I was here before all that. I hate opening lemmy and seeing the same posts and libs ranting about same shit.

    I expected shitty liberal takes.

    I didn’t expect them to be that formulaic and repetitive with their passive-aggressive “totally not mad” smuglord delivery style that most of them had in common.

    I find it funny that

    It’s interesting that

    It’s hilarious that

    I like it that

    I love it that

    It’s almost as if

    if they post that way they can always seem smugly above it all, especially when delivering some “you are deranged/unhinged/delusional” zinger toward anyone to the left of Pete Buttigieg, sometimes topped off with a “WHO HURT YOU?” for extra condescension. smuglord

      Good point - someone with a lemmy account can transfer to more sane waters much easier than someone who’s got their roots down in reddit

    I honestly think that, as “default” instances like lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works start taking on a more defined political identity, we’ll start to see a more stable Fediverse environment where those sorts of politics are contained to their home instances, while niche-related instances (programming.dev, ttrpg.network, yiffit, etc.) are mainly focused on hobby discussion.

    All the enlightened grandstanding centrists kind of make me cringe at times along with all the defederation drama
