A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

The "service" has negative value. All it accomplishes is spam, doubling or quadrupling posts, and making every single user of a large instance out to be a tankie. There is also no shot it isn't just a script or bot being run unless they themselves spend an insane amount of time on ml making the while "boycott" thing horseshit to begin with.
And at this point, random instances are being starved of resources by the account spam (the federation takes disk space and bandwidth).
If people didn’t want it they wouldn’t upvote it. It’s that simple. You don’t get to speak for others.
I have not done this once, please provide receipts on this. I have very specifically been against the admins of .ml and select provable Tankie users of .ml
Well it isn't, for one, the activity levels on .ml just isn't that busy. For 2, I don't personally watch .ml, I just have a hook into the RSS feed and just get a notification on my phone. Takes me <15 seconds to crosspost a post. Couldn't bot it even if I wanted to, I have to be extremely selective because there's always a propaganda post of some kind.
It's very well documented and evidenced why
