And you’re missing the point of my point.

If people who don’t already know how lemmy is run, are curious and read that shit and think the owner/operator of lemmy is a huge douchebag tankie that deletes/bans everything he doesn’t like… it bodes poorly for new people coming to lemmy.

So therefore- the rest of us are guilty as a result of association with the aforementioned douchebag.

Not at all, just filter out .ml. Problem fixed!

Yep. And note how the other mods/admins are almost always found commenting alongside them.

Everyone should defederate from that toxic shithole. It serves no purpose that isn’t duplicated elsewhere only without the heavy-handed admin/mod team.

Too bad for all of us that it is though.

Yeah, but it’s guilt by association. Think about how X is now. Its owner is an asshole, and that hurts the platform regardless of how many cool people use it.

Makes sense to me.
