Seriously, these guys are straight up tankies with nothing worthwhile to contribute. Can we defederate them and isolate their BS?

        You’re thinking of .grad

        .ml is just run by assholes, but it isn’t exclusively populated by tankies. The user base is pretty hard left leaning, but so is lemmy as a whole, just with a bit less of the extra hard left.

        Besides, they don’t cause trouble as an instance. You defederate from that one, and the same people will use other accounts if they’re actively proselytizing their politics. And I promise you, the ones that are doing that have multiple accounts on multiple instances just for that reason.

          What I want to know is, why is either instance using “.ml”? That’s US military and entities connected with Mali, and I highly doubt they’re based out of Mali. I wonder if this means we can just wait and the government will shut them down for us! Or maybe they’re just letting them be so they can monitor them more easily.

        maybe it is if you’re just looking at the political communities (news, politics, etc) but the other communities are fine

      I take it you’ve never interacted with the head admins there? I had the displeasure once and they aren’t really open to conversation. Once they have decided on something, then they won’t actually accept any sort of discussion, you’ll just be talking to a brick wall.
