New account but I've been using burner accounts and lurking since the sub got banned. I've been seeing all the standard liberal brainworms again for the first time since and everytime it's an account from another federation. I was tepidly against federation at first but this has been entertaining, like the old days of people who wandered into the sub.
I gotta imagine this will only last another week before everyone defederates us, but let's enjoy it for now.
I feel like there was a stale patch for a while but there's since been a readjustment with content being a little less laser-focused on politics and overall a little more positive.
