if your community becomes more toxic when people leave it because other communities call it toxic…maybe its actually toxic.
IMO if I was running an instance it would have already defederated from ml instances.

Sure, whatever. That’s what happened on X. The normal people are leaving and the Nazis are stuck in their hate bubble with no normal people to talk to. Let’s do that.

I’m not even a .ml user and posts like these are pushing me to switch to their instance lol.

The communism is a facade for their propaganda, and it also bolsters extremist discourse. Win-win for them.
