The socialists are the native inhabitants of this land, the Redditors are the ruthless imperialist colonisers.

I'm half-Redditor, half-socialist. I hope I'm still welcome among those with a pure socialist heritage.

He says that because the creators are tankies and so were the first communities built around them like .ml administrated by the creators. Last year's Redditors migration after the API change moved the political center more towards social democracy and the people center towards .world.

Indeed, but the old tankie instances still exist, same as always. The centrists went elsewhere, to non-tankie instances that were set up for them.

Colonization involves taking somebody else's land, but this is more like creating more land out of thin air and settling there.

I think those people consider the Lemmy federation to be their playground, and they are being xenophobic about others, but since there is not supposed to be xenophobia in their ideology, they call it colonialism instead.

Or maybe the Redditors are refugees and the lemmy nativists have convinced themselves they are eating their pets.
