    Oh no, not the downvotes. Anything but the downvotes.

    Are you 12? Do your parents know you’re online without supervision? Maybe they should explain this federation thing to you.

      Bullying game is weak, bro. Welcome to the Eternal September. Hilarious that you think Lemmy.ml is immune to defederation, too, just because a developer is a tankie and you rats have been enjoying your little cesspool corner of the fediverse. It’s almost like you don’t understand this whole federation thing. There are more decent instances than there are putin-apologists, get used to it.

          Looking at your username and profile, same lol. Yeah, eternal September is a phrase that means something to those of us that have been on the internet long enough to know how communities migrate.

            i’m well aware of what the eternal september was, just commenting here that if you think a couple radlibs coming to lemmy for a few days before the reddit thing dies down and then melting down over checks notes communists existing is going to be anything other than an opportunity to make fun of you guys you’re delusional lol

        Your best insult is to threaten me with downvotes (which don’t do anything on Lemmy, maybe you would like to read the documentation, there are even pictures to make it easy for you, and we’re working on a kids’ version written in a nursery rhyme, maybe that one will be more your level!) and then do “no you” lmao

        Yeah, I’m not worried about the “migration” if you’re the best they got 😂

          Lmfao you’re not worth my best insult. I’m just sitting back watching all the new users join and laughing at you and yours. But keep defending authoritarian dictatorships 🤡

            “I-I totally… totally have a comeback! I just- I just don’t want to waste it on you! 😭”

            You’re tripping over yourself, it would be best for you to save face and disengage before you ridicule yourself any further.

                Do I seem mad to you? You’re the only one here becoming more unhinged and foaming at the mouth with every new comment. I’m perfectly calm.

                Nah get fucked tankie fuck

                Was that your best insult? You know there are more words on Urban Dictionary than fuck, right?

                  Comrade, this individual clearly has a humiliation fetish. I’m not one to kink shame, but if you’re going to engage with this master baiter, wouldn’t it be better if you take it to the DMs?

                  It’s like that saying, if you fight with a pig in the mud, he will enjoy it. Anyway, not trying to kink shame. He is clearly enjoying it, though.

        It’s almost like you don’t understand this whole federation thing.

        If you defederate from communists it just means that you don’t see their posts. Other people do though.

        When people defederate others with the goal of political manipulation (as you are implying is a good thing) it means that communists get to refute your comments and you don’t see them, but others do.

        All you do is take yourselves out of the conversation.
