So far on Lemmy, whenever I see someone comment this, it's because they're mad Reddit got "toxic towards my free speech to stupid ass MAGA nonsense". Is that what you mean by Reddit being "toxified"?

He won't

Brilliant

Aw yeah, poppinKREAM.

Or Stone

Too bad proxy wars don't count

Next week

3 shells?

I think this is a good point. When I got here, before I started shaping my feed, it was basically rule196, furry porn, tankies and memes.

Actually... A lot like Reddit in the Digg days, minus the tankies.

Less "gems" and rage comics and "Le", but the same idea, modernized for 2023.

It was those of us (probably in this Lemmy thread, ironically, 15 years-ish later) who outlasted the Le gems of Reddit, and turned it into the modern place.

Then, spez. Fuck spez

Or, maybe, the world is more liberal than you've been led to believe as your circle of influence grew smaller as you got older.

Does this feel like Reddit did then? Does to me.

Carpet rakes are underrated. I've got a rubber one and it's great. Also good for removing pet hair from furniture with a vacuum.

I dunno about the code. But, they're definitely pushing their agenda here on Lemmy.

As far as I'm concerned, it's the only true negative aspect of Lemmy that I've noticed since I joined.

Everything here is pretty good. The users are mostly cool. Content is not high in quantity, yet, but it's decent quality.

Lemmy has one real, true problem, tankies. They're dishonest, they manipulate content, they brigade posts, they're a cancer. They have no home in legitimate link aggregation.

If it is true that they "built" Lemmy, it was only to get away from everyone who shunned them and forced them to find a safe place. And now they're mad that people who aren't deranged lunatics arrived in their safe place.

Okay. Finally, after a month here, I'll bite.

Who said it was built by tankies? I'm not saying it wasn't. But, afaik, ActivityPub was developed by W3C.

Are they tankies? They don't strike me as tankies, but I've been wrong before. People keep saying the Fediverse was built by tankies, and I guess I'm missing some history, because as far as I can tell, there may have been some tankies, but it doesn't seem built by tankies.

Even now, Lemmygrad is small. They're annoying as fuck. And they're pervasive on Lemmy. But, it's not like there's a lot of them.

So, if anyone feels like bringing me up to speed on the history of the Fediverse, I'm extremely eager to learn.

Holy shit? How many people in Florida have been mutilating kids?! Does anyone have statistics?! This is horrible news!?!

Does anyone know how wide spread this is? Like an official count by the government or an oversight body, or something? Anything?

We should organize against this for sure. Once we have all the facts, we should form some type of a resistance. Maybe, like, a group called:

"Quit mutilating your own children, Satan! Move to California where they sacrifice all the children and mutilate babies. At least the babies who survive poat-birth abortion. And mutilation. And the pizza restaurant in DC. And all the children!!!!"

It's not great for slogans, I agree. But I'm open to ideas

I hope not. You seem okay so far.

I left Reddit for Lemmy a month ago.

The comments in politics communities around here do not live up to Reddit's yet. Close sometimes.

This comment is the first time I've actually laughed. Brilliant. I actually went at read the article just because of this comment. Cheers.

Nah, doxing is terrible. You and I can agree on that.

It's your war against leftists that's hilarious

Man, these leftists are coming for everyone! They sound so scary!

The American thing to do? Shit. Aren't the leftists Americans too? Are these foreign leftists coming for you? What are they coming with? Do they have weapons?

What should I do to protect myself from these lunatics? Should I build a shelter? Fuck. Are they coming for me right now? Is there time to prepare? Or is the apocalypse already upon us?!

Please respond, I'm very nervous now.
