      Ignorance is bliss. No offense intended. I generally agree with most regarding .ml. But grad and hex were really on another level. Generally the worst you get from ml are dogpile downvoted and paragraphs long copypasta or LLM generated dogma screed. Often unrelated to what you posted or just whataboutism.

      Grad and hex would perform an organized brigading against you and often leave your inbox a largely unusable.

        Jesus, that sounds horrible. And then that one anti-AI community doxxed an ml-type troll for some fucking reason and now they can use that as a “Look what they do to us! For shame, for shame!” And for what? Why would they fucking dox a troll? Who tf cares enough to do that?

        Sorry, got off on a bit of a rant lol I’ve heard a lot about that incident but it seems we’re not allowed to bring it up or something at the risk of endangering that person again, so nobody has told me the details yet of what happened.

      After ChapoTrapHouse on reddit got quarantined, lemmy.ml popped up as an alternative hub for tankies. Afterwards, the more tankie elements of lemmy.ml temporarily moved to lemmygrad to make Lemmy look more attractive for “normies”

      Following the reddit refugee wave, Tankies found themselves greatly outnumbered, so they had to bring in hexbear, which was created after ChapoTrapHouse got banned.
