I’ve seen several references to some sort of rift between the users of these instances today. What’s happening?
Centrists on .world periodically pick an instance to their left and designate it the “tankie” instance. They won’t rest until we’re only allowed to say nice things about genocide.
World users are just mad that the lemmy devs use ML which means they can’t verifiably call them uneducated morons, and ML users are mad that the World users are just smart enough to know the difference between socialism and communism that they won’t just auto buy into it lol.
ML is run by heavily-indoctrinated communists. They’re the type that straight up worship communist leaders.
lemmy.world is kind of run by pussies. They blocked the piracy sublemmy for no real reason other than that.
It doesn’t surprise me they are butting heads. Hopefully the instances that allow interaction with both instances triumph over those that try to restrict access.
They’re the type that straight up worship communist leaders.
I wouldn’t phrase it at that. They’re fans of Russia, China, Iran, and pretty much any other country that’s antagonistic to the US. This regardless of whether said state is communist, especially Russia, which has become fascist under Putin’s rule.
In short, the .ml owners are tankies
The stereotype is that Lemmy.ml wants to play with Stalin’s balls. Lemmy.world wants to play with, I don’t know, Obama’s balls? With Bernie, Bill Clinton, and Reagan watching from the corner?
Something like that, anyway.
I block ml users on sight so I didn’t even notice

I’m very glad I do not know what ML is, it sounds annoying.
Left or right…it’s just a bunch of individuals with opinions and/or groups with agendas. The instances themselves have become “sub-reddits”.
