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”?

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.

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.

Okay, fair enough. Although, honestly, I’m struggling to figure something out and maybe you know.

If Lemmy users all hated Reddit and Reddit users so much, why did they all go there and try to convince everyone from Reddit to come to Lemmy when the API debacle happened?

Mass exodus from Reddit is because of API, not because the marijuana subreddit is called trees. You think the number of users skyrocketed the day API closed because people were mad about foodporn? No.

Nah, I think I’ll stay and keep chatting with you fine folks. You seem so grounded. Your points are always well articulated.

Plus,I think making fun of you is entertaining

I’m dying. This is my favorite comment of yours by far. I’m amazed that you realize that you have some deficiencies in the intelligence department. Fuckin brilliant

Hah, sorry guy, you seem to have found yourself smack in the middle of lemmygrad brigade. You can keep replying to them, but it doesn’t matter.

They’re just gonna keep saying shit that makes zero sense, then 10 tankies will upvote them and downvote you

It really doesn’t matter what you say. It’s the same in every thread

Was Lemmy just a MAGA and Lemmygrad shit show before the Reddit people got here?

So, if I understand… You’re upset people are talking about climate change?

He’s just your standard Lemmygrad genius. It’s like /r/theDonald, but somehow, almost dumber, which I thought would be difficult.

How do you appear in every single thread bitching about liberals? You know your people have safe zones? Why not just go there.

Grab yourself a hot little Truth Social ™ account and you can rant about brown people and LGBTQ people all you want. Nobody will complain.

Come on, it’ll be fun. Y’all can compare truck flags.

This is just a great response. Are you waiting to be persecuted for something?

Quick, someone say something nice about LGBTQ people so he can respond and get banned.

What’s the harm? Have a go at it. Make a video.

Oh good, exploding heads and lemmygrad everywhere. Got a sign up link? That sounds like a disaster

It’s definitely a problem here. They spam to every news community, then brigade the votes. And, they use a bunch of alt accounts on different instances.

Lemmy.ml also has a lemmygrad instance that is spamming propaganda and disinformation in all the news / politics subs. The !worldnews here is just about useless since it’s 75% lemmygrad users and their alts spamming nonsense.

Is there a guide or tutorial or just someone with spare time who can explain how and why it works that way?
