Well, that's a new one, I don't really consider titles OC unless you put in some sort of personal story or something like say of your title was "This is so my [child]!", then I change it to something generic

Sorry if it made you sick, however, it does serve as a decent demonstration that despite being "bigger" by subscriber count the actual activity of the "big" ml comm is MUCH lower. This comm doesn't even have a third of the subscriber count, but most crossposts here average better engagement than .ml

Btw, I saw your other comment, there's !fdroid@lemdro.id and !rant@lemmy.sdf.org and www.lemmyverse.net is a great resource for comm discovery

some kind of paranoia about always needing to register new accounts.

I mean, you're not entirely wrong, the multiple accounts is for a few different reasons, but one of them is defense against impersonation accounts which has happened to me lol

But the main reasons for the many instance accounts are kinda unrelated to the ml crossposting kinda are, they are

  1. Promoting smaller instances, because of the volume of my posting it helps makes smaller instances more recognizable
  2. Making comms on fitting smaller instances (e.g. a programming comm id make on programming.dev)
  3. Mitigating against the imposter problem
  4. Better interconnecting smaller instances

Have you ever put the context thing in your copied posts?

I've thought about it, but ultimately decided against it, I felt it would make the thread in whatever comm I'm posting it in too off-topic. So instead i just comment it whenever it's inquired about

They're crossposted and you can't steal memes anyways.

I do tag peoples usernames when it's OC, this however is not OC

Uganda’s largest non-state media group under military siege (breakthroughnews.org)
 

Uganda’s military continues to lay siege on the country’s largest non-state newspaper, one of the largest private news broadcasters, alongside other channels and radio stations owned by Nation Media Group (NMG), the largest media conglomerate in East and Central Africa.

Troops raided its Ugandan headquarters and the broadcasting centers located at the Serena Hotel in the capital, Kampala, just after midnight, around 1 am on Sunday, June 28.

Its television stations, including NTV, one of the most viewed private news broadcasters in the country, and the Daily Monitor, Uganda’s largest independent newspaper, “are being shut down from today!” military chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba posted on X.

By 5 am, NTV Uganda and Spark TV went off air. The NMG-owned radio stations, KFM and Dembe FM, fell silent. The newspaper did not roll out of its printing press that morning.

“From now on ALL bad stories about Uganda have to be cleared by my office! In Uganda, I DO NOT believe in a free press!” declared Kainerugaba, who is also the son and heir apparent of Yoweri Museveni, president of Uganda since 1986.

Earlier this January, Museveni won a seventh term in an election marred by “widespread repression and intimidation against the political opposition, human rights defenders, [and] journalists,” according to the UN.

Soon after Museveni was declared the winner, his son unleashed the military on the opposition. “So far we have killed 30” and arrested 2,000 members of the main opposition party, the National Unity Platform (NUP), Kainerugaba had announced on X only days later. When its leader, Bobi Wine, Museveni’s main opponent, was forced underground and eventually into exile, Kainerugaba told his troops to “bring him in dead or alive!”

Fair, but I can tell you that a lot of .ml comms only appear to be very large because they're one of the original instances so their comm subscriber counts are quite bloated with dead and deleted accounts (I don't think subscriber counts decrease for any reason other than you actually clicking the unsubscribe button on a comm)

If you take a look by MAUs (a much better metric to go by) the non.ml Threadiverse is actually very healthy

I review each and every crosspost since it's all done manually, I only filter out propaganda (like the constant deluge of Russian propaganda on .ml) and spams/scams

Obviously I'm human so I make mistakes, it happens, but the point is you can have the freedom to actually call out and/or discuss such things on another instance without needing to worry about getting censored and/or banned by the .ml admin for doing so

Context

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

Dessalines, head .ml admin, lead Lemmy dev actively spreading genocide denialism https://sh.itjust.works/post/61371958

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

You could always just block .ml :)

It's absolutely having the desired effects, when I started I was needing to sift through 100-200 posts every morning when I start

Now its down to 30-40 and select comms I monitor increase in MAUs

Lemmy ml is under heavy boycott and I run an effort to crosspost all good content from them to the closest relevant comm, see the spoiler for more
