the other guy is right, insufferable, there's a reason no one wants to talk to people like you. It's like Ben Shapiro and a communist manifesto hate fucked and then was given internet access. You really need to brush up on the Gish Gallop article

Lemmy itself is fine, people are more worried about the lemmy.ml moderation practices since it's one of the bigger instances.
It's just another UI basically. I like Kbin a lot more than Lemmy aesthetically and it was easier to get used coming directly from Reddit. Also early on there was only one instance (there's like 3-5 now? I'm on Kbin.run) so it was a lot easier for people who didn't understand how it works to use.
No I never implied that at all (that'd be like linking the history of the word Yankee would imply that I support the British rule of the American colonies), I said here is the history of the word, which does have that history. I'm not a fan of all the shit the US does, especially the CIA. I actually never implied one thing or another besides saying where the word came from and what it's evolved into today. I honestly have no opinion on the origin of the word, but what it's used for today is perfect. It even fits perfectly to evoke images of the Tiananmen Square protests, which when I heard it originally is what I would have assumed it meant. Honestly getting so bent out of shape about this word is just odd to me, if you support this stuff wear it. Quit picking teams in your politics, seriously the whole "but actually the killing of those people was good because my favorite government did it" gets old whether it comes from the US or China

Here's a list I used to find kbin.run, it's a little barebones right now but the UI is really familiar as someone who used Reddit a lot. It is mostly centralized to kbin.social right now, as more instances pop up and the main instance fixes federation it should sort itself out as long as it keeps momentum.
If by try you mean constantly twist words sure. It's like you didn't even try to read anything I said then typed "high school debate club edgy communist" into ChatGPT
