Hey there,

I'm a refugee from Squabbles/Squablr.co.

I didn't care for the recent changes to the TOS nor the "free speech site" dog whistle announcement.

I really liked the lack of downvoting there, so someone suggested Beehaw.

I've been slow to give Lemmy a try. I read that the founder developer and current owner of Lemmy.ML is a "tankie" - a European communist extremist.

Is it possible with my Beehaw account to filter lemmy.ml out and is it something I want to do?

I'm not familiar with subject driven fediverse social media yet.

Happy weekend to all

You’re not wrong about the tankie thing, I’d say it’s the major conflict in the “threadiverse” right now.

That is GOOD to hear. I came across a post on Reddit about the founder a few months ago. I posted about it on my Mastodon account and got some crap from some guy about it, but that was about it aside from apathetic responses. I got the impression nobody cared.

Thanks for the very helpful information.

This is the nicest reception I've gotten on any platform since Reddit diaspora.

Fediverse people can be... territorial. I try to counteract it where I can, especially for newcomers. Welcome and you're welcome!
