Just like Facebook, Friendica also has a sort of activity center where you can see all previous notifications. It was ~2 years ago when I first discovered Lemmy. Back then, .ml was the most active instance, with Beehaw on the rise as well. I remember I started by posting in non-political communities at first, and nothing bad happened. But the moment I started to show them how brainwashed I was by Western Imperialist propaganda (sic), they immediately resorted to downvoting all my posts and comments like crazy - be them political or not. Below there’s a screenshot with my beloved Russian Government shill living somewhere in the West, Yogthos gave me a downvote (dislike) to a post I did in a test community. Don’t even know why they bothered, since neither Lemmy and especially Friendica do not have imaginary points for activities on posts and comments. But there’s that, lol.
Oh, is it the same guys running the Piefed?
I will be moving on from everything Lemmy associated. I don’t want to be connected to those wannabe fascists in any capacity. I just don’t use social media enough to care right now. I’ll browse Lemmy a couple times a day, when I am in the bathroom or waiting in a line or whatever, but it rarely gets much more out of me than a spare minute here and there, so I haven’t really cared enough to put time and energy into decided where I am making the jump to.
Maybe I just swap over to the Piefed instance and be done with it.
