    Seems weird to me they’re de-federating from world but not from the very problematic ml.

      They said it’s mostly about the amount of moderation action they’ve had to take against users from those instances. Maybe lemmy.ml has less users who behave badly outside their server?

      I could also see there being a reticence to defederate from the “canonical” instance so to speak.

        It could also be that their definition of “bad behavior” is overly broad and thin-skinned. Which fits with everything I’ve seen from there so far.

      lemmy.ml is significantly smaller because they chose to point users to other instances and even closed registration at one point to ensure that they could continue to keep up with demand.
