If you go to lemmy.ml it's just a bunch of fucking redditors with their dogshit memes and like three lemme users. It's sad. I strongly encourage users of this site who are so inclined to take a break from infighting to bully neoliberals over there.

    It's great. Dessalines fully intended to have "mainstream" instances for these people, including (but not exclusively) lemmy.ml.

    Liberals and such will disperse into their own instances over the next few months. Lemmygrad is fine and commie as always. We exist and will be joining them soon, it's going to be very funny.

      Unless nutomic differs or their stance changed in the past two years, they explicitly said lemmy.ml was not one of the mainstream/liberal instances they were encouraging. Source: https://lemmy.ml/post/70280

              Sure, but compare to a month ago. It was in the same ballpark as the others, compared to neck-and-neck Lemmygrad and lemmy.ml

              Speaking of which, I have no idea how Hexbear compares. The stats are a bit different and I don't know if it's apples and apples. I don't know Hexbear lore too well but I've heard bans are very common over petty 'struggle sessions' and so account/user stats are pretty inflated.

              The point being, are you still a tidal wave that can bully the libs if necessary?

                Obviously yes, lol. That's why our subreddits get banned. Our terminally online nature, we just can't stop dunking.

                DO YOU SEE THESE ARMS?

                Just look at the upvotes on Hexbear and comment count compared to other instances. It's neck and neck to lemmy.ml currently, but I also expect that many people who left reddit over the API thing will ultimately go back in a month.
