short version: well it was in the early months of the ukraine war, and some terminal brained liberals who were there started getting really angry in the news articles. Every news post had 50 or so comments at least with Yogthos and the others (I was there yay im so cool im like the best and smartest) basically predicting how the ukraine war would turn out with lots of sources whos predictions were a mirror image of how the war is turning out now (marxist leninists stay winning). This got some folks really, really mad, so they decided to find and hide in a ‘free speech’ instance, beehaw. The biggest immigration to beehaw were people part of the massively pro-ukraine crowd. They had nazis and turbolibs joining hands and frolicking into the sunset. Beehaw and lemmygrad were basically enemies for a bit, vying for political dominance now that lemmy.ml couldn’t ban them for whitewashing nazis and the like, but Lemmygrad has since grown far beyond such losers.
It was a collection of events over the course of twoish months, with like a one and a halfish month stalemate period.
Thank you for helping me understand the basics and giving me the clues to dig further when I have time.
irl, I’m a Sweetie, the “let’s make a nice place for nice people” stuff appeals to me because the world is so full of meanness and cruelty. And then the layers get peeled back, and oh look, this is also mean and cruel, just in a totally different way. 😑
and I’m autistic and a lot of stuff just flies over my head unless someone is kind enough to explain it to me - thank you. ❤️ I really do appreciate your time.
