My first time experience here had been very politically charged and I asked about it in askLemmy and I was told to immediately block you people in the options I was given
I had the opportunity to browse around and found out that you folk were decent and weren’t as awful as told in that post I made
How do you view .world and by extension other instances that defederate (and view negatively) towards you?
i sometimes wish they would go back to reddit or move off to bluesky, discord, threads, loops, etc. and it’s clear that the latter is looking more and more likely, i just need to be more patient.
i hate that they’ve engendered this spiteful opinion from me from all the vitriol, brigading, banning, and the “advice” that they gave you in asklemmy and it would have made me abandon lemmy; like i did reddit; were it not for hexbear and the .ml’s.
i think that they take offense when you point out the propoganda that they (hopefully) unwittingly repeat or that their support for genocide enablers goes well beyond an election and it also makes me think that i need to have more patience; but FUCK is it hard to do when they poisoned the well before you’re even aware that the other people exist.
If it makes you feel better, back in the Reddit days people warning about “Chapos” got me curious enough to check out our precursor sub for myself to see what they were talking about because they couldn’t back up any of their lies with real evidence and that just made me curious. Sure, I never made a Reddit account, but I lurked, and I wouldn’t be on Hexbear today if the neolibs of Reddit hadn’t tried to scare people away, ironically.
same here; except i was foolish enough to create a reddit account and engaged w all the redditors for almost 15 years.
i wouldn’t have even known that lemmy had existed if reddit hadn’t banned chapo and i likewise would not have known what hexbear is if .world hadn’t defederated. lol
Same but with SRS and SRSRecovery, then I was off Reddit before CTH blew up
