America 200 years ago: Steal land from native peoples and then kill, sterilize and oppress them, putting their children in concentration camps where they’re forced to give up their religions, languages and cultures
Lemmy devs: THEY’RE STILL EVIL! FASCIST THIS FASCIST THAT!!! AAAAAAH I HATE MY COUNTRY SO MUCH WE ARE SO GENOCIDAL AND RACIST! HOW MANY RUSSIAN AND CHINESE DICKS SHOULD I SUCK TO ATONE FOR THIS?
China today: Steal land from native peoples and then kill, sterilize and oppress them, putting their children in concentration camps where they’re forced to give up their religions, languages and cultures
Lemmy devs: UNBELIEVABLY BASED!
So… basically, all this time I’ve been using what started out as an alt-left version of Truth Social?
While this does explain a LOT, I’m still gonna keep using Lemmy since a lot of good has definitely come out of it too (think the antique memes, c/nostupidquestions and the one-user art c/‘s), and unlike Reddit it’s open-source, so even the corrupt programmers lack complete control over it; every instance is merely a reflection of the person who made it. And at least .world has somewhat saner people, which is probably why its native user accounts outnumber ml ones nearly 4:1. What are they gonna do, double-block this community from ml?
