I for one have stopped posting any content to lemmy.ml communities.
I wish I could. But as a mod, it very much helps to leave all people and instances/communities unblocked.

your "boycott" was already happening naturally because (ayk) lemmy.ml's mods are insufferable

Something about .ml and MLs in general is that they really just aren't that large a group. If we want larger communities, Reddit is still much bigger than Lemmy. If we want a flawed ally in politics, progressive liberals outnumber Leninists and are far less likely to deliberately betray us. (That's why MLs always equate Liberalism with fascism; if people can ally with Liberals MLs have basically nothing they can bring to a coalition, and so they can't seize power.)
Famously loyal and trustworthy liberals will never deliberately betray you lmao. Just hope they never find out if you have to break a law the fascists draw up to protect yourself or others 🚔🚔🚔
And hope that you're not part of whichever group they're throwing under the bus to appease the fascists either.

I criticized the CCP on lemmy.ml and got called racist and got banned lmao
Edit: thank you for the link, Lazycog@sopuli.xyz!

I stand by every single comment that's been removed from this platform. Some of them were removed for good reason, one of them was a brain fart that I shouldn't have posted in the first place, but I'm happy to have y'all investigate my moderation history
ETA: If you read this, and then replied to a comment that's already been removed from a community I'm banned from, you're an idiot. I literally can't interact with you. Why not reply to this comment?
China pretending to be egalitarian is like Maga pretending to be pro-freedom.
I've been called a racist, a homophobe (???) and worst of all a liberal and a fascist (same thing apparently /s) all because I insisted that China isn't worth simping for.
What I hate most about tankies is that they are the only true leftists and anybody who disagrees with them is just a poser and a liberal. Especially anarchists.

Typical conservative sjw user /s
Banned starman2112 @sh.itjust.works from the community 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone reason: Weirdo who defends genocide, because only young people are aginast it
Thanks for the link and the laugh! 😂
It's amusing to see the average user criticizing .ml while ignoring the bad behavior of others. LMAO!
Weirdo, why im not surprised at all 😂

I boycotted them months back. I came to lemmy to get away from reddit mods.
Yes, Lemmy was famously founded to get away from moderation.
😂
This comment would get you banned in some places
I only follow some .ml communities for the only thing that instance is good for: Memes making fun of neoliberals
I go there to encounter communists and discuss communism with them. I don’t mind talking to people I disagree with, and until they kick me out I’ll keep going there to talk to them.
Good for you. I wish more people would talk to people they don’t immediately share values with.

Too bad anyone who doesn't adhere to their specific definition of imperialism is a neoliberal in their view.
Don't want to support a right winged authoritarian government that is actively engaging in imperialism......? What a lib.

Here's a list of a few .ml communities and potential replacements:
| in .ml | alternative |
|---|---|
| asklemmy | !asklemmy@lemm.ee, !asklemmy@sh.itjust.works |
| linux | !linuxquestions@lemmy.zip, !linux@linux.community, !linux@programming.dev |
| memes | !memes@sopuli.xyz, !memes@slrpnk.net |
| programmerhumor | !programmer_humor@programming.dev |
| world news | !news@beehaw.org |
| technology | !technology@sh.itjust.works |
| funny | !funny@sh.itjust.works |
| ukraine | !ukraine@sopuli.xyz |
Side note the main issue with .ml is transparency. It's fine if the admins of an instance implement whatever rules they want in their instance; however, once they start enforcing hidden rules disguised as violations of the listed rules, they're being liars and treating the users as stupid things to be herded, not as human beings.
EDIT: as people noticed I'm not including .world comms to not encourage even further concentration of activity into the largest instance. Decentralisation is important. Also I'm adding stuff that you guys suggest.
I had the audacity to say that the deaths of Tiannanmen's Square were inexcusable, no matter who started the violence, and my comment was removed under instance rule 1 (bigotry).. like wat 😂
Ah, typical lemmy.ml . They have a hard time understanding that you can support a certain ideology without necessarily turning a blind eye to everything that people claim to be doing for the sake of said ideology, or that any criticism against their actions is automatically false.
I remember you, by the way. You were already an old Lemmy user when I joined in, 3y ago!

memes:
- !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone is the single best meme community on lemmy, imho
- !memes@midwest.social,
and for more specialized memes:
- !science_memes@mander.xyz,
- !reactionmemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com,
- !mathmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone,
- !loweffortmemes@walledgarden.xyz,
- !lotrmemes@midwest.social,
- !leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com,
- !flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com,
- !femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone,
- !fedimemes@feddit.uk
world news: I realize you're avoiding lemmy.world to promote decentralization which is why you're listing !news@beehaw.org, but note that beehaw defederated itself from lemmy.world and from several others?
