With the Reddit and Twitter drama my secret suspicion was that our billionaire overlords decided we had too much collective power and that they had to fragment us.
Our response to their fragmenting was to fragment into tiny spaces and then communicate with one another.
And now that fragmentation is not enough so we must fragment more until our billionaire overlords are satisfied that each of our tiny collectives have no ability to communicate with one another or organize to prevent them from doing any evil thing that they want to do.
Congratulations we've all been played. Good game, see you on the next go round.
I don't think you understand what's happening: lemmygrad.ml and Hexbear are two awful Lemmy instances to which every other instance is pretty much defederated at this point. This doesn't affect anyone but the users of those instances. This is not some conspiracy against Lemmy, and I don't see any reason why Lemmy would be a victim of such a conspiracy, it's not big enough for social media companies to care
lemmygrad.ml is a real instance full of tankies. Lemmy.ml is the flagship lemmy instance run by the developers. It's a bit communist flavoured compared to Reddit, but because so many people use it, not really.
