I’m guessing the influx comes from their members browsing All by ‘New Comments’

I don’t know why you would guess that instead of the more obvious answer of them actually systematically co-ordinating their posts to actually brigade. They always appear in groups larger than their subscriber numbers in communities outside of their own instance. That is their entire MO and reason for federating.

As they do. They are not very bright, but they certainly are invested in proving themselves to be the assholes people call them out for being.

The removed comment is made by a user from another instance. You seem to be very intent on creating the narrative that the users on that particular instance are split (and you are being very arrogant about it as shown in one of your other crossposts), when so far you have posted no evidence of that being true whatsoever.

And again, as others have commented, this is how federation works, if people disagree too much with the admins decisions they can freely move to another instance where those decisions no longer affect them.

Nazis are right wing in a European political context, that is not really a discussion in academia. This has nothing to do with current American politics, this is established history.

The only people claiming that they are left wing are right wing fascists who tries to distance themselves from the term (while doing everything in their power to emulate them), and that is done by both European and American fascists.

There are other possibilities:

butter/olive oil

wine/beer

wheat/rye

Other traditional historical culinary divisions of Europe are beer/wine and white bread/dark bread (or wheat/rye).

Most also doesn’t. It’s just the tankies who does that. Many of the Lemmy devs are tankies, and the instance they set up lemmy.ml is as full of tankies as lemmygrad. So many of the popular communities hosted there will have a heavy tankie slant.

In the wild tankies are a fringe minority, but for these particular historical reasons, Lemmy has had a disproportionately high amount of tankies who have been dominating many communities. I think with the reddit influx their hold has somewhat diminished, and it should continually do so as the amount of Lemmy users grows.

Of course it is trollbait. There is no part of the tattooing process where this would have gone unnoticed by the recipient.

Worse. They have been very busy accusing librarians of being pedophiles and “groomers” on account of the existence of books mentioning LBQT+ subjects. They have literally shut down libraries by cutting funding for them on account of that.

If they haven’t even logged in to their account once then any (highly unlikely) false positives of real accounts getting deleted will be an acceptable loss.

Yeah, it was aptly called thesefuckingaccounts. It did much good work to fight the incessant bot spammers and scammers, although probably just a drop in the ocean in the big picture that has become the cesspool of reddit interaction (mostly with the full compliance of the reddit administration).

That’s not really true though.

OP do you perhaps use a non-Chromium based browser? Because their adblock blocking is only active on Chromium based browsers.

Yeah, more like that early Wild West pioneering feeling of the early days of the internet, this feels more like a bunch of tourists moving from their previous fully equipped hotel because of a shitty management to some new hotel which is still partly under construction and everyone, including the management, are still trying to figure out where everything belongs.

Tankies, famous for never lying.

When the discourse is defaulted to English, you end up with users who are either native English speakers and people using English as a lingua franca.

But that is the thing, this assumption is most likely not correct. The second half of it is (which you didn’t mention in your original comment), but the first part is largely untrue.

Your assumptions are incorrect. There never were a vast majority of American users, and English based sites doesn’t necessarily attract people who speak English as their primary language. The world knows (except for perhaps some Americans) that English is the lingua franca of our day, so English being used in a website doesn’t say anything at all about its geographical or cultural makeup.

It is a stupid argument anyway that fundamentally ignores the entire concept of the internet being global and universal. If a site is aimed at a global userbase it is mostly completely irrelevant (except for legal purposes of course) where that site was originally created or where the servers are located.
