Thousands of overwhelmingly liberal redditors coming to lemmy.ml or one of the other high visible instances since reddit's API changes announcement in June. They've brought their insufferable Western chauvinism with them and have been "shitting in the pool" of all politics/news discussions.
It's not even just the politics/news discussion. I remember lemmy.ml being a pleasant site to discuss non-political topics (mostly nerd stuff, but still), despite the presence of obnoxious liberals. Now that it's overrun by redditors, it's... much lower quality? Or just plainly annoying? Or maybe it's just that I know that it all is being posted by obnoxious westerners? I can't quite put into words what exactly is bothering me, but it definitely is. I usually browse by local now instead of by all.
Liberal redditors turn everything they touch with their greasy mitts into shit.
On a separate topic. What's the connection between Lemmygrad and lemmy.ml?
