Such people aren't fans of the sport, they go primarilly to cause trouble in a group.

I think that's football fans in general to be honest.

Monthly Active Users (MAU) is probably the best metric for the health of Lemmy. A lot of these instances that are shutting down may be single-user instances or ones that people spun up just to mess about with them.

However, please donate to your instance if you can, it doesn't have to be much :)

Beehaw gives me weird, cult like vibes. You MUST be happy and positive, or you're OUT. I'm probably entirely wrong, but that's how they come across to me when I started looking into their rules when I thought about creating an account.

It could be useful to link to some relevant communities in this posts description if people do want to ask questions.

Probably about 2 minutes, but usually I never have to queue.

Seriously, it seems like their election campaigning goes on for years. I dunno how the yanks don't just get fed up with it.

Three crashes and they've also been leapfrogged by Alpine in the standings. What an absolute disaster for them.

That's fair enough. I haven't blocked hexbear or lemmygrad as it's kind of entertaining from a morbid sense. But lemmy.ml tries to masquerade as a generic leftist instance but has insane admins and moderators who have absolutely no interest in having other people's views on their their instance.

They're tankies, they're pro-Russia, pro-China (to a bootlicking degree) and pro North Korea. Basically anything anti US/west.

They've been slurping up Russian propaganda and try and argue that the pro-EU demonstrations in Ukraine in 2014 was some kind of CIA op (because the notion to them that people would willingly choose western ideals is inconceivable) and that Ukraine is full of Nazis and Russia are the good guys defeating Nazis.

I'd strongly avoid blocking the Lemmy.ml instance in your settings. Hexbear and lemmygrad are also similar instances to avoid.

@WestBromwich@feddit.uk did you even know you'd been banned due to this comment?

Absolute masterclass from Max. Was just leagues above everyone else.
