In an attempt to better understand Lemmy I’m wondering if some of you can shed a light on what the deal is between.ml and .world. The history, any significant event or a betrayal, how did we all run away from spez only to come here and throw mud at each other?

I’m sure it confuses a great deal of Reddit refugees who just signed up with the largest instance because of (in my case future proofing) reasons.

I’m wondering how this historic feud came to be and how I can be called a “Zionist” just because of my instance, and they are called “fascists” even though I’ve come across some pretty levelheaded people from that instance too.

Please, keep it civil!

I’m not trying to start a fight or mud slinging, it would be good if several people could say their piece and nobody shame or attack them for it no matter how much you disagree.

Thanks

You have an account 2 years old so either you are trying to start something or a complete moron.

    Not everyone lives on Lemmy and/or lets internet drama live rent-free in their head. I’ve been on here a while and I’m only vaguely aware of inter-instance drama. I know everyone hates .ml, but like OP I’m not sure why. So, maybe, don’t be a dick?

    As an aside, do you remember the days of !fediverselore@lemmy.ca? I think there were a solid chunk of people on Lemmy that lived for the 'net drama, grudges, trolling, flamewars and squabbling between instances, users and everyone in between.

    It was petty more often than not, but I won't lie, sometimes those threads got kind of interesting to me.
