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 reddit-logo 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 pigpoop 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.

    lemmy.ml probably won't defed so we'll get a slow drip of new libs from that more than likely, even if everyone else did

      It was a little of shock but to see so many comments telling me to vote for Biden and Dems coming from a nominally ML site.

        A good chunk of people have no idea, they just know that it is the instance managed by the main devs.

        I believe they're nominally "leftist" administrated by an ML.

        It's run by MLs but they have allowed libs in so as to not hurt the project as a whole.

        They've said they're more comfortable as devs than as admins of such a large site

        Well they apparently haven't defedded with Nazis, so that kinda indicates maybe they're into freeze-peach and wouldn't defed. On the other hand you know how libs can be (.world was more eager to defed us than they were with Nazis before)

        Fuck I hope not, I chose it for the uptime and amount of federated instances. I left .ml and lemmygrad because they were down too often for me. :(
