I mentioned l [email protected] already
The alternatives are there, most of the people just don't seem to care enough to leave the .ml ones
Are they? I see 2.6k monthly active users for [email protected], which is definitely lower than top 50, seems more like 80 or 90, or even past 100 (currently on my phone, can't really count accurately, and Lemmyverse doesn't have row numbers)
I do use all the ML alternatives, but engagement is notably lower. I almost wish LW would just bite the bullet and defederate from ML.
Yeah, maybe more like top 100 for hexbear. I am on mobile too.
I get the feeling that even if you got what you wanted, you would still complain about .ml
Right now, you could block .ml personally. Have you blocked .ml?
Blocking ML doesn’t block the users
I have not, no. There are still some technology communities that are only present on ML. Outside of those, I do not interact with ML.
And what's with your prima donna attitude? What exactly is the problem with calling out an instance run by genocide white-washing tankie scum?
Yes, I guess for tech people the political stances are irrelevant, they just want the most active communities
Having access to the devs via [email protected] and [email protected] is probably why
I really don't understand why they won't, they did it with lemmygrad and hexbear but with .ml they wanna take this kid glove approach. The best theory I got is they don't want to because of the more active communities on there ig
Having access to the devs via [email protected] and [email protected] is probably why
Everyone should defederate from that toxic shithole. It serves no purpose that isn’t duplicated elsewhere only without the heavy-handed admin/mod team.
