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
Join the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance!
And consider donating to individual instances instead
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
Ah, that would make sense. Thanks!
Same reason .world did probably
Nope, man you just love to spread false narratives don’t you?
Here’s @[email protected] votes for the comment just above. A .world account.
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.
Yet here we are. 🙃
