For all the newcomers that aren’t aware, I just stumbled upon this insane drama.
Apparently lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] is the result of a reddit sub ban of a
bunch of pro-china bots who vigorously defend the Chinese government, and the
two top admins are also the top devs of the Lemmy source software. Pretty
terrible stuff! The linked thread is full of their insane ramblings and
denialism Edit: I seem to have been blocked from commenting, all my replies are
timing out now. But I wanted to say that I don’t intend to make this post as an
“anti-lemmy” thing, I think the truth should burn brightly in the sunlight. We
should try to continue to grow Lemmy (especially since we’re the largest reddit
clone) while calling out their propaganda and hidden motive. Edit2: turns out I
can comment, I just can’t reply to kbin user comments from my instance. Just
spins indefinitely.
Best part, another commie server (hexbear) is soon joining the lemmy fediverse and lemmygrad is already mouthwatering at the idea of brigading lemmy.ml
Hexbear is known for an endless supply of train drama.
"After they got banned from reddit, they were on discord for a while, where I became a regular poster in the trans channels, and there’s some old bitterness between the entire trans community of that era and Hexbear, with 90% of us (the trans community) being banned for complaining about a moderator who was grooming in the subcommunity.

commies ready to brigade
Sounds like a solid community to join the fediverse. The lolcow milk will flow.
Dam well it’s nice to know that we aren’t the only ones who can tell lemmy is crazy over the top liberal
