        i’m still convinced that .world was either a psyop or became a captured instance to ensure that as few defecting redditors join any of the pro-leftist instances as possible.

        it’s the only thing that explains why it was so heavily promoted on so many subreddits instead of lemmy.ml when it had nothing to offer at the beginning of the reddit protests and why there was a coordinated effort to defederat the leftist core instances throughout the lemmyverse.

        now piefed is getting that same treatment from reddit and they literally used the same pics as before, but edited out .world in favor of piefed

            i used to wonder if this made me a conspiracy theorist; but the whole tiktok situation combined w watching the cartel humiliate sheinbaum on social media as they retaliate for the us empire’s directed assassination of el mencho has convinced me that they’re not above using all social media platforms to maintain their grip on the narrative.

            and they’re really good at it too; they must have learned a lot from the tiktok/4chan/reddit man-o-spheres.

        says a .ml user

        (obviously not all .ml users are bad, many sign up without realizing that .ml has a bad reputation, but .ml is pro-tankie and the admins are tankies)

        you are correct, .world is too reddit-like
