@lina Their one saving grace is that they generally keep to themselves. They probably aren't even aware that they are part of a larger network. The only Minds user I know of that actually engages with us is that Swiss Libertarian person who worships jews and thinks that Hitler was a gay commie.
Though I think the worst part about Minds federating is that it broke the search functionality on here even more. I can't search for anything anymore without the results being nothing but their longposts containing their QAnon, doomsday prepper, schizo bullshit.
@lina I bet most of the users just treat it as an RSS feed. I bet all the e-celebs who use it are being paid to do so because I don't know of a single person who uses Minds legitimately. The only person I know of who actually preferred Minds over Gab was Dave Cullen from Computing Forever and I haven't heard of him since the scamdemic.
