We could argue that the root cause is that .ml admins pretending that their instance's target audience is wider than it actually is.

Their target audience is Westerner suckers gullible enough to have their opinions manipulated

Do they though?

I was rejected when I first tried to sign up (when I was entirely new to lemmy) and they're turning at least one user away now

Ah, they do it now? When I signed up there (~3y ago) there was no such thing.

Anyway, it's still a problem because most users interacting with .ml content are from other instances.

3 years ago were there any other instances with traction? Agreed on your second point.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 2 points 5 days ago

Nah, there were just LG and .ml, as OpenStars said. Technically HB too but they didn't federate due to technical limitations.

Lemmygrad.ml is 5 years old, and hexbear.net is 4 years old.

[–] Maeve@midwest.social 1 points 6 days ago

Yep. I was not accepted several times. Now I am

Why were you rejected?

Who knows? Lemmy gave very little feedback messages then. I found a good instance to stick with.

Edit: it would have been around when I made this account (i.e. couple days before blackout protest and maybe they wanted to encourage signups at the several others that had recently popped up.
