO is a defensive alliance.

      I said worse things about USSR history and I still comment on political LM posts when I feel like putting effort, and don’t even care about the instance if the subject is neutral. Their users did appreciate deeper digs in what it really was if I could produce some insights. The only user\mod I had problems with is y-tos, and I choose not to touch anything they write at all.

        i feel like .ml is kind of hit or miss, some of the people on it are fine, some are just assholes, and some are just straight tankies. It’s a weird mix going on over there.

          That was the default Lemmy instance for a very long time, so I guess for pre-reddit exodus folks it wasn’t more of a choice than for lemmy.world users now.

      That is a shock? In my experience political and news communities are always biased and will remove anything that isn’t a part of the narrative. Some are worse than others but the desire to stop “misinformation” often leads to censorship.
