I’m personally not on lemmy.ml but they literally advertise what their ideology is. If I go to a meeting of socialists in my community, I am expected to be in agreement with, or at least tolerant of, socialist viewpoints. If you’re entering lemmy.ml you’re expected to tolerate ML viewpoints, obviously.
Yes but being federated with them means they can have their conversation in your space or overrun it, hence why op is saying it would be better to defederate
That’s why instances, communities, and users can be blocked and banned. If ‘their conversation’ is not allowed in ‘your space’ then do the thing and move on.
They do not, Hex and Grad, yes. This is the current homepage of lemmy.ml, nothing indicates them being a Tankie Instance supporting Authoritarian regimes and their misinformation:
The ML stands for Marxist-Leninist. I recall it being clarified better when I last visited several years ago. “What is Lemmy.ml?” is a link that expands on the instance as “niche” rather than mainstream.
And you’re absolutely free to use it that way if the registry that handles is OK with it, but you just can’t expect people to instantly realize that your .tf site is a Team Fortress related site based on just the TLD, because the .tf doesn’t officially have anything to do with TF2, that was my point.
It’s more popular for team fortress 2 than for the country its from. I don’t even remember what country its from without looking it up. If I recall its a nation in southern Africa?
Either way, its more used for the funny hat game than the nation itself.

My dude that is literally what this thread is about
‘Do the thing’ is using the tools a user has at their disposal to block other users. Communities can block and ban users too.
Defederation over moderation is not the thing I am suggesting. Especially not as part of a multiyear campaign perpetuating a bad-faith feedback loop.

ML stands for Mali, there’s no TLD for Marxism lol
And there’s no domain for Team Fortress 2, but lots of people use
