some kind of paranoia about always needing to register new accounts.
I mean, you're not entirely wrong, the multiple accounts is for a few different reasons, but one of them is defense against impersonation accounts which has happened to me lol
But the main reasons for the many instance accounts are kinda unrelated to the ml crossposting kinda are, they are
Promoting smaller instances, because of the volume of my posting it helps makes smaller instances more recognizable
Making comms on fitting smaller instances (e.g. a programming comm id make on programming.dev)
Mitigating against the imposter problem
Better interconnecting smaller instances
Have you ever put the context thing in your copied posts?
I've thought about it, but ultimately decided against it, I felt it would make the thread in whatever comm I'm posting it in too off-topic. So instead i just comment it whenever it's inquired about
Fair, but I can tell you that a lot of .ml comms only appear to be very large because they're one of the original instances so their comm subscriber counts are quite bloated with dead and deleted accounts (I don't think subscriber counts decrease for any reason other than you actually clicking the unsubscribe button on a comm)
If you take a look by MAUs (a much better metric to go by) the non.ml Threadiverse is actually very healthy
I review each and every crosspost since it's all done manually, I only filter out propaganda (like the constant deluge of Russian propaganda on .ml) and spams/scams
Obviously I'm human so I make mistakes, it happens, but the point is you can have the freedom to actually call out and/or discuss such things on another instance without needing to worry about getting censored and/or banned by the .ml admin for doing so
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

Yea, this is the reason I held my tongue when the company CEO who laid me off last year (Who I worked directly under) posted something about investing in the people who further their goals. Because I had a bunch of very snarky I could have clapped back with, but I decided to not burn the bridge
That's actually somewhat plausible, I saw a vid earlier today from some one talking about how their work coding AI agent noticed that their NPM was set to only update package dependencies 7 days after release because ya know best security practices and all that
It "helpfully" set it to 0 because they would miss top features otherwise LMAO
Im not really sure what mesh networking has to do with GOS lol but either way, I can't really recommend much as I haven't jumped into mesh networking (yet)
Lol I've seen your lemvote history, you downvote anyone and everyone serially who you deem "posts too much" lmao
So you've just made up a bunch of stuff and refuse to provide receipts on any of it. Got it 👍
Not to mention you have deleted and reposted to avoid a downvote before.
Troll protection against a known downvote troll, employed on tiny comms only, it's not necessary anywhere else because your ability to push down posts is diluted
Nah lol all my crossposts are done by my own hands lol

Yea that's right
::: spoiler Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
You could always just block .ml :)
It's absolutely having the desired effects, when I started I was needing to sift through 100-200 posts every morning when I start
Now its down to 30-40 and select comms I monitor increase in MAUs
Lol I say that all the time too lmao
Yea, my city has a literal curfew for under 18s, can't be out past midnight or something like that.
