    Hi, I am from an instance no one ever seems to talk about and when reading these kinds of threads I am glad I made that choice. 😁

    To be fair to others less knowledgeable, I've seen first hand someone admitting they joined .ml because it was the first/largest server they learned about, not knowing it was a marxist-leninist joint, and they were asking how to transfer their account up on outta there. That was a fun thread lol

    My point is, just like we can't judge people based on their national origin, we shouldn't judge people from their home instance. But as a general rule, yeah .ml reeks lol

    I agree but think its also different depending on context.

    Like if someone has thousands of contributions and their account is 6 months + old. Hell yeah I can judge them on the instance they use. Because they have had plenty of time and opportunity to learn and change.

    A new user on the otherhand. I won’t.

    I myself have both a defunct world and ML account from a long time ago when I first joined the threadiverse.

    I recently read an interesting comment about .ml that I think is worth sharing: https://lemmy.ml/post/42725005/23793647

    As nice as those anticommercial ideals are, I generally just see shills that enjoy downplaying Russia's invasion and justifying Iran's mass-murdering of protesters out of .ml. Some really, really bizarre cyberstalking weirdos too.

    Might be survivorship bias because only the assholes get noticed, but .ml has a pretty shitty reputation because of them.
