Yes and for some reason posts I made from 9 months ago are now getting weird hostile comments as well. Usually in standard Reddit 'tankie authoritarian bad' fashion as well. I don't mind new users but the moment this place turns into another Reddit I'll probably be out of here. I could've just stayed at Reddit itself for that.
Its a common Reddit tactic to sort by most upvotes and then attack those posts /comments no matter how old they are. Its classic Reddit brain tactics.
I hate how liberals try to infect every place on the internet like it belongs to them.
Give it a few weeks, a couple months at most. The overwhelming amount of newcomers will get tired and leave again for Reddit; it's easier for them to accept the mediocre official app and the permanent disappearance of third party APIs than to accept opinions dissenting from mainstream liberal politics to exist in the same space as theirs without repression.
I doubt that'll happen, most liberal instances block us and we can just ban individual anticommunists from lemmy.ml when they comment
Worst comes to worst we could always defederate.
