And unfortunately lemmy.ml is getting more online traffic recently.

    It’s not a good discussion when they ban you in the middle of it for saying NATO is a defensive alliance.

      I said worse things about USSR history and I still comment on political LM posts when I feel like putting effort, and don’t even care about the instance if the subject is neutral. Their users did appreciate deeper digs in what it really was if I could produce some insights. The only user\mod I had problems with is y-tos, and I choose not to touch anything they write at all.

        i feel like .ml is kind of hit or miss, some of the people on it are fine, some are just assholes, and some are just straight tankies. It’s a weird mix going on over there.

          That was the default Lemmy instance for a very long time, so I guess for pre-reddit exodus folks it wasn’t more of a choice than for lemmy.world users now.

      That is a shock? In my experience political and news communities are always biased and will remove anything that isn’t a part of the narrative. Some are worse than others but the desire to stop “misinformation” often leads to censorship.

      Its fair game because my comment got removed on lemmy.world for criticizing Israel.

        Oh wow, it’s not often that I find a comment that’s whataboutism and also a blatant lie. (I block every Hexbear account I see.)

        Edit: stay mad, tankies. MLs aren’t leftists.
