ML stands for Machine Learning. If the goal of those two bots were to argue with each other to sew political division and distract from the class inequality suffered by both sides, they are doing their job very well.
In any case, if your immediate response is to interpret a comment containing the initialism “ML” as your Lemmy instance being persecuted, you may have a victim complex.
Not a computer nerd, thanks for the knowledge, though!
I don’t know if you know this, but ML is much, much more commonly used by .World users in regards to the instance, and not machine learning. I don’t think it’s a victim complex as much as it’s a bogeyman problem.
My inference from the comment chain’s context was “ML” as the tech concept, but, yeah—if someone is unfamiliar with the term, I can see how that will be seen as a comment about the .ml instance.
I just scrolled a few more screens down into the guy’s post history than when I wrote my original reply to you. No, you were right.
For an account 3 weeks old with comments that make it seem like he works in a software development field, he had opinions on tankies. Charitability and assuming Occam’s razor applied was not something I should have given him.
He mentioned rotating accounts every 4 weeks. His instance is quokk.au, and I sometimes see extremely disagreeable and standoffish comments from some quokk “users” who get banned from communities and disappear. I think it might be the same guy.

I’ll admit, that was my bad, lol. Thanks again for the explanation!

Shit, you weren’t kidding. Thanks for sleuthing. Guy seems like a real piece of work.

Nothing suspicious about that at all, lol.
