This is what the admins of .ml cultivate, as documented in the megathread

Credible sources removed just within the last day: https://lemmy.world/post/32298242 https://lemmy.world/post/32426343

.ml is not much different than the rest of the Triad, continued federation with them is continuing to allow them to spread toxic misinformation and behavior across the Threadiverse.

If you’re an instance admin, please consider defederation.

Users, consider joining the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance.

Other wonderful content, and this is just from when I looked at the local new feed a bit ago:

Classic RT I’m sure you all know and Pravda.ru “Pravda Report”

    Thanks for bringing this to my attention, OP. I had heard of the problems with .ml but haven’t seen it laid out as well as you did.

    I’d definitely prioritise an instance that doesn’t federate with them.

      Lemmy.cafe is a wonderful little instance that defeds from the whole Triad while federating with most of the rest of the network

          .world has not defederated from Lemmy.ml, I really wish they would, being the largest it would be of huge boost to the health of the Threadiverse

          But the others are Hexbear and Lemmygrad (if you wanna see some of the things they say, check this thread out (viewed as a local post outside your client) https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/48132283)

            Thanks for the heads up. I’m surprised that the support channel/community on .world doesn’t have a post requesting outright defederation from .ml. I’ve searched through nearly two years of posts there but found nothing substantial.

              I don’t think it was on the support comm, but they did respond on a thread about it once on why they don’t defed from them like they did the other 2.

              It boiled down to 3 things: big comms, official Lemmy support comms and the fact the devs rolled out instance blocking tools

              The 1st one, I’m hopefully solving with my cross-posting and calls for boycotting, the third one is by calling attention to the fact that it doesn’t work as one would think. Pretty sure everyone thought block meant block when it was being discussed.

    I just use old.lemmy.world but I was quite surprised to see a direct link to TheGrayZone on the very top of it.

    It bears repeating: Russia is bombarding us with propaganda.

    even reddit wouldnt allow this for the most part on the main news subs. its the reddit rejects that flood to these instances.

    I am ok leave them as is. Tankies are usually very identifiable and generally not very bad people.

    If I am American, I might self hate enough to become a tankie too.
