      Yeah, you’re black mold. Noxious, only able to spread in the absence of honest attention and sunlight, and frankly embarrassing. What are you going to do about it?

            Run out of town as the migration continues? Do you… not understand how the fediverse works? Do you not understand you’re posting on lemmy.ml right now, and lemmy.ml will never defederate from my instance, lemmygrad.ml?

            You’re not on Reddit anymore, and I would be happy to give you the crash course.

              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.

                    Your best insult is to threaten me with downvotes (which don’t do anything on Lemmy, maybe you would like to read the documentation, there are even pictures to make it easy for you, and we’re working on a kids’ version written in a nursery rhyme, maybe that one will be more your level!) and then do “no you” lmao

                    Yeah, I’m not worried about the “migration” if you’re the best they got 😂

                    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.

                Uhh, you have -9 and literally nobody has upvoted you.

                And why are you obsessed with internet points rather than actual correctness and education?

        It’s not like these old users were not fighting to protect your freedom of speech, by creating an open-source federated social network or anything. Yet you use that same freedom of speech they enabled for you against them on the same platform they created. Everyone here will fight for your right to do so, btw, but I just wanted to point that out.
