I understand, but most of us are here from the efforts of all those who built Lemmy and it was deliberately left off here as an alternative

    Isn't that because people are canceling it for some reason? I haven't kept up with it enough to form an opinion, but I understand a lot of people want to ditch the project over something they don't like about the dev(s).

    The devs are Marxist-Leninists. They administrate the .ml instance with that in mind, and they will often ban or strictly moderate low effort anti-China content like depicting Xi as Winnie the Pooh (they see this as racist because yellow bear) and spam posts about Tienanmen Square. I've seen people claim they are pro-Russia, but most of what I've seen would fall under anti-NATO opinions than pro-Russia. I have never gotten the impression that Putin is popular in .ml, hexbear, or lemmygrad.

    But they really just stick to their instance and don't push their politics on the software's development.
