I might get hate because of my instance here, but in an attempt to better understand Lemmy I’m wondering if some of you can shed a light on why you chose this instance, what’s great about it, what could be better, is the instance rivalries something that affects your use of the platform or is it just background noise?

I’m not trying to start a fight or mud slinging, it would be good if several people could say their piece and nobody shame or attack them for it no matter how much you disagree.

.ml is a leftist instance focussed on non-Western POV conversations. Mostly on the victims of Western imperialism.

Elsewhere on the internet it's flooded with annoying people who believe their Western, primarily US based views should represent the entire world and will constantly tell you to adopt their political strategy which has seen tremendous succes over the past century (/s).

The US 'leftist's favorite pastime is condensendingly yell at people to stop criticizing their favorite Democrat politician so they get healthcare at the cost of genociding Brown Untermenschen which they don't care about because they're Americans and anyone outside of the USA may be sacraficed.

They throw a large tantrum when confronted with the fact people outside of the West or those in the West now have internet access, or when there are people agreeing with them.

Here on .ml you can have anti imperialist conversations without being constantly yelled at by people who cannot fathom the world moving on from US imperialism in a different way than by voting Democrat harder.

Love they did not reply to you're reasonable comment as they're attacking you while others questioning their terrible ideology elsewhere
