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

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

[–] mholiv 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] feedum_sneedson 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Reactionary is when you react.

[–] mholiv 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] mholiv 2 points 6 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

[–] mholiv 3 points 6 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.

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.
