How is that even possible???

If he wanted to, couldn’t spez just buy it, and make it serve as a redirect to reddit? I don’t understand how SOMEONE hasn’t bought/used this domain for fediverse purposes.

    I ultimately agree with a lot of communism and as such I’m probably more likely to agree with the average Tankie than most people.

    And with that disclaimer, yeah kinda it has aided them in doing that.

    They created a reddit alternative that has a “default server” as it were. And they have the ability to admin that source of information to tailor to their specific ideological needs.

    But is it effective in a grander scheme? That’s pretty debatable.

      i personally don’t see that as an issue tbh, they were never really trying to push ml to be the main instance imo, i vividly remember when people were flooding in from r****t and because ml didn’t really bother upgrading server hardware it was insanely slow, and so people moved to other new instances like .world instead

      and i mean they have and always had a whole section of their docs dedicated to censorship resistance so i really doubt their purpose for ml is to censor people, but just to make a “safe space”/“echo chamber” (call it whatever you want) for tankies
