    Source on the “1973 marathon” bit? According to her Wikipedia page, she was a middle distance runner, and she seemed to have competed in only one race without proper gear (in 1972).

        Why do you feel that stereotyping Lemmy users according to the instance they signed up to is okay?

              I think that’s fair. I was originally on ML until I figured out what they’re all about. Then I deleted my account and came here.

          Yeah, it’s almost like they have a prejudice against cum farts originating with satan, or something.

          Sorry, I know that’s not related, but I still get a laugh out of your user name every time I see it.

          I think it’s a reactionary response to people (fairly or not) stereotyping .ml users.

              And I am saying stereotyping .world users as “Facebook” level is a reaction to people stereotyping .ml users.

                Doesn’t the ML literally stand for Marxist Lenninist? Or am I finding meaning where there is none?

                  It may in context stand for Marxist Leninist. I don’t know. I myself am not a Marxist Leninist nor am I a fan of how Lemmy.ml is run.

          Of course they think it’s okay to stereotype, they’re from .ml!

          /Yes that’s sarcasm

      Yeah, says she was a middle-distance runner here too. Believe OP, or whoever OP got it from, got a bit confused as to the details of a marathon, which are specifically long-distance.

      If you’ve already looked it up, please share the link (next time) so we don’t have to also look it up. I’m not going to look this one up, because I don’t really care about it, but I would have clicked the link.
