In an attempt to better understand Lemmy I’m wondering if some of you can shed a light on what the deal is between.ml and .world. The history, any significant event or a betrayal, how did we all run away from spez only to come here and throw mud at each other?

I’m sure it confuses a great deal of Reddit refugees who just signed up with the largest instance because of (in my case future proofing) reasons.

I’m wondering how this historic feud came to be and how I can be called a “Zionist” just because of my instance, and they are called “fascists” even though I’ve come across some pretty levelheaded people from that instance too.

Please, keep it civil!

I’m not trying to start a fight or mud slinging, it would be good if several people could say their piece and nobody shame or attack them for it no matter how much you disagree.

Thanks

There is no ‘deal’

There are some extremely active and vocal users on .ml that have a specific view point that they feel is extremely important.

You will see that viewpoint expressed not just on political posts, but in the comments of seemingly unrelated topics.

It seems that .ml was defederated from world to keep some separation of that view point and other topics.

You are still fully free to join any instance you want. You can even find community here to post that content if you wish, but there is a more active and vibrant community on .ml for that content.

    .ml is still federated with .world

    are you thinking of hexbear.net or lemmygrad.ml ?
