And yet you will be overrun until lemmy.ml stops accepting new sign-ons, and the new users are all going to continue calling out and outvoting you and yours. You'll be downvoted to oblivion. Because we're not going anywhere, and there's more of us than there are of you.

Oh no, not the downvotes. Anything but the downvotes.

Are you 12? Do your parents know you're online without supervision? Maybe they should explain this federation thing to you.

Bullying game is weak, bro. Welcome to the Eternal September. Hilarious that you think Lemmy.ml is immune to defederation, too, just because a developer is a tankie and you rats have been enjoying your little cesspool corner of the fediverse. It's almost like you don't understand this whole federation thing. There are more decent instances than there are putin-apologists, get used to it.

It’s almost like you don’t understand this whole federation thing.

If you defederate from communists it just means that you don't see their posts. Other people do though.

When people defederate others with the goal of political manipulation (as you are implying is a good thing) it means that communists get to refute your comments and you don't see them, but others do.

All you do is take yourselves out of the conversation.
