Lemmygrad, lemmy.ml and hexbear in shambles.

Oh hexbear too? I have noticed a lot of questionable posts coming from there

Yep. Just red through some of the comments on lemmy.ml for this news and compare it to the instance of the accounts. https://fedia.io/m/worldnews@lemmy.ml/t/597721/Sweden-officially-joins-NATO#comments

lol reminds me of when it was explained to me that Russia is an Asian country and if I supported Ukraine it meant I was racist against Asians

That doesn't make any sense on absolutely every level. lol

They will then post an article talking about Russia “reclaiming” its Asian-ness and another that says that it was Asian all along. Then they will downvote you into negative double digits while explaining how horrible a person you are

PS I actually moved here after many months of it. Had no idea what “ml” meant. I joined there because it was the dev instance.

The devs being tankies was one of the reasons why I went with kbin / mbin over Lemmy. It just didn't sit right with me. But I also couldn't stand the layout / design.

I wish I had known! I really do. But I’m here now and it’s ok. This instance is full of nice people for the most part, it’s like 2005-era social media again.

Yeah, that's some fun logic. A equals B, and B equals C, so A equals C. But this isn't math and subsets aren't totality. So hating Russia for warmongering isn't hating Asians for being Asian.

Yiikes the comments there are so toxic its crazy. Glad I've got those instances blocked.
