My favorite theory is that they realized their similarity to hexbears and tankies and joined that chapter of 'people who can't handle living in a mixed society'.
That's ... both sides, all sides, isn't it? Specifically for exploding-heads, there were numerous and loud calls on multiple instances to defederate from them.
Are you for real? You do realize that "mixed society" is referring to actual real life, right?
That wasn't clear to me. I thought this was about siloed lemmy instances, hence I talked about that.
I don't see how their comment makes sense from your perspective. Can you explain? According to that theory, where did the exploding-heads people go, joining the people who can’t handle living in a mixed society in real life? Do you mean they stopped using the internet or how does that help to explain the observation?
I read it as saying that, despite having ideals on two opposite ends of the spectrum, they've found "common ground" of sorts, in a community full of people who can't handle living in irl "mixed society."
In other words, they're the only people willing to put up with similar behavior to their own I guess? This is all speculation, I haven't seen what those instances look like these days and don't really have any interest.
You can always check context before typing, just saying.
