New account but I've been using burner accounts and lurking since the sub got banned. I've been seeing all the standard liberal brainworms again for the first time since 
and everytime it's an account from another federation. I was tepidly against federation at first but this has been entertaining, like the old days of 
people who wandered into the sub.
I gotta imagine this will only last another week before everyone defederates us, but let's enjoy it for now.
I blocked the memes comm on lemmy.ml and that did wonders for my experience; blocking certain comms can make a huge difference if you don't want to go as far as switching to Local but can't stand shit like garbage-tier Reddit memes.
