Glad you’re liking it so far, welcome!

Just a word of warning, however. The instance you’re on is rabidly authoritarian communist and they have to proselytize, if you say anything bad about China or Russia (and to a lesser extent, Iran, North Korea, really anyone who doesn’t like “The West™ блять”) you’ll likely be banned. If that happens, try any other instance other than lemmygrad or hexbear which are more of the same but worse, all the rest (like db0, .ca, .ee, .world, etc) are cool.

I warn you, because sometimes it ends up taking people by surprise who thought they were joining a general instance not a “marxist-leninist” instance (especially now that they pretend that isn’t why they chose .ml, 3 years ago they admitted it but now they downplay it to fool the newcomers.) Sometimes it turns people off the fediverse entirely (because y’know, murderous idiots aren’t great company) but I just wanted to say that while you’d still have to deal with those people due to federation the mods on other instances don’t have their back and you won’t be banned from say .world for saying the Chinese government is a problem. Finally I’d like to add that there are instances which don’t federate with the worst two, hexbear and lemmygrad, but not many that don’t federate with .ml.
