I had no clue. I was just tired of Reddit and when looking into Lemmy the .ml one came up first in the search. Guess I get to make a new one somewhere else.

They chose .ml because it was free. They don't delete comments just because they don't agree with them. I don't get why some people feel the need to spread lies about the lemmy devs/lemmy.ml admins just for being in favour of communism.

The claim about .ml meaning that is about as dumb as people saying AC/DC means anti-christ devil-child..

But lemmy.ml absolutely removed posts criticizing china. They also made their beliefs very clear. It wasn't lemmygrad.. but they would absolutely censor anti-china rhetoric, and had many brainwashed or Chinese troll accounts.

They even started censoring certain words on lemmy.ml, including "bitch." I'm not okay with that...

I think the majority of users were normal people who randomly ended up there. But just because this one claim is silly, it doesn't detract from very real issues that existed there.
