Right, so I chose lemmy.ml in June 2023 right at the start of the exodus from Reddit as it appeared to be a “sensible default” at that point. I’m not even sure that lemmy.world was around at that point, it certainly did not appear to be the “sensible default” it appears to have turned into.
I’m not using the instance as any kind of political statement, this is just the account I use to interact with Lemmy as a network. I could certainly move off the instance, but I’ve found that filtering out some content makes the instance mostly usable for my purposes.
Feel free to check my post history as to whether I’m auth left or not, I’m certain you’ll find that I’m not. Leaning more and more left as the days pass, to be sure, but with no love for authoritarianism.
Also iirc lemmy.ml doesn’t require an email address which is another plus. My account was also with ml initially. The only disadvantage of lemmy.ml is that if you go to all or local you’ll see all of that tankie BS.
“Lemmy.ml is fine” says lemmy.ml user, more at 11.
