At some point I have to start wondering if Putin pays these sorts of people.

    But what you also have to consider, migrating instances sends a signal. Its the same as people who stopped using twitter because of musk. When you continue using something you make it look like you font really care, so migrating your account is a good way to tell the admins that you dislike their policies.

      While you’re totally right regarding twitter, i can’t say the same for those instances. I’m not deep enough in the matter to allow myself an opinion. I just don’t know about any politics about any instance. If there is, you’re totally right then too. Leaving is the best bet. If I’d knew my instance would wanna push a certain narrative, even if it’d be congruent with mine, I’d leave.

        The Main Problem is, that the Admins are straight up tankies. They also have no problems banning you from all the communitys they moderate if you say something they don’t like

          I just have to take your word for it, because I don’t follow the meta-politics on Lemmy. I’m just a user :)

            If you’re interested in it you can take a quick roundtrip about this community and you will see quite some examples of the Lemmy.ml Admins being tankies.

            You should peruse their modlog a bit and see how many people are banned for it, instead of just taking their word for it. That’s the benefit of Lemmy or other platforms, modlog is public.
