Can someone inform me about what's wrong with lemmy.ml?
The ml stands for Marxist-Leninist, and the admins are tankies
They are tankies
I am thinking about tanks, explain.
"Tankie" is a pejorative used against Marxists, though I've seen it even used against Anarchists these days.

All those poor tipped over bicycles 😢
Comrade Hakim made a great video explaining the origins of the term and exploring how it is used.

Might as well just link directly to the CIA homepage if you're going to use wikipedia as a reference for leftist politics and history
Lemmy.ml is the instance admin'd by the developers of Lemmy, who are Marxists. Lemmy.world is admin'd and moderated by liberals who generally are hostile towards Marxism, and have defederated from the 2 largest explicitly Marxist instances as a result.
Users generally prefer Lemmy.ml or Lemmy.world depending on their opinions on Marxism and Communism vs liberalism and Capitalism. We are on Lemmy.world right now, which is going to have far more people agreeing with OP than if this was posted on Lemmy.ml, where users hold the opposite opinion, that Lemmy.world is a problem (generally).
They do not support the Biden administrations genocide in Gaza.
Their users often argue for authoritarian regimes and deny genocides.
