      Lemmy.ml users should be glad we think you’re bots. See, it means we think you’re too smart to believe the kind of things you guys tend to say. You should take it as a compliment.

        I’m just a reddit hater and early adopter, my post history is free to view. I bet it would stop the pigeonholing a bit.

          Okay well just so you know, I think admins of all the cool instances should defederate your instance, so you might want to grab yourself an alt before your feeds go dark.

        This is just xenophobia but based on a server of origin rather than a country of origin.

        Are there many accounts on .ml that spout utter shite? Yes. But the same can be said for many servers.

        Does that mean you should espouse hatred towards every account on .ml? No.

        As Samsy said, post history is free to view. Along with comment history and even vote history if you can be bothered. The algorithms used to sort posts on Lemmy are available to look up, they’re pretty standard algorithms based upon up/downvotes, time, and comments. Twitter doesn’t have that openness, it manipulates the feed based on whatever they desire to rise and fall.
