    I’m a .ml because it was the second most popular instance when I joined, and I refuse to be bullied by other people tribalism to change to a different instance.

    (Although that /s… if you tried to joke with me, then I’m sorry, I was/am too tired to understand it)

      It’s not that we think that everyone on a .ml instance is a bad person it’s just that if you don’t watch your back you end up talking to a bunch of people who think that mass murder and war crimes and acceptable as long as their friends are the ones doing it. And they are unfortunately also on .ml and to tar everyone with the same brush.

      It’s why a lot of instances are defederating which sucks for you of course because none of it is your fault.

      Honestly I’ve found the effects are more personal. I like interacting with the sh mods more; they’re a good combo of decent morals but also playful irreverence. They don’t get on me for honest jokes, but they’re also very willing to be like nah buddy it’s time to log off for a few days when they need to. (Hubs prefers the Twitter format if anybody knows a masto instance with similar vibes)
