This is the kind of content the .ml admins cultivate through their bans and censorship. They’ll frequently remove articles from credible good sources that directly go against their narratives, while allowing misinformation and conspiracy websites to include RT, Sputnik and (as shown) random substack blogs as long as they tow the narratives that align with them.

E.g. Ukraine is a Nazi regime and Russia is just “liberating” the Ukrainian people

    I think whatever shadow instance lemvotes uses either doesn’t federate with .ml or .ml blocked it (I can’t imagine why they’d do that though!/s lmao)

      I suspected that may be the case, but I am still able to look up .ml users and see their individual votes. Wouldn’t defederating from the lemvotes instance block that too?

        Just checked a .ml user profile I know to be prolific, the last votes it had were from April 29, so that’s probably when they got blocked and it’s just a cached version

        If you know of a new .ml user that was made after then and it doesn’t pull up with them, then that’s def what happened

          Well it certainly doesn’t always work, so I quit bothering. Interesting enough when I did bother, every DV was from this instance.

        Probably most admins prefer not to facilitate petty lemming drama threads like this one.
