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"?

Can we hear more about NATO crumbling? I'm very curious. The video didn't address it very well and whatever this is that you just posted seems like dribble.

So... NATO. Their plan has crumbled? What comes next?

DEVASTATING??? Wow! NATO has crumbled?

Does this mean the war is over? Geez. Devastating... I can't believe NATO just crumbled like that.

They haven't read them now, and they still bring it up constantly. Sorta like the constitution. Most of them own shirts that say We The People, or a sticker on their truck, or a flag on their house, or a trucker hat, but none of them have ACTUALLY read the constitution, let alone have any idea what's contained within it.

He won't

Aw yeah, poppinKREAM.

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.

There are troll communities on Lemmy. We have our share of bullshit. But, watching !theDonald and explodingheads try to gain a foothold here is beautiful. I mean, just next level ignorance. Bravo.

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
