You can just unblock it temporarily.
Or connect from an account in another instance (or directly from an account in .ml).
That is true, but I don't want to interact with the instance in any way.
Why? There are awesome communities there. Also Firefox, but they've long since fallen below "awesome".
I know, especially open source communities! But I am a political person, and instance moderators heavily defending authoritarian countries such as North Korea and Russia is a hard no go for me. So instead I try to engage in alternative communities on other instances, even if they are very small or sadly do not exist at all.
Would you be okay with a US instance then, for example? They have couped, bombed or invaded only 48 countries so far (including mine). Or perhaps an European instance! They invaded both Africa and America and particioned them nicely as well as exercised a bit of genocide, as a treat.
Their issue isn't with the geographic location the server is hosted in
They are talking about the unreconcialable differences between authoritarianists and leftist
.ml excuses dictatorships and genocide for "the cause", despite their cause being the continuation of fascist dictatorships.
If the instance is focused around defending and enabling our fascists. Then everyone should object the same. That it just exists in the US isn't the same thing and besides the point.
Of course they would, they're hypocrites
A much fair point.
