To be fair, you have to have a very high amount of beans in order to understand Lemmy and Fediverse. The memes are extremely subtle, and without a digital grasp of software engineering, most of the code will go over a typical Fedi-user's head. There's also Lemming's anti-fascist outlook, which is definitely woven by its leftist characterization. Its community draws heavily from Leftist Literature. Leftists understsnd this stuff; they have the emotional capacity to truely appeciate the depth of these memes, to realize this isn't just memey- it represents the shared humanity of all (almost all) Fedi-users. As a consequence, those who dislike the Fediverse truely ARE lazy bastards that can't do 5 minutes of duckduckgo'ing to read a wikipedia page explaining how this shit works- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in the fediverse's egalitarian catchphrase "Eat The Rich" which itself is a cryptic reference to Jean-Jacques Rousseau's French phrase, which translates to: "When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich". I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those fascists and "centrist" right-wing-sympathizer dipshits scratching their heads in confusion as the genius of our decentralized leadership reveals on the open source code on their computer monitors. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a ACAB tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the rebel's eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 EQ points of my own (preferably higher) beforehand.
