gylotipHow did Lemmy.world become more popular than Lemmy.ml?
Lemmy.ml is run by tankies who brook no criticism of Russia for its conduct of the war in Ukraine. I was on there, saw posts about the war being deleted and users who raise even pointed criticism at the mods/admins for their Russophilia get banned.
Fun fact: those tankies are also the developers of Lemmy overall… sigh
To the developers’ credit, it’s not like they actively promote their own views on the war and Russia openly. But they don’t want others to discuss the war on their instance and have moderated such discussions with a heavy hand.
I mean... forbidding any discussion of unpopular actions taken by Russia is pretty much an example of promoting their own views.
Yep agreed.
