Thank you for pointing out the issue with, I think, the ML instance? I don’t particularly like how it was done and have some critiques, but those can wait and this can be a good teaching opportunity for both of us.
If you’ll note the age of my account you may realize that Mastodon Fed didn’t exist when it was created. In fact, when I signed up as part of the great Reddit Exodus there weren’t many other functional instances. The other alternative I tried didn’t send me an account activation email. It would seem the ML is the only one that would have me at the time.
After reading your post I found myself scratching my head thinking, “Why is this person talking about China? I didn’t even mention China?” Then I thought, wait, is the lemmy dev an advocate for genocide or something? I don’t see any articles on that and it’s an open source project. Perhaps the ML instance is mainly hosted in China? But I’m not giving them money?
Finally, I found someone mention that the ML domain was “Marxism-Lenninism” and not “machine learning”. I haven’t confirmed this so don’t take my word as gospel.
And yet, you registered on .ml. But let me guess, China doesn’t do that. It’s not a concentration camp if it’s a Gulag, right?
No. It’s not okay when China does it either.

Now the question is, “do I move instances?”
That’s a longer conversation.
