not different at all; they're doing the exact same thing and i think it's a testament to the fediverse's design that people with such diametrically opposed world views can exist on the same social media platform.

also, look at the toxicity being leveled at me here for my comment and coming from trekkies no less; the pot is calling the kettle black here.

consuming social media for the last 35 years or so; and ESPECIALLY with reddit; has taught me how to tolerate shit takes and high levels of toxicity and i think that's enabled me to see to how the discourse is happening in the entirety of the lemmyverse and the people who are putting themselves into a bubble through defederation are missing out, which will ultimately drive them away because it's choking off activity in the communities inside those bubbles and i think that the lack of content is going to drive away more people than any tankie ever could.

star trek matters to me and i want this instance to stick around; that's why i'm trying despite the toxicity and the bad faith arguments presented here.
