You might not be an idiot, but you're wearing a T-shirt that says "I AM AN IDIOT" in bold letters across your chest. Maybe change your shirt. 🤷🏻‍♂️
i've created this alt in the interim of finding a more permanent instance residence. Just got exhausted by the massive amount of shit they peddled over there.
It literally does though. I stopped telling people that I use Lemmy as a result. When some instance defederates from ML and establishes itself as being solid, I'd love to tell people irl that I use that.
If you are trying to say not to paint people with too broad of a brush, I get it, but also, we don't get to choose how others think of us, only what we will do in response.
