In an attempt to better understand Lemmy I’m wondering if some of you can shed a light on what the deal is between.ml and .world. The history, any significant event or a betrayal, how did we all run away from spez only to come here and throw mud at each other?

I’m sure it confuses a great deal of Reddit refugees who just signed up with the largest instance because of (in my case future proofing) reasons.

I’m wondering how this historic feud came to be and how I can be called a “Zionist” just because of my instance, and they are called “fascists” even though I’ve come across some pretty levelheaded people from that instance too.

Please, keep it civil!

I’m not trying to start a fight or mud slinging, it would be good if several people could say their piece and nobody shame or attack them for it no matter how much you disagree.

Thanks

    “See, the problem is, that this is the fediverse,” the Cat said. “You are now among weird people.”
    “But I don’t want to be among weird people here,” OP remarked.
    “Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all weird here. I’m weird. You’re weird.”
    “How do you know I’m weird?” said OP.
    “You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”

      “Fish!” said Cat.
      The machine responded, “Today’s fish is Trout a la Creme. Enjoy your meal!”
      Cat then said, “Fish!”
      “Today’s fish is Trout a la Creme. Enjoy your meal!” said the machine.
      “Fish!” exclaimed Cat.
      “Today’s fish,” said the machine, “is Trout a la Creme. Enjoy your meal!”
      Cat replied, “Fish!”
      The machine cheerily replied: “Today’s fish is Trout a la Creme. Enjoy your meal!”
      “Fish!” Cat repeated.
      “Today’s fish is Trout a la Creme. Enjoy your meal!” dutifully replied the machine.
      Once again, Cat cried “Fish!”
      The machine again said, “Today’s fish is Trout a la Creme. Enjoy your meal!”
      Said Cat: “I will!”
