With previous Rexit's like the API debarcle etc. many users were left looking for an alternative, but with decision fatigue and bad UX etc. most did not find the Fediverse a viable option.

What needs to still improve, how can we be ready this time?

Let’s be honest, go to any left wing party and you’ll see most people are dating liberals hahaha

Many leftists started out as liberals, it makes sense they’d believe others could also change.

My wife started out with tons of republican views, she just didn't vote ever.

Through conversations about the state of things, poo ting out hypocrisy, and validating the feelings her religious family was telling her to suppress, I'm happy to say I've managed to marry a leftist. She didn't even really have the liberal pit-stop many of us take.

I'll take 100,000 leftists married/dating/whatever to 100,000 liberals over 200,000 conservatives any day of the week.

This sounds hilarious! Thanks for the good laugh!

But it is as legit as anything haha, leftist here married to a Christian conservative (at least she doesn’t vote lol 😶‍🌫️) and yes “I can change her” is definitely on my mind.

Those are irl, whereas the toxic AF perpetually online among us here (e.g. hexbear and Lemmygrad and lemmy.ml) are likely not dating at all.

What’s the deal with lemmy.ml by the way? I know a few marxist-leninists IRL who, as you say, are quite normal.

Is there beef with that .ml instance on Lemmy? I’m new here as you can see.

Please explain your definition of toxicity. Or maybe you just did

You've just posted a great example.
