Think of .ml as a Russian-run communist version of Reddit where the moderation is exponentially more strict and what you’re allowed to talk about is determined by those that run the instance.
Essentially it’s a near perfect example of what it would be like if North Korea and Russia united into one giant shithole of a political ideology, and then yarfed up its propaganda into one self-contained social media site.
There is no one “Lemmy”. Different people host different copies that sync with each other, but they all have their own moderators. Lemmy.ml is run by “davel” so just do a web search for “davel mod” to learn about the reputation they’ve earned.
Lemmygrad.ml and Lemmy.ml. There’s also Hexbear.
I’d advise avoiding those instances. Block them if you can.
Im still new to lemmy and unsure how the whole thing works, I’m redditbrained.
