      they explicitly state what they think “flagship instance” was being used to mean 3 years ago. i clearly used it with a different definition. your link is worse than irrelevant: an argument that relies on it falls prey to a logical fallacy called equivocation.

          and this meme smacks of an appeal to ridicule. it doesn’t make what you said any more true or undermine the strength of my position. it’s pure rhetoric.

            I’ll say it again though. If you can prove to me that Lemmy in it’s entirety needs to maintain a leftist focus then I will delete my account. You can be the one to do that Bigmouth. I will even post my hog before I leave as is tradition.

              more appeal to ridicule

              > prove to me that Lemmy in it’s entirety needs to maintain a leftist focus

              no one is saying that. i’m saying you knew what you were getting (or you know now), and whining isn’t going to change it or make anyone sympathetic.

                So is your answer

                A. Lemmy is inherently leftist therefore I need to not expect otherwise

                B. I need to stop whining, this is how FOSS works

                C. All of the above

                Is this correct?

                  mostly a

                  I’m not going to tell you you need to stop whining, I’m just saying it is probably falling on deaf ears at best, and likely is actively bothering some. but you do what you want.

                    Okay. Why is Lemmy.world defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad if lemmy is inherently leftist? Why is beehaw defederated from lemmy.world?
