This is what the admins of .ml cultivate, as documented in the megathread
Credible sources removed just within the last day: https://lemmy.world/post/32298242 https://lemmy.world/post/32426343
.ml is not much different than the rest of the Triad, continued federation with them is continuing to allow them to spread toxic misinformation and behavior across the Threadiverse.
If you’re an instance admin, please consider defederation.
Users, consider joining 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.
Other wonderful content, and this is just from when I looked at the local new feed a bit ago:
Classic RT I’m sure you all know and Pravda.ru “Pravda Report”
I sort by new and there are not a whole lot of posts on lemmy every day, but if this is bothering you that much I would recommend blocking the instance. The posts you are showing of this user aren’t even popular and get heavily downvoted.
Instance blocks are nothing more than a comm mute, even if it worked as one would expect, it does nothing to stop them from spreading their toxic misinformation and propaganda to unknowing new users.
And downvoting to oblivion is not something to be relied upon, IME only obvious ones get downvoted like RT or ones with headlines like “UKRAINE WILL FAIL SOON SUPERIOR RUSSIA…”
Subtler disinformation, from lesser known sources, can still end up with positive upvotes and is just as dangerous
Piefed has actual instance blocking, you might want to give it a try https://piefed.social/
A voice of reason drowned out by a red scare.
Here we cherry pick unpopular posts and gripe about pro-west news censored. But I think it would be also fun to cherry pick some pro genocide from world, posts that are unpopular too, and gripe about how Chinese news is censored.
Double the fun! Yes?
