It’s funny how things turned out, Lemmygrad.ml was one of the first instances to ever federate with Lemmy.ml
Same admins…
But they are technically run using different usernames. And I don’t think the devs ever confessed to running lemmygrad (please correct me if I’m wrong). Honestly, unless we get them to admit it, we don’t yet have 100% proof that the devs actually run lemmygrad, it’s just speculation based on various anecdodal evidence. (Is there solid proof? If so, can someone please post such evidence?)
They are the same people. And its quiet obvious. There is no other reason why lemmyml still federates with lemmygrad, every major instance blocked them.
lemmy.world still federated with lemmygrad 🤔

Aside from it being “obvious,” is there proof? Not defederating is not a clear indication or proof in my mind.

I’m not disputing that it may be true. Just curious what the actual evidence might be.

Weren’t they both pointing to the same server at some point or was that incorrect?
I actually don’t know. And I’m not sure that would prove who the current admins are, and whether they’re one in the same.
It’s the same picture
If there is one small, tiny thing that many leftists and rightists can agree on, it's fuck tankies.
Fuck authoritarians, whether they consider themselves left or right.
Except right wingers LOVE them some authoritarians. Which is why they “back the blue”
Curious if you could elaborate. Authority is complicated. Perhaps you should read this relatively short text by Engels.

Don’t tread on me things
