      I saw a guy literally posting pretty much all of those unironically today. I almost started to respond and then thought better of it. I don’t mind engaging with some liberals in good faith if I think they are just misguided, but that was absolutely a lost cause.

      That’s exactly it. “We hate Reddit and its centralized, surveillance-capitalism model! Let’s move to Lemmy! Wait what? Lemmy is built by COMMUNISTS? And they don’t uncritically regurgitate NATO propaganda? OH NO!”
