Sure, there are always outliers and you can correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s just the overall impression I have.

I’m not a fan of this becoming a nazi bar
It’s not too far off already, considering .ml, grad, and hexbear’s propensity to advocate for violence against others for being “liberals.”
Basically it’s already a nazi bar with some red paint and a star on the door. The people who I told about lemmy all left pretty quick because of it and I’ve stopped recommending it to people entirely.

Long story short, discuss.online defederated hexbear recently, making it a potential recommendation for new joiners (they also block lemmygrad)
https://lemmy.cafe/ blocks ml too, but they have the 0.19.7 pictures bug. Once they fix that, they could become another go-to recommendation for new joiners.
That’s good to know, I’ll keep an eye on it, thanks! But tbh the reality is that .ml is still too integral to defed yet, until your decentralization efforts take hold (and btw I try to sub to the other communities whenever I see you post one I’m interested in and will sometimes unfollow the .ml one if I can, thanks for all the recommendations!)
I think at this moment people can live without .ml if they’re not into tech. Sure, [email protected] and [email protected] are the most active in their fields, but the non-tech user probably doesn’t care. And alternatives like [email protected] are getting more and more active
Glad that you like that effort!
That may be true tbh, I’m more techy so I can’t yet but maybe for someone who isn’t they could.
Keep at it for sure! If this place really ends up thriving and getting bigger for niche interests and stuff it’s in no small part because of your efforts to do so! I genuinely appreciate it, even for stuff I’m not personally interested in.
I’m not either, but that’s like saying “I don’t want my TV full of gays!” because a sitcom has a gay character.
