I've been on this instance for a about a month now, and I've not seen anything remotely like that

It would not shock me in the least if the reason this instance was put on that list was because of one of those "all weebs are pedos" jerks

Remember when a bunch of instances banned nsfwlemmy because they allegedly allowed pedo content, when in truth they just decided to not moderate fictional characters where the age was not obvious (like potentially 18, but plus / minus a couple years)?

I think especially Lemmy.ml should rather focus more on cleaning up their Tankie & moderator issues instead of chasing ghosts, because that instance is a toxic cesspool of assholes and disinformation.

As much as I would love to see it, I don't think the lead devs of lemmy, who own both lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, are going to ban themselves.

Then they might as well merge both instances.

That's how it was originally. They spun lemmygrad off to an entirely different serve because they made a halfhearted attempt at going mainstream, which seems to have lasted about 5 minutes

A bit weird that they didnt want proof of misconduct, but hey

It's the lemmy.ml admins/lemmy devs, didn't really expect anything else from them.

It looks like ani.social they have a rule to forbid the content though might have just been posts that weren’t reported

ml seems to be coming a bit unwound. They have been super ban happy lately but enforce the rules very unevenly. Hexbears can post pig shit gifs, but citing mainstream political science gets you banned pretty reliably if you do it under the wrong gaze. It really is starting to look more and more like fediverse cancer.
