Just connect directly from a .ml account or from an instance where .ml is not blocked. Thatâs the beauty of the Fediverse: you can reach someone for the useful stuff they do, not not-reach them because people do not like the neighbourhood where they are established.
Any instance that is not part of the tankie triad? lemm.ee , lemmy.world, even your's lemmy.sdf.org , I don't mind any of them, and they are not aligned with any specific political ideologies unlike .ml
what instance country
I didn't think about this, but they're a French company, so maybe they could do it on the French instance? But I don't it matters much

Why slurs like that are accepted? People have the right to like communism principles. It doesn"t mean every one who support that support autoritarian regime. Communism ideology is stateless

I know, especially open source communities! But I am a political person, and instance moderators heavily defending authoritarian countries such as North Korea and Russia is a hard no go for me. So instead I try to engage in alternative communities on other instances, even if they are very small or sadly do not exist at all.

Would you be okay with a US instance then, for example? They have couped, bombed or invaded only 48 countries so far (including mine). Or perhaps an European instance! They invaded both Africa and America and particioned them nicely as well as exercised a bit of genocide, as a treat.
If the instance is focused around defending and enabling our fascists. Then everyone should object the same. That it just exists in the US isnât the same thing and besides the point.

I sent a PM regarding this. Hopefully theyâll respond and cross post the AMA post to other communities.
edit:
Hi!
Thanks for noticing us for the concerns about lemmy.ml.
Unfortunately, itâs a bit late to cross-post it now (We didnât ask to these specific communities for the AMA and we would need to check different links, I guess).
There are still a lot of Mastodon servers federated with Lemmy.ml so that can be a way to reach this AMA anyway.
Weâll think about lemmy.ml concerns for the next time!
Thanks again!
Well. I guess yâall have to wait for another AMA.
All these âconcernedâ asshole loser libs in this thread shouting âtankiesâ.
Guess what lemmy devs are leftists.
If you donât like that you can fuck off right back to reddit.
Ah, yes yes that old chestnut. Everyone else is the problem not you. People have legitimate problems with your instance and its administrators. Donât pretend for a moment that if server focused on a different authoritarian ideology opposed to yours was the host. That you wouldnât object either, despite the hypocrisy. Youâre on Lemmy.ml not Lemmy.org. At least the rest of us can be consistent in our stance.
I am fucking impressed. Even something as neutral as an announcement of an AMA hosted by a small group of FOSS developers on the flagship instance of the third most popular fedi platform is also overriden by this obsession to turn the fediverse into a turf war.
There is only one side of this massive waste of time of an argument that is obsessed with suppressing differing points of view, and itâs not âtankiesâ. There are way too many meta threads where users from 2 or 3 instances act like rabid monkeys slinging shit at everything if so much as someone has casually mentioned Marx in their general direction at some point in history. Even if a thread is not meant to be meta, there is a high % chance that the discussion has devolved into this. Some users really cannot think or discuss anything else. But because they override entire discussions, sometimes blocking them just leaves threads empty (see, for example, the present thread). At this point itâs pathetic, and makes me want to stop using Lemmy altogether.
It is also even more frustrating having seen the âlemmy.ml is a tankie instanceâ campaign be fabricated in real time the exact moment .world defeded grad because, otherwise, how are we going to pretend we are being censored and manipulated by a nebulous communist authority at the point of the 21st century where liberalism has openly turned to fascism across the entire Global North?
Idk, if I were some âred-fashâ dictator wannabe making a website, I wouldnât consider it a very good idea to make it open and federated to anyone who wants it no questions asked, and then letting the flagship instance federate with other instances that openly justify US-backed genocides and have included it in their rules that even implying sympathy towards genocided people will get you banned. Oh well, then you will pull some âwhataboutâ concern trolling involving the Uyghur people that you will literally not mention anywhere else other than to justify this pointless goal.
Iâm sorry my comment is not on topic. I donât care particularly about Framasoft other than respecting the work they do. No other comment in this thread, as of the time of writing, is on topic either, as yâall canât stop obsessing about this turf war.

Tankies thinking they own and dominate the fediverse isnât a âturf warâ
Itâs ideological incompatibility with the actual userbase.
Fuck .ml and their dictator worshipping troll farm behavior.
A lot of people would be interested in participating in the AmA, but .ml had to ruin their own instance, so now people donât want to use their space.
Tankies donât own or pretend to own the Fediverse. Yâall literally made up an ill-defined strawman group so that you can immediately dismiss anyone critical of liberal thought because you heard someone else say âChina good actuallyâ once.
The Fediverse itself is predicated on the idea of having social spaces on the Internet away from corporate control and the logics of capitalism. The userbase, which you are so dishonestly weaponizing here to make a false claim, is consequently filled to the brim with LGBT people, neurodivergent people, furries, and overall people who is at the very least not satisfied with the system. Itâs not at all surprising that a few of these platforms are developed by explicitly leftist groups. Marxism is just one of the lenses through which you can understand how corporate abuse permeates our lives at all levels.
This kind of hysteria about the .ml instance is entirely fabricated. Youâd be pressed to find this âdictator worshipping behaviorâ you are talking about, but that didnât prevent you from crying about .ml. You can find, however, people arguing that, for example, Russia existing keeps the US in check so it cannot spread its terror as effectively, but this is really far from worshipping Putin, despite how yâall like to pretend. Not that .ml has a particularly leftist userbase either; this kind of opinions are very common elsewhere, on Mastodon, or among non-English speakers, or God forbid, offline. Go ahead and provide that one transphobic DM by Nutomic if you want.
Yâall anti-tankie shitcriers ruined it for yourselves. Despite the Lemmy devs being professed marxist-leninists, they have kept the flagship instance widely federated and took a mostly permissive approach to moderation, only banning things such as blatant transphobia or genocide apologia (Despite how much yâall like to pretend that .ml users are genocide apologists!).
Iâd argue that the side attempting to dominate the fediverse is the minority that keeps trying to defederate one of the most populous instances, the main one no less, because of some nebulous claims about .ml users somehow all defending China or whatever dumb criteria you want to use to define âtankieâ at any given point.

Lol you must be new around here. The .ml people are certified tankies.
You absolutely know itâs not the communism that people have a problem with.
Itâs the authoritarianism, the dick sucking of dictators.
Thatâs why people differentiate between communists and tankies.
You and I often disagree. But not today. Well said.
Well I blocked lemmy.ml, so no AMA for me :S
You can just unblock it temporarily.
Or connect from an account in another instance (or directly from an account in .ml).
That is true, but I donât want to interact with the instance in any way.

Of course they would, theyâre hypocrites
Their issue isnât with the geographic location the server is hosted in
They are talking about the unreconcialable differences between authoritarianists and leftist
.ml excuses dictatorships and genocide for âthe causeâ, despite their cause being the continuation of fascist dictatorships.
