why yes i want my totally independent website to join network of dozens of shittier websites so that we can aggregate the content from my website into a shitty reddit clone and have the entire site shut down because one unpaid moderator decided to cut a single string and block half the sites from even working.

yes i dont understand how it works, do you? does anyone understand what the fuck even happened?

      Wouldn't comments on local posts from non-local users still show up? We'd still have to be subjected to a barrage of libs calling us tankies.

        Don't you remember when Chapotraphouse would summon libs for bullying?

        At some point, someone's gotta code a lemmy nword count bot.
