Why would I warn my friend? I know their preferences. Why wouldn’t I warn the masses? I don’t know or care about their preferences. Maybe they’d like .ml, who knows, let them find out on their own.

Most people don’t like .ml, look at the vote ratio on the post.
So, for most new people, we expect they also won’t enjoy it. No one is stopping them, same way you aren’t stopping your friend, just warning them. If they want to go play there or it appeals, nothing stops them.
But, warning people does help cut down on the “ugh, is this the fediverse? I don’t like reddit but at least it’s not that!”
let them find out on their own.
No one is stopping them but it’s polite to give a warning, same as we do for nsfw subs.
The vote ratio on my comments contradict the vote ratio on the post.
You’re assuming preferences of strangers, not cool.
No one is stopping them
You are stopping them. You’re telling new users to avoid that community, which is probably stopping many. Most people when visiting a new city would listen to someone who suggests avoiding a particular area.
You’re worried about .ml scaring off fediverse users? The fediverse is a big place, with .world being the biggest. If they don’t like .ml then they’ll find .world. If you’re right about .ml then let people find it, promote it even, and they’ll bounce to .world if .ml is too mean.
Y’all making memes about nsfw subs? No, you’re not.

Come on, you’ve got to know that’s an absurd point.
You’re telling new users to avoid that community, which is probably stopping many.
And they are completely free to go to .ml . Do you not understand how censorship works?
If they don’t like .ml then they’ll find .world.
Or they decide that the fediverse is an unpleasant experience and leave. (Remember, to new people coming from most social media, instances etc are completely new. So when they deal with .ml craziness, the first reaction is probably not “that instance isn’t good” so much as “oh, this shitty reddit alternative has no content AND awful people? Reddit sucks but at least it ain’t this fediverse bs.”)
Y’all making memes about nsfw subs? No, you’re not.
Really? You don’t see how a commonly used and almost universal acronym like NSFW is different than a niche fediverse domain? That’s an actual comparison you thought was a good point?
This is getting pretty silly, you’ve decided that making fun of .ml is censorship regardless of reality, meaning or anything else, so I don’t really see any point in continuing.
Dude, your first point was conflating the post’s general upvote ratio with your comment ratio. Then finished with "why aren’t you meming about NSFW comms. That’s just a pair of objectively nonsensical points.
If you’re just going to spout silliness, why on Earth would I spend my time with you?
It is censorship.
Why would I warn my friend? I know their preferences. Why wouldn’t I warn the masses? I don’t know or care about their preferences. Maybe they’d like .ml, who knows, let them find out on their own.

Have a nice day though!
Omg you’re not arguing in good faith, wasted so much of my time…

As always, people are weird and then act like you’re the weirdo for being normal. OP is a shitheel with propaganda.
Damn big .world and their pernicious anti .ml propaganda!
Come on.
Thanks, I needed that
You’re welcome. They seem to think they’re doing a service while being a dipshit debate troll.
