    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.
