Is lemmy.ml just a tankie recruitment zone? (lemmy.ml)

The shear amount of tankiness over on lemmy.ml is making me seriously consider leaving the platform.

tfw kbin doesn't block any instances and just watching the drama of different instances block each other 🍿

doesn’t Kbin.social block lemmygrad?

I haven’t really cared to check, but I thought it was the only thing it’s defederated from.

Nope. See here. clear lemmygrad magazine and we can see and interact just fine. I've also seen lemmygrad users comment here and there. Their stuff doesn't pop up often for me, but it's clear we're federated.

Edit: here's the lemmygrad feed you can see that it has stuff from lemmygrad users a mere 10 hours ago. and afaik neither way defederated since then.

Edit 2: this lemmygrad comment was left just 4 hours ago. so again recent.

Hello fellow kbinner... kbinnite... kbinmate... what's the word we're calling each other again? Anyway, I feel the same way.
One of the main reasons why I didn't choose lemmy was explicitly because the kind of red authoritarian crowd they seemed to attract. Sure, there's gonna be people like that on kbin as well, but so far it's been pretty decent from my point of view.
Ngl, the drama is pretty nice when you're not involved in it 🍿

kbinmate is funny. the two I've been seeing people use are kbinauts and kbeans. I prefer kbinaut. My decision to join kbin was actually based on the ui; I'm not exactly a fan of the way lemmy is set up. but the weird mod situation over at lemmy.ml also kinda pushed me to kbin.

kbinger? kbinotreddit?

I actually started on the lemmy side of things but the politics and drama on beehaw and lemmy.ml just drove me away. It was also crazy to me the devs of lemmy.ml were openly denying genocide and other atrocities (and it some instances almost cheering for that stuff) but beehaw refused to defederate with them. And then what would you know, beehaw defederates from.. wait what? lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?? confused_will_smith.jpg

anyways, the drama and politics are stupid and will drive away new users from joining. the main dev at kbin has been very proactive at answering bug and feature request tickets. Me and some others set up some new kbin instances to help share the load and a few of us devs are hoping to help out ernest with the dev work he has for kbin
