    no we don't, you're just mad you aren't the noblest position possible and you lash out at us when we critique you from the left.

    liberals have universally allied with fascists over communists. the liberals in the Weimer Republic put Hitler in power, to give but one example. Churchill admired Hitler.

    Both liberals and fascists agree that capitalism is the bee's knees, they agree that most things should be privatized, they agree that people must be exploited by an elite. There's a common saying - "If you scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds," meaning that the second you exert even the slightest violence towards liberals or threaten to do so, they suddenly turn into fascist monsters, seemingly out of nowhere! Macron in France is a good current-day example - the riots have prompted him to turn France into ever more of a police state in which the pigs have unbelievable powers and surveillance. When America has been provoked by actions (many of which didn't even actually happen, e.g. the Gulf of Tonkin, the Nayirah testimony, etc (or those that did happen but didn't need to provoke an entire invasion in response, like 9/11) they start wars that kill hundreds of thousands, even millions.

    It's actually hard to describe exactly where liberals and fascists have opposing beliefs sometimes. I suppose where they differ is whether the cruelty should be more obscured or more out in the open? But you have to understand, the political dichotomy isn't and has never been "liberal vs conservative", because of those are on the side of the bourgeoisie in the class war. It's communists vs capitalists, and liberal, conservatives, fascists, even the more left-wing people in the American establishment like Warren and Bernie are on the side of the capitalists. We hold fundamental political beliefs that differ from liberals. Liberals do not differ in fundamental political beliefs from fascists. It's also why accusations of "horseshoe theory" are so hilarious to us.

    especially from people who lib is the far right

    Liberalism has always allied themselves with the far-right as an ideology that protects capital. We just know this because we read/study theory and have kept up with things going on around the world what with "liberals" and the "right" being quite similiar in views, especially recently. That being said,

    How exactly is "active" measured?

    Logged in? Commenting? Posting? Net time spent on Lemmy?

    I feel like the metrics need to be a bit more refined to actually make a qualified statement.

    I cross posted this because I felt like it somehow belonged here. Now I see your point, I look at the site and nothing state how are computed the metrics, this should be clarified in my opinion (now the stat site is open source so you can check yourself if you want).

    I switched off of world because I got tired of my feed only working about 30% of the time. It had been extremely normal, to the point where I can't recall the last bit of downtime. Don't underestimate the ability to actually view content on lemmy as a driving factor here...

    predicatble: lemm.ee is reliable: on the other hand shi.tjust.doesn't.work, and feddit.de has that walled garden beehaw vibe to it (tight moderation). i would predict discuss.tchncs.de would grow if it maintains good uptime record. also external factors could affect ranking like legal prosecutions when caching illegal content and ddos'es, like the other instances cant do much about those either

    I migrated from lemm.ee a little while ago. I really liked it, but it got too popular and I'm hipster. So I gotta be unique with my new cool club instance, literature.cafe
