    This is the twelfth cm0002 account that I’m blocking. They don’t just repost stuff from ml (this has been posted to at least 5 communities on various instances), and they have dozens of accounts that they switch between to evade user blocks. They think that you must see their effortless reposts, and that otherwise you should block their dozens of accounts. They’re entitled and spammy.

      Im not evading user blocks, I provide a listing that’s available in my bio. I have told you this and others have as well and you have flat out stated you refuse to take advantage of what tools have been given to you for “reasons”. Additionally, your story about me changes every time someone counters your arguments.

      Also, I crosspost 1-1 .ml comm to non-.ml comm, any other crossposts are by others and in this specific case, it looks like because others felt this post applied to multiple comms at once. It’s a common thing, even on Reddit. (ETA: Actually, what’s even funnier, is that when I made my crosspost it only existed on the .ml comm, all the others came within the last few hours after I made mine 14 hours ago. So you basically went through the crosspost list to find mine to make your complaint LMAO)

      Actual reasons for multiple accounts:

      1. Promoting smaller instances, because of the volume of my posting it helps makes smaller instances more recognizable
      2. Making comms on fitting smaller instances (e.g. a programming comm id make on programming.dev)
      3. Mitigating against the imposter problem
      4. Better interconnecting smaller instances

      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.

      Megathread on the issue

      Some highlights from the link:

      .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.
