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

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

Yea that’s right

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

Same lol, I love my Valetudo Dreame X40, but I would like a good FOSS option to

Lol 😂 I actually have wayyy to much hobbies to do, my project list is already a mile long

Im not really sure what mesh networking has to do with GOS lol but either way, I can’t really recommend much as I haven’t jumped into mesh networking (yet)

It’s the endgame to “load bearing line of code that’s supposed to do nothing”

Lol I’ve seen your lemvote history, you downvote anyone and everyone serially who you deem “posts too much” lmao

So you’ve just made up a bunch of stuff and refuse to provide receipts on any of it. Got it 👍

Not to mention you have deleted and reposted to avoid a downvote before.

Troll protection against a known downvote troll, employed on tiny comms only, it’s not necessary anywhere else because your ability to push down posts is diluted

Nah lol all my crossposts are done by my own hands lol

Hi again my downvote trolling friend!

And your history is full of reposts from several instances

Then you should be able to provide receipts easily then? So where?

Im not evading user blocks, I provide a listing that’s available in my bio. I have told you this and others have as well and you have flat out stated you refuse to take advantage of what tools have been given to you for “reasons”.

Additionally, your story about me changes every time someone counters your arguments.

.ML content, they repost shit from all instances.

Nope, you just assume or, perhaps maliciously just conveniently leave that part out, because someone else crossposted after me. Like you did here: https://lemdro.id/comment/22804934

Actual reasons for multiple accounts:

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

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:

.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.

Honestly, I just want vibrant communities on topics of interest to me that are not tied to US-style commercial social platforms.

The Threadiverse is definitely healthier and more resistant to falling into the same kinds of traps when we spread comms across smaller instances

I also am actively avoiding contributing to .world comms after the JL situation handling

Though I’ve always prioritized smaller instance comms before that, after that whole thing happened now I even make comms if there’s no off-world off-.ml equivalent

The link works, what are you seeing?

Also, it says it was published last week

Yea, this comm is not not the onion

Similarly to @dg2445@sh.itjust.works I use their digital notebook. A Boox Note Air (1st gen) and it’s been really solid. They use android heavily so I’m not bound to their app store which I like.

Case selection, for my model at least, sucks

Yea, it’s a project for release, looks like if things go well they’re targeting a release candidate by dec 15th
