Now what's the juicy backstory to this drama?
ive noticed several communities being moved off of .ml because of overacting mods shitting their own beds (my fav movies comm being one of them). kinda the whole point of the 'verse. i also noticed a recent sync in-congruence from .ml to .world which indicates some kind of funny business... purposeful or not
the locals at .ml seem to have this notion that theyre too big to fail, which is patently not true considering the tiny size of the fediverse overall.
id recommend users utilize a 'home' instance thats more of an onramp than local-content curation... (https://moist.catsweat.com being in this category) they tend to not defederate from any instances so users can easily switch subscriptions when shit goes sideways in the content-heavy servers without making new accounts.

The way I see it if they get defederated a lot of the people will migrate away from it and it won't be "too big to fail" anymore

We need to grow the !linuxphones@lemmy.ca alternative more!
TIL. Thanks.
That was one of the few .ml communities I actually missed when I defederated from them last year and couldn't find a replacement for. Subscribed!
