I defederated lemmy.world because I don't feel like hosting and re transmitting US propaganda.
It is kinda surprising how much obvious propaganda makes it onto Lemmy, for example those memes that aren't really memes as much as "haha this opinion wrong"
This is a very political place, even compared to Reddit where there's a shitload of politics
I think it's just as much a hivemind if not moreso than Reddit. Also, probably way easier to make bots for too
The cycle of a specific comm on world
we only allow memes here
points out posts that aren't memes
stop asking us to follow our rules
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lemmy itself is largely made up of Communists, Anarchists, and liberals fleeing Reddit.
As a consequence, there's a lot of Communist agit-prop, and a lot of reflective panic on the hands of liberals.
