Yea .ml is shorthand for lemmy.ml, grad is shorthand for lemmygrad.ml

I’m subbed to several communities there for the FOSS and selfhosting stuff, on both this account and my db0 account…

I’ve been calling for a boycott of .ml for a few weeks now because they get away with a lot of crap because they, on the surface, have the biggest comms, so most instances don’t want to defend from them. I say on the surface because it’s only by subscribers count, so that can be full of dead accounts.

For example Linux .ml comm reports 52k subsribers, last I checked, Lemmy-verse wide only had 52k ACTIVE users. I highly doubt every single active user is subbed to the lemmy.ml Linux comm lol if you look to MAUs on a per comm basis, it’s a much different story. A story that says that the only .ml comm to break the top 25 is memes LMFAO

So to that end I would like to encourage you to unsub from them and delete any posted content there
