Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ?

If the conversation is civil I’ll comment occasionally, but i don’t think I’d care if my instance defederated from then. They’re where a lot of tech related conversations are, sadly.

Tbh the bigger instances need to bite the bullet and defederate from .ml. There are alternatives to all the good comms on .ml, they just aren’t as active. Defederating would move a lot of users onto the alternatives and get some control back from the terrible .ml mods and admins.
Banning people from multiple completely unrelated comms for something that happened in one comm is bullshit and they abuse the hell out of that. I refuse to participate in any .ml comm because of that.

But a lot of users on a lot of instances do not want to defederate, and thereby lose their communities that they want to receive content from, e.g. Firefox@lemmy.ml. First such communities need to be migrated, or at least new alternatives made, and then the barrier to walking away will be lower. Progress is being made though, even if only slowly:-).
