Doesn’t the ML literally stand for Marxist Lenninist? Or am I finding meaning where there is none?
It may in context stand for Marxist Leninist. I don’t know. I myself am not a Marxist Leninist nor am I a fan of how Lemmy.ml is run.
I don’t see any defederation from left-wing instances. I do see defederation from pro-authoritarian instances.
For me? Yes. But this is the fediverse. We all choose our instances based on the rules therein. If I wanted a space that was federated with them I would move to such an instance.
