40+ reports in a single comment section… Please remember that Rule 2 is “no politics”, and this isn’t the right place to argue about the Middle East or Ukraine.

Sorry, but I’m going to lock this.

I’m out of the loop, what’s going on?

Why would you want to create an echo chamber? I genuinely don’t get it, it’s the internet, if you encounter an opinion you disagree with, literally just close the tab and it’s gone

I block everything from .ml because I rather not be part of Russian or China-nese psyops.

I blocked .ml and there was a sharp decrease of content.

Seeing that, I was forced to walk back and use reedit more. At least there you won’t find people arguing pro-genocide in a post about Linux Kernel.

Posting this to lemmy.world, lol

“We should defederate from everything which does not agree with my .world view and create a giant centralized echo chamber”!

Why the fuck does every .world user suddenly want Lemmy to be Reddit?

I don’t think the meme makes sense. The ml users don’t seem to care how much other content is out there. They still participate as much as they’d like.

Listen. Just fuckin listen to me. The moment I joined lemmy every enthusiast was singing praise to the fediverse and how it’s easy to maintain the freedom of speach and yada yada yada. What it turned out to be is just constant quarrels between instances, defederations and crap like that while lemmy still fucking struggles to even become a mere shadow of reddit. I fucking hate reddit, I think spez should be covered in fire ants, but by god, looking at how insufferable most vocal lemmy users are, I may get back to reddit, probably as many other lemmy users already did.

Another day of .world reddit migrants thinking de-federating or boycotting .ml will change literally anything.

I see the liberals who got upset at bluesky being a “tankie echo chamber” are right at home on lemmy.world where they year for nothing but a Reddit 2.0 where 90% of the content is fed through a handful of professional content astroturfers or bot accounts linked to three-letter agencies.

yes, please continue this trend isolating yourselves from the fediverse

lemmy.world is the most toxic instance and every insanely bloodthirsty, racist, misogynistic, or otherwise vile take seems to come from your lot
