Ha! I just found out that the neonazi Lemmy instance shut down. In August. We were defederated from them, so I don't expect anyone will have missed them.

I feel like I missed out on something. There was a Neo-Nazi instance? Not surprising I guess, but whoa.

I love it when people scream free speech. Like yeah buddy, you do have free speech. But I also have free speech to tell you you're being a cunt!
