I'd say a lot of users, perhaps even most, on lemmy.world are just fine, but I've seen some wildly bad behavior from their mods (e.g., one of their politics mod making a mod-flaired comment about how "The United States is not a racist nation," like what)
Lmao what? The heart of the global empire is somehow not racist now, despite all the evidence to the contrary? After all the police killings of unarmed black men, how can anyone believe that?
Probably the same type of person who'd complain about reddit being too "left leaning." We're not talking about people with a reasonable or healthy array of takes.
Deploying Cloudflare as a "temporary" measure, only to never remove it, makes me pissed. Cloudflare was originally Project Honeypot that aligns with NSA's job.
