I've noticed the same thing. I do think part of it is .ml has been accruing users from other, more widely defederated instances like lemmygrad and hexbear.

Trolls want an audience, after all.

The Department of Education is being dismantled.

All the photographs nominated this year were fantastic but I'm happy to see this one win. It was definitely my favorite.

After months of posts about the "Democrats being complicit in a genocide," I'm not going to pretend that "don't let fascism win" was somehow the standard they were being held to.

We all knew well ahead of time just how much worse Republicans would be.

all because the national Democratic party failed us

Democrats are held to a higher standard than Republicans even by people who claim progressive ideals.

Every Juggalo I've interacted with (sample size of 3) has been the kind of person I'd definitely consider an ally.

Potentially not representative of the greater community, but I've yet to experience anything to the contrary.

Actually indistinguishable from Truth social.

You're only making one person look silly, and it's not them.

I've never been one to outright support vigilante justice on account of believing that everyone ought to face the same trials and go through the same systems to ensure justice.

I'm not an idiot, though, and I realize a system where our rich are held accountable to the same degree as our poor is incredibly unrealistic/borderline impossible.

"When peace is impossible, violence is inevitable." Paraphrasing, but given the system we find ourselves in, this was just a matter of time.

God when did racism, homophobia, and misogyny become the new opinions you can hold instead of developing an identity

Honestly? Maybe sometime around mid-late 2015 after Donald announced his first run for president.

The moment he was taken seriously, it emboldened all the chuds.

Upon further thought, I believe that year also marked the start of what led to Brexit as the UK Conservative Party won a majority. Not a great year.

It'll be great to actually play Drunken Master Monk instead of just being an Open Fist Monk who drank all the time.

I'd be willing to bet a significant amount of the downvotes stem from this meme being nearly indistinguishable from something that gets posted on Parlor or Truth Social.
