They are openly authoritarian “communists”, you don’t need to simp for China, Russia or NK to be a communist. But they do and they leverage the .ml Instance to do so. This is the point of contention for most (including myself) donating to them, and it was brought up in those threads numerous times. If they put in place a new admin team that was as unbiased and fair as possible, they would massively increase in donations. They won’t though because they know exactly what they’re doing with .ml to further their personal political ideology.
To paraphrase one user on one of those threads “Devs should do dev work and not mod work, admins/mods should do admin/mod work and not dev work”.
