Source on the "1973 marathon" bit? According to her Wikipedia page, she was a middle distance runner, and she seemed to have competed in only one race without proper gear (in 1972).

Good catch. Many of these .world posts are Facebook-tier

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And many .ml posts are 4chan tier.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

And many .zip posts are compressed.

Why do you feel that stereotyping Lemmy users according to the instance they signed up to is okay?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He's from .ml, that's why.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

That's the one instance I judge people for being from.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

I think that's fair. I was originally on ML until I figured out what they're all about. Then I deleted my account and came here.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

.ml and Hexbear are the only acceptable instances to judge people for being on.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

There's others, but p.much everyone is defederated from those.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Yeah, it's almost like they have a prejudice against cum farts originating with satan, or something.

Sorry, I know that's not related, but I still get a laugh out of your user name every time I see it.

I think it’s a reactionary response to people (fairly or not) stereotyping .ml users.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Reactionary is when you react.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And I am saying stereotyping .world users as “Facebook” level is a reaction to people stereotyping .ml users.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Doesn’t the ML literally stand for Marxist Lenninist? Or am I finding meaning where there is none?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It may in context stand for Marxist Leninist. I don’t know. I myself am not a Marxist Leninist nor am I a fan of how Lemmy.ml is run.

Do you like how .world defederates left wing instances

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

For me? Yes. But this is the fediverse. We all choose our instances based on the rules therein. If I wanted a space that was federated with them I would move to such an instance.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 months ago

I figured :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don’t see any defederation from left-wing instances. I do see defederation from pro-authoritarian instances.

Look at that, you’ve stumbled into a moment of self awareness.

You can't judge a place you've never been to, that's what people in Russia do

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

are Russians so keen to judge Ukraine? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Of course they think it's okay to stereotype, they're from .ml!

/Yes that's sarcasm

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No one forced you to be here.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago

sorry to interrupt your poorly researched meme content

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago

Yeah, says she was a middle-distance runner here too. Believe OP, or whoever OP got it from, got a bit confused as to the details of a marathon, which are specifically long-distance.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If you've already looked it up, please share the link (next time) so we don't have to also look it up. I'm not going to look this one up, because I don't really care about it, but I would have clicked the link.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

She has a happy and proud look on her face. Good for her!
