It’s a weird thing - I gravitated towards .ml because it doesn’t federate with threads (not sure of ee, I will check), had a decent userbase (not sure why I thought that mattered), and I liked the idea that most people on the instance would be to the left of me (again, really doesn’t matter in the end I guess, it just felt more comfortable that way than being amongst what I’d perceive as a bunch of conservatives) - since then I’ve learned of the reputation of .ml, but on the other hand aside from the occasional snark from folks I don’t think it impacts me much, unless there are things I’m missing I don’t realize. (which is possible)

But I appreciate the suggestion. I’ve been considering whether I want to move based on the above - I suppose I could create an account elsewhere and see how different the Lemmy experience is or isn’t as a result…
