Wolfballs and exploding-heads didn't show up as a response to lemmy instances, they showed up in response to big tech censorship, which we have a lot of evidence was being heavily manipulated. As I said in my initial post, wolfballs was created and shut down before most of the big lemmy instances today even started, and exploding-heads was started before most lemmy instances existed.

I'm not saying that the US government did the DDOS attacks. I doubt the US government was the cause of shutting down wolfballs or exploding-heads except insofar as the establishment powers that be took advantage of idiots being tribal to push their pet policies to the exclusion of any others (which too many people fell for and continue to fall for hook line and sinker). Another form of attack is the omnipresent risk of cancelation hanging over anyone's head who isn't in line with the current orthodoxy.

I'm not letting you guys win because I think these replies are attacks, but because lemmy has become so ideologically homogenous in part because reddit became so ideologically homogenous. What's the point? I already know what you're going to say because it's one big groupthink that at one point I was myself a part of (along with most of society), so there's no benefit to it. I'm seeking truth, and there's nothing new to be found in arguing with people after I've been saturated in their unconvincing arguments for years. So you win, yep, stupid me.
