MODERATORS
This is a federated cross-platform social network (hi from Mastodon, by the way), not one platform operated by one person with one ideology. No one is native or a colonizer here; those concepts aren't even meaningful here.
He says that because the creators are tankies and so were the first communities built around them like .ml administrated by the creators. Last year's Redditors migration after the API change moved the political center more towards social democracy and the people center towards .world.
Indeed, but the old tankie instances still exist, same as always. The centrists went elsewhere, to non-tankie instances that were set up for them.
Colonization involves taking somebody else's land, but this is more like creating more land out of thin air and settling there.
I think those people consider the Lemmy federation to be their playground, and they are being xenophobic about others, but since there is not supposed to be xenophobia in their ideology, they call it colonialism instead.
