This all is cool, but I’m sad the biggest instance by far is admined by tankies. Like this guy gets quickly banned for posting articles about North Korea and Russia in the world news community.

I really don’t see this popping off if new instances aren’t willing to block the “main” instance.

The admin could block it, but it seems already too popular to block given no one else has blocked it yet and most users are on it.

I’d rather reject all genocidal maniacs instead of acting like I need to prefer one over the other for practicality.

dessalines AKA parentis_shotgun on reddit was banned by the r/socialism mod team for posting fascist LaRouchite propaganda and then praising the reactionary author, who is also a climate change denier who writes conspiracy theory books about the “NWO”. He demanded to be unbanned but then made things even worse in their modmail by saying “putting Uyghurs in concentration camps aint cultural genocide because they’re extremists”, among other awful things. He refused to apologize for using fascist literature to condemn Uyghurs, and instead kept defending it, so they aint unbanning him.

That’s the admin of the main instance. Advocating genocide.

Idk why anyone would use the main instance and choose to be admined by pro-CCP tankies

The biggest communities are still local to lemmy.ml though (for now)

Still 7 of top 10 are lemmy.ml… but yeah, glad to see beehaw growing! When I tried to sign up there it never worked :<

And monetize it to such a degree that it won’t make as much money as if it were cheaper and used more

Does each lemmy server need to constantly pull and store all activity from all other instances? That’d be the huge difference here, but I’m not sure how the linking works exactly. Imagine your tiny email server having to sync with all activity on gmail…

Not in response, the linked post is a month old
