Our instance is only defederated from one other instance and it’s lemmygrad. My question is why? It doesn’t seem like a hate group or anything as far as I can tell. Can someone fill me in?

I hope I posted this to the right place; still getting used to how lemmy works. If I should post elsewhere, let me know.

      Oh I know how that goes. You start with people knowing it’s ironic then it gets filled with people who don’t know they are being made fun of.

        Hell, the entire Flat Earth thing started as a joke. Just a bunch of people going “wouldn’t it be funny if we started memeing about the earth being flat?” And now here we are a few years later, with flat earthers launching rockets into space and subsequently disregarding the results that they get.

          Creating a conspiracy theory for people to go down such as FE harms society. It causes people to fall into other conspiratorial ideas and those inevitably lead to anti-semitism.
