If you’re wondering why I’m crossposting .ml content or for an account listing of accounts used for it, please see the bottom of this megathread

Well, that’s a new one, I don’t really consider titles OC unless you put in some sort of personal story or something like say of your title was “This is so my [child]!”, then I change it to something generic
Sorry if it made you sick, however, it does serve as a decent demonstration that despite being “bigger” by subscriber count the actual activity of the “big” ml comm is MUCH lower. This comm doesn’t even have a third of the subscriber count, but most crossposts here average better engagement than .ml
Btw, I saw your other comment, there’s !fdroid@lemdro.id and !rant@lemmy.sdf.org and www.lemmyverse.net is a great resource for comm discovery
They’re crossposted and you can’t steal memes anyways.
I do tag peoples usernames when it’s OC, this however is not OC

Lemmy ml is under heavy boycott and I run an effort to crosspost all good content from them to the closest relevant comm, see the spoiler for more
Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
Dessalines, head .ml admin, lead Lemmy dev actively spreading genocide denialism https://sh.itjust.works/post/61371958
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

Yea, this is the reason I held my tongue when the company CEO who laid me off last year (Who I worked directly under) posted something about investing in the people who further their goals. Because I had a bunch of very snarky I could have clapped back with, but I decided to not burn the bridge
That’s actually somewhat plausible, I saw a vid earlier today from some one talking about how their work coding AI agent noticed that their NPM was set to only update package dependencies 7 days after release because ya know best security practices and all that
It “helpfully” set it to 0 because they would miss top features otherwise LMAO
Lol it’s even weirder/funnier when you make a meme and find it on an entirely different platform weeks or months later
I never considered it would be a technique issue.
