Doesn't mean all .ml users are like that.
What happens here is an attack on a wide group based on a very arbitrary characteristic.
It's not that we're judging all .ml users. It's just that any .ml user can be a potential tankie who will defend Putin to his grave, like the admins and mods.
This is reflected in the content on the instance, and what sort of things you're allowed to post there. Which does influence people using said instance, even if very slightly, and unnoticeably.
I don't actually agree with the meme, but the humour stems from the fact that it could be true insofar that it's pretty often that you'll find shameless tankies wanting to suck Putler off and destroy "western imperialists".
So I do take comments at their own value, no matter the instance you're from. But lemmy.ml is almost as shit as lemmygrad.ml
It's not arbitrary, it's a picked identity which shares some common features.
