Your account seems new @[email protected], sorry you had to deal with this but this is what happens on the tankie instance that is .ml
Join the .ml boycott today! No posts, comments or upvotes on any .ml comms!
Originally, .ml was the flagship instance for a fledgeling new software project, and the devs had to try and keep the mask on as much as they could for it to be a general purpose main instance. But over time that mask slipped, and users fled to other instances. Which means the only users left on .ml today are the fellow tankies. And knowing that, now they don’t seem to try to hide it anymore.
And the fact that it’s run by the devs is a serious detriment. New users are going to take one look at it, and think Lemmy is tankie central. And the sane ones are going to leave.
This is part of why I chose a Mbin instance over Lemmy. It’s hard for me to even recommend Lemmy the software because of its devs.
I wish that they were API-compatible so that the same clients could be used, which is the big weakness of the non-Lemmy Threadiverse servers.
Yeah, I don’t recommend Lemmy for largely that reason. But I’ll use it while decent instances exist.

It’s another link aggregator/forum software that uses the same ActivityPub protocol as Lemmy, Mastodon, PixelFed, Peertube, etc. Meaning that Mbin instances can talk to Lemmy, as well as any other Fediverse software.
Mbin forked off of the earlier Kbin when the original developer kinda went MIA.

The annoying thing is there definitely are a subset of ML users who aren’t tankies. And just kind of obliviously joined that instance because it was recommended to them.
My first lemmy account was on ML.
