It’s usually the first listed in any guide on how to start using Lemmy, so it tends to get a lot of new-to-the-fediverse users. It’s presumably where I would have ended up, if there wasn’t a country-specific instance for me
Anything that suggests you believe the current state of the world is acceptable outs you as a lib. Saying things like “Yeah Biden’s got some problems, but at least he didn’t do a few of the things trump did.” If you believe that things would have been fine were it not for trump, you’re a lib. Or a moron, I cant always tell the difference.
Heres a great summary of liberalism: “If we put forward good policies into the politics machine, then other people will too, and because I have absolute faith in the system established by a bunch of slave owners, whatever comes out MUST be just and good.” Which of course implies that if the result you want or need DOESNT come out of the politics machine, it is right and just that you should not get it.
Like, they fundamentally don’t realize that the politics machine is capable of breaking, and that it has been broken for a LONG time (basically the moment it was asked to value the needs of someone who wasn’t wealthy, white, and male.)
Influx of libs. It’s a sign of success for the platform, but holy fuck lemmy.world posters are annoying
“.ml keeps saying things I don’t like, defederate!”
Take a step back and see that you are involved in a discussion about another group doing exactly what you’re doing in your current discussion.
Lmao wow
Sure bro. That’s why in this 3-deep comment chain we’ve called for the defederation of .world six times and called them all explodinghead alts.
Definitely not just your projection at work.
Hmm… Today I learned that lemmy.world is the biggest Lemmy instance.

What sort of things out them as “libs”?
Hmm. Let me check my inbox. One lib is complaining about leftists. Another is talking about “harm reduction” in the context of genocide
I don’t know if I want to know more about this second person… I’m gonna go with not
Edit: i shouldn’t have scrolled further
