    Oh no, not the downvotes. Anything but the downvotes.

    Are you 12? Do your parents know you’re online without supervision? Maybe they should explain this federation thing to you.

      Bullying game is weak, bro. Welcome to the Eternal September. Hilarious that you think Lemmy.ml is immune to defederation, too, just because a developer is a tankie and you rats have been enjoying your little cesspool corner of the fediverse. It’s almost like you don’t understand this whole federation thing. There are more decent instances than there are putin-apologists, get used to it.

        Your best insult is to threaten me with downvotes (which don’t do anything on Lemmy, maybe you would like to read the documentation, there are even pictures to make it easy for you, and we’re working on a kids’ version written in a nursery rhyme, maybe that one will be more your level!) and then do “no you” lmao

        Yeah, I’m not worried about the “migration” if you’re the best they got 😂

          Lmfao you’re not worth my best insult. I’m just sitting back watching all the new users join and laughing at you and yours. But keep defending authoritarian dictatorships 🤡

            “I-I totally… totally have a comeback! I just- I just don’t want to waste it on you! 😭”

            You’re tripping over yourself, it would be best for you to save face and disengage before you ridicule yourself any further.

                Do I seem mad to you? You’re the only one here becoming more unhinged and foaming at the mouth with every new comment. I’m perfectly calm.

                Nah get fucked tankie fuck

                Was that your best insult? You know there are more words on Urban Dictionary than fuck, right?

                  Comrade, this individual clearly has a humiliation fetish. I’m not one to kink shame, but if you’re going to engage with this master baiter, wouldn’t it be better if you take it to the DMs?

                  It’s like that saying, if you fight with a pig in the mud, he will enjoy it. Anyway, not trying to kink shame. He is clearly enjoying it, though.
