I post quite a bit here but it feels so damn quiet. Why?

You guys are defederated from the two most active instances i see on my 'all' feed, lemmy.world and hexbear.net, and also a bunch of minor instances that still pop up pretty often like sh.itjust.works, lemmygrad.ml and lemmit.online.

Y'all live in a tiny bubble inside the already relatively small bubble that is lemmy.

Is Lemmy.ml any good? I made an alt there a while ago but don't use it much

It's OK but really has a lot of rage bait and ban happy mods.

No, stay away unless you subscribe to Marxist-Leninist ideology. Alternative viewpoints (so the vast majority of people) will be strongly criticized at best and banned at worst.

They're not even really Marxists/communists, it's a facade for propaganda.

If you are a member of the Iranian military who has been tasked with pretending to be a trans-communist in effort to convert lgbt kids into the Islamic extremist fold, .ml is the place for you.

If you aren't that, it's probably unsafe.

You could consider Reddthat.com if you want down votes disabled like on Beehaw

I cant say it's "good" but it's not bad. It's got some interesting discussion and the people are generally friendly. They have strong moderation so there is no hate speech or bigotry.

It performs well and is connected with all of the instances with the most active users. migrating is pretty annoying on lemmy tho but was worth it for me.

performs well

It really does!

If you're trying to spread propaganda and silence people you don't want having a voice.
