But now I see so many paranoid hexbear users talking about "the federation" as if it were some kind of historical event with great significance; almost like how Palestinians talk about the Nakba. Why is that?

It's tongue in cheek, mocking the hysterical libs who can't process actually sharing an online space with leftists.

Oh, I hope it is! But even if it is, I think there are much better ways to approach that. But yea, what happened to lemmy.world, is indeed super unfortunate.

What happened to Lemmy.world?

What you're talking about ... takeover by hysterical and authoritarian libs.

And btw, I'm not talking about a "critical mass takeover" it's from the admin; sort the comments by top to see the disagreement.

Ah OK. Yeah that's unfortunate, but I suppose all the reddit refugees who wanted another reddit have to go somewhere.

yea, but this is what will bring failure over the whole idea of "fediverse". so just enjoy while it lasts and stop building cultlike echo chambers.

Hey, I don't disagree.
