Hi, there have been some controversy on lemmy and in particular lemmy.ml with regards to affiliation with Putin.

I was wondering what were the point of view of the owner of Lemmy.world on the topic.

    . ml is the country code for Mali right? Or does it mean something else here?

      I think .ml was a popular cheap domain back when they started

      I think the problem is moreso (as far as I’ve heard) that the owners of the lemmy.ml instance overlap with the owners of lemmygrad, which is basically the table/authoritarian commie instance. There have been some rumours about posts and comments being deleted for being critical of China/Russia. How much of that is true, I don’t know,l. What I have noticed is that there is a higher percentage of tankies on Lemmy, but they’re still usually down voted when they say dumb stuff.
