    Silly question about trying to get away from lemmy.ml

    Why?

    I’m not familiar with much drama between instances.

    One of the many accounts I have is over there, though I don’t use it often.

      says not to ask why

      asks why

      But it’s probably because the admins of lemmy.ml are Marxist-Leninists who also run Lemmygrad, an ML instance. They mostly keep their ML stuff to Lemmygrad, but there’s been some controversy about banning people with anti-China views from lemmy.ml

      Could be some other reason but that’s the main reason people avoid lemmy.ml that I know of.

        Ah gotcha, I avoid Lemmygrad due to the politics of it (I’m a lefty who really doesn’t like tankies)

        So that all makes sense to me

        Yeah, I was pretty tired and somehow didn’t read the “don’t ask why” part.

    There’s a bug that is causing some sites to be blocked after they go down. I’ll have a poke around in the database and see if that’s what’s happening here
