This is what the admins of .ml cultivate, as documented in the megathread

Credible sources removed just within the last day: https://lemmy.world/post/32298242 https://lemmy.world/post/32426343

.ml is not much different than the rest of the Triad, continued federation with them is continuing to allow them to spread toxic misinformation and behavior across the Threadiverse.

If you’re an instance admin, please consider defederation.

Users, consider joining the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance.

Other wonderful content, and this is just from when I looked at the local new feed a bit ago:

Classic RT I’m sure you all know and Pravda.ru “Pravda Report”

    PLEASE defederate from the tankies. They should have to suffer through engaging with the real world if they want to engage with all of Lemmy, and not have a whole damn instance astroturfing their propaganda to everyone else.

    Yes, it is that bad. They literally ban and block anyone who says Russia/China bad, even for wholly valid and factual reasons.

      Defeferate from the rabid zionist neolibs first. Theyre just as bad and shit is overcentralized on their .world server, so yhry can use it as a shield.

      Edit: and now that public opinion is seriously turning on both things, theyre trying to get people to defed the next largest server. Correct me if im wrong about size rankings.

      Actually that last paragraph isn’t wholly true. I did so and they followed me around to harass me.

          .world does it too, try opposing zionism or blue-maga bullshit. Indistinguishable reaction from going to a tankie server then posting a video of yourself at lenin’s grave with a shovel and a strap on.

            It’s hard to tell as a user. You need to ask someone with direct access to a federated lemmy db to look it up for you. they can see who upvoted and who downvoted who with a custom query.

            I do not have direct access to a federated lemmy DB at the mo

        lmao, that sounds fun!

        Russia and China fucking suck! Come get me, keyboard slaves! Pooh-bear demands it!

        Remember, if it ain’t Ukrainian, it ain’t vodka.

            In the absence of a true rightwing core to lemmy, we just made our own enemies. My faith in humanity remains rock-bottom.

              A lot of this push started at about the same time a day or two ago. Suspicious timing; start of the work week

              Right after zionist genocide and bluemaga started taking serious PR hits to the point that .world’s overcentralization isn’t shielding those vile fucking positions anymore.

              What changed or what unusually shitty thing did .ml do in the past week? Im not sure this is about .ml’s behavior; i think they’re just the next largest instance and differently aligned.

        See a lot of .world users saying this. You realize your dog shit server is worse, right? And more rabid about the genocide?

        Edit: and now that people are starting to turn on zionism and bluemaga, your server is pushing others to defed the next largest server. You may not be a conscious conspirator, but take a closer look. A lot of this push started at the same time.
