    Real. I joined it cuz it said it was FOSS focused and run by the creators of Lemmy which I thought was neat. Did not realize it was a tankie cesspool. I’m now banned from a good portion of it for “Nazi apologia” because I said calling the Ukraine Nazis was Russian propaganda

      Just jump instances. I might have my reservations about how the aversion to monetization means a lot instances are unstable or slow with no real incentives or even funding to improve it but there’s certainly something to be said for decentralization.

          Some people reckon we’re a Nazi instance… shrug emoji.

          I’m not sure why - but have read it a few times. If someone in the know could clue me in if there is actually some back lore to the claim I’d appreciate that.

        When I first joined Lemmy 3.5 years ago I almost joined .ml because it was the dev’s instance. I’m glad I chose .ee instead.

      I have a confession:

      When I joined, I thought ML was for Machine Learning.

          I mean, it is. But it’s one of the TLDs that allows wider use.

          Only a few national TLDs require being related to the country, or at least being located in the country.
