    Oof, the article goes on to say all the platforms failed. X just failed a bit more.

    This is going to lead to some “well, they’re all about the same.” discourse shenanigans.

        I gotta say, I am pleasantly surprised by Lemmy. I almost never see anything but antifascist allies, and when I do those allies jump that motherfucker’s shit.

          Lemmy has it’s own dens of awful that simp pretty hard for dictators and some pretty shitty regimes

          Luckily my instance is defederated from the worst one (IMO)

          Lemmy is definitely a lot more accepting of queer people though which I really dig
