I'm cross-posting content from .ml comms to the nearest non-.ml comm as part of ongoing boycotting efforts to reduce .ml's influence to make defederation an easier decision for admins everywhere because of the .ml admins insistence to push their Tankie ideology through various means from censorship of views critical of Authoritarian regimes such as Russia or China (and even criticism of the right-wing)to allowing propaganda outlets (such as RT) to flourish

It's not just people with different viewpoints, the admins are actively pushing an authoritarian agenda and censor any dissent against those views. And I have a bunch documented on that comm of the shenanigans they get up to. .ml is more subtle about things than the rest of the Tankie Triad (Hex and Grad) to avoid larger calls of defederation, but they absolutely share the same Authoritarian "ideology"
I tagged them last year as a "FUD/Misinfo spreader", every encounter with them has an 80% chance of reinforcing the tag lol
The actual food and service is probably only maybe a couple hundred to a couple thousand/plate
The rest of the price is the "donation". The tactic itself is not bad, many charities and fundraisers do the same thing, charge a hundred or 2 (if it's an event for us pleebs) per person for food and the event and the rest is your donation.
What the donation is for is the problem here
That's just par for the course for the lemmy.ml admins, here I did a small write up with additional evidence in response to another user on the dedicated thread for these screenshots I made on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
And .ml is absolutely unbiased and doesnt censor!
Oh wait, they are and do:

I hope its active enough in the Lemmy-verse to support it, I always considered that kind of comm to almost require a large amount of people to make it useful
Then again, the Lemmy-verse is full of nerds soooo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Eh maybe maybe not, sometimes it's an opportunity to get them to spill more that others will see than they might have. That's why I did my best to ensure to keep calling back to the real point, .ml's crap
As far as the whole comic thing goes, that's genuine, fuck the Israeli government and trying to conflate any and all criticism against them as "anti-Semitism"
Nope, all posts to a .ml comm will be cross-posted to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm as-is and in full (in most cases)
However, non-.ml comm posts will just get an upvote from me and only crossposted if I feel it fits a more niche comm as well
