They are not as extreme, but you cannot realistically have a civilized discussion on their servers. Unfortunately they are much more established with several big communities which are hesitant to move to more reasonable servers so while hexbear was an easy insta-ban for me and most other Lemmy users, we're stuck individually blocking ml users for now.

But hopefully because of the idiotic choice of the ml domain, they will eventually go the way of hexbear.

Wasn't the whole .ml domain an issue way back during the reddit migration too, cause its the domain for Mali? I remember it being an issue when I came over to Lemmy, which was back during that migration. When Reddit locked down its api and a bunch of redditors (me included) did a "blackout" to protest.

Yes it was. That's exactly what I was referring to.

How come nothing came of that?
