I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone
there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB
enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides
proving my point Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to
scare me to take this down
A .ml account. I did have an account on communism.lemmy.ml too, but I basically only used it pre-federation and when the federation was having issues. Once the federation was reliable I was browsing lemmygrad through .ml entirely.
I’m having a lot of trouble parsing what you’re saying here, to the point where I’m wondering if we were talking in different directions earlier in this thread without realizing it.
I’m pretty sure the genzedong ban I’m talking about was around late 2021/early 2022 timeframe, so that had made its mark on the lemmy culture well before the time you had joined.
The federation issues I’m talking about were the inevitable issues going from federation not existing to testing it out for the very first time. Lemmy in 2020 and maybe up to early 2021 was disjoint sites with no federation at all working yet. Not 100% that I’ve got accurate time for federation beginning (or anything else really), estimating based on getting my account mid 2020 but I know I was lurking for a good while before. I’m generally not enthusiastic registering new accounts anywhere, and no big issues with lurking, so while it might have only been a few months I was lurking, it could have been as much as over a full year before I actually got an account to participate myself.

Totally disagree on this point. You’re right that it wouldn’t make sense if that were true.
