I for one have stopped posting any content to lemmy.ml communities.
your "boycott" was already happening naturally because (ayk) lemmy.ml's mods are insufferable

MODERATORS
Here's a list of a few .ml communities and potential replacements:
- ask lemmy - !asklemmy@lemm.ee !asklemmy@sh.itjust.works
- linux - !linuxquestions@lemmy.zip !linux@linux.community !linux@programming.dev
- memes* - !memes@sopuli.xyz !memes@slrpnk.net !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone !memes@midwest.social
- programmer humor - !programmer_humor@programming.dev
- world news - !news@beehaw.org !globalnews@lemmy.zip
- technology - !technology@sh.itjust.works
- funny - !funny@sh.itjust.works
- ukraine - !ukraine@sopuli.xyz
Side note the main issue with .ml is transparency. It's fine if the admins of an instance implement whatever rules they want in their instance; however, once they start enforcing hidden rules disguised as violations of the listed rules, they're being liars and treating the users as stupid things to be herded, not as human beings.
EDIT: as people noticed I'm not including .world comms to not encourage even further concentration of activity into the largest instance. Decentralisation is important. Also I'm adding stuff that you guys suggest.
* for specialised memes, as the category is rather large:
Hey. Hey, people. Just selecting each link and subscribing will vastly improve your experience here in the fediverse. Do it now, before you forget!
I had the audacity to say that the deaths of Tiannanmen's Square were inexcusable, no matter who started the violence, and my comment was removed under instance rule 1 (bigotry).. like wat 😂
The irony of so-called Marxist-Leninists refusing to be self-critical...

I stand by every single comment that's been removed from this platform. Some of them were removed for good reason, one of them was a brain fart that I shouldn't have posted in the first place, but I'm happy to have y'all investigate my moderation history
ETA: If you read this, and then replied to a comment that's already been removed from a community I'm banned from, you're an idiot. I literally can't interact with you. Why not reply to this comment?
Thanks for posting that, I had no idea. Yikes. Time to find a new instance.
