    .ml only has 600 users per day. It’s a non issue.

    World is emptying because 95% of users don’t actually interact in the first place. No platform will succeed when you only have a few users actually creating content.

      .world is emptying because people are leaving for instances that don’t openly support .ml and that have them blocked.

      I see these people all the time saying as much.

        Like where? I looked at the top instances, and all except lemmy.zip show a similar drop in MAU. And lemmy.zip hasn’t blocked lemmy.ml.

          I’m talking about people that are actually leaving and stating why. .world’s inability to grow a pair and defederate from that shithole is hurting them, not helping them. But then again, many of the communities welcome propaganda with open arms.

            You said:

            What instance actually blocks ML? Even if not as an instance defederation and rather as a user-level instance block applied by default (which PieFed offers the capability to do). I am aware of no major instances that do so at this time, but if one existed then I would love to know that!?

        .world doesn’t openly support .ml. They’ve defederated from the other big tankie instances.

        But they’re literally the creators and active developers of Lemmy. Remaining federated allows them to have updates on time. It’s extremely easy to block entire instances too. Just go to your settings and block .ml.

          I too federate with .ml, but you don’t need to be to get timely updates. That would be a terrible distribution architecture.

          They absolutely do. They helped advertise to get people to donate money to .ml

          And I have that shithole blocked. But that’s not the point here. The point is that people are bailing on an instance that is too chickenshit to defederate from a known psyop propaganda spreading instance.
