I got front row seats at watching that community just degrade into full reddit lib territory. I remember when I first joined lemmy, and if I said I was a socialist over there it was taken mostly in stride. Now it’s just reddit.
For a period of time I kept a secondary lemmy account on .ml , mostly for posting on things we were defederated from, but I have more or less abandoned that account. It was bad for my blood pressure.
I’ve had my account on lemmy.ml for years now, and I also feel that it turned into a whole different community over the past few months. Now that hexbear is federating at least that keeps libs in check a bit. It’s pretty hilarious to watch the meltdowns they’re having over the fact that their view is no longer the majority.
Libs think that “the enemy” is automatically worse in every single way. So if they hear people talking about corruption in the US military, the enemy military must be even more corrupt. Good guys win, bad guys lose, the west are the good guys and Russia are the bad guys, therefore Russia is losing, which means every lost Ukrainian must mean a hundred lost Russians, Russia is just lying about their losses. They live in a post-truth world where things are decided by vibes and not by reality.
Unless you’re a lib. They are still at “Russian army is trash” even after 1,5 years of Russia destroying every weapon NATO send there.
some impressive brain rot in that thread, here’s another banger thread https://lemmy.ml/post/4384049
I see world news on lemmy.ml is indistinguishable from reddit now
Yeah, unless something make to the top feed on hexbear and they join, it’s cesspool identical to r/worldnews
pretty much yeah, I gotta say the meltdowns when hexbear joins in are absolutely hilarious to watch

One of the top comments is talking about how much corruption there must be in the Russian military to waste so much of their budget.
They must think the entirety of the US military budget is used for exactly the things it is earmarked for.
