I prefer to see the patterns, I don't take it personally at all anymore. I'm a reddit veteran when they were 100x worse.

I don't engage with .ml

I just downvote everything from there and move on.

Welcome to a tutorial on how to block .ml on your personal account.

In the top right corner of the top of the page, there are 3 horizontal white bars. Click it.

This will open up a drop down menu. At the bottom of that menu, you will see your username. Click it.

This will open another drop down menu with 3 options. Click “Settings”.

At the top of your screen you will see 2 tabs. Click the one that says “Blocks”.

Here you will see “Block user” “Block community” and “Block instance”. Click the down arrow below “Block instance”.

This will open up a search bar. Type “lemmy.ml” and click it after it shows up. That’s it! You’ve blocked .ml and will never see content from the instance.

But wait, we aren’t done yet in this menu. Click the down arrow under “Block user”. Now type “UltraGiGaGigantic” Make sure you select my .ml account as the other ones I no longer use. Thanks, appreciate it.

I don't know if they are bots. But I would imagine Russia. Russia loves to have a weak US with Republicans in power and Trump subordinate to Putin, and one way to get that is to have people not vote for Democrats.

Interesting a .ml user who defends China multiple times in the first few comments in their history says this. Pikachu face!
