I’ve heard people talking about e.g. not subscribing to lemmy.world communities (because they are the largest instance), and others like Lemmygrad seems to be defederated by quite many instances. But what about lemmy.ml? Should that instance and those communities also be avoided? The “issue” is that many large communities seem to be based on that instance. Like [email protected] and [email protected]

    my gauge is simple: do my actual communist friends who know what the USSR was like from firsthand experience agree with them? if yes, that’s a good commie. if not, they’re probably from .ml

      I’ve no doubt there are some genuine commies on .ml. The problem is that it’s the other people who are running the instance and moderating the communities.
