So far on Lemmy, whenever I see someone comment this, it's because they're mad Reddit got "toxic towards my free speech to stupid ass MAGA nonsense". Is that what you mean by Reddit being "toxified"?

Too bad proxy wars don't count

Or, maybe, the world is more liberal than you've been led to believe as your circle of influence grew smaller as you got older.

Does this feel like Reddit did then? Does to me.

Carpet rakes are underrated. I've got a rubber one and it's great. Also good for removing pet hair from furniture with a vacuum.

I dunno about the code. But, they're definitely pushing their agenda here on Lemmy.

As far as I'm concerned, it's the only true negative aspect of Lemmy that I've noticed since I joined.

Everything here is pretty good. The users are mostly cool. Content is not high in quantity, yet, but it's decent quality.

Lemmy has one real, true problem, tankies. They're dishonest, they manipulate content, they brigade posts, they're a cancer. They have no home in legitimate link aggregation.

If it is true that they "built" Lemmy, it was only to get away from everyone who shunned them and forced them to find a safe place. And now they're mad that people who aren't deranged lunatics arrived in their safe place.

Okay. Finally, after a month here, I'll bite.

Who said it was built by tankies? I'm not saying it wasn't. But, afaik, ActivityPub was developed by W3C.

Are they tankies? They don't strike me as tankies, but I've been wrong before. People keep saying the Fediverse was built by tankies, and I guess I'm missing some history, because as far as I can tell, there may have been some tankies, but it doesn't seem built by tankies.

Even now, Lemmygrad is small. They're annoying as fuck. And they're pervasive on Lemmy. But, it's not like there's a lot of them.

So, if anyone feels like bringing me up to speed on the history of the Fediverse, I'm extremely eager to learn.

 

Leaving Reddit and Twitter, trying to find some sources in the Fediverse to keep up to speed with the invasion of Ukraine.

Anyone have recommendations for people on Mastodon or communities here on Lemmy that are reliable and up to date?
