    I have gained a lot of sympathy for the comrades who post here from lemmy.ml. That place is rancid holy smokes, the entire thread is full of some of the most bazinga brain libs I’ve seen in my life. Extremely weird understanding of politics, double standards for what counts as censorship, absolutely 0 effort to try to understand what Dessalines is trying to say, no consistency in terms in general. I’m so glad I only have to see the 1/400 people that come here rather than existing in that space. Literally worse than /r/neoliberal.

      Yeah, it’s like they left reddit because it wasn’t reddit enough for them. No idea how anyone can tolerate putting up with them, though those that do, do great work, I’ve seen a lot more lemmy accounts actually learning stuff thanks to them.

        i was a reddit refugee and now they’ve made me a lemmy.ml refugee; why can’t they just go back to digg or myspace or something?!

      Thanks comrade. It’s honestly more depressing than rage inducing to me nowadays, to see so many people that deep in propaganda.
