      Oh no, not the downvotes. Anything but the downvotes.

      Are you 12? Do your parents know you’re online without supervision? Maybe they should explain this federation thing to you.

          Your best insult is to threaten me with downvotes (which don’t do anything on Lemmy, maybe you would like to read the documentation, there are even pictures to make it easy for you, and we’re working on a kids’ version written in a nursery rhyme, maybe that one will be more your level!) and then do “no you” lmao

          Yeah, I’m not worried about the “migration” if you’re the best they got 😂

              i’m well aware of what the eternal september was, just commenting here that if you think a couple radlibs coming to lemmy for a few days before the reddit thing dies down and then melting down over checks notes communists existing is going to be anything other than an opportunity to make fun of you guys you’re delusional lol

          It’s almost like you don’t understand this whole federation thing.

          If you defederate from communists it just means that you don’t see their posts. Other people do though.

          When people defederate others with the goal of political manipulation (as you are implying is a good thing) it means that communists get to refute your comments and you don’t see them, but others do.

          All you do is take yourselves out of the conversation.

      and the new users are all going to continue calling out and outvoting you and yours.

      Uhh, you have -9 and literally nobody has upvoted you.

      And why are you obsessed with internet points rather than actual correctness and education?
