    I don’t understand the mentality behind this. Is it just a case of “They’re doing a thing so we’ll do the opposite”? What exactly is the goal here?

      That’s pretty much been the entire conservative movement’s MO for 30 years now.

      undefined> “They’re doing a thing so we’ll do the opposite”

      That’s their gameplan most of the time.

      Opportunism - they just want to profit from the black out to push their own sub. As often, the conservative principles (or in this case rules) are not so important if you can gain any success by ignoring them.

      I think they hope all the other opinions will go away and they’ll get their favorite thing, an echo chamber.

      I don’t hate it. I’m sure some truly vile shit will get posted. Might be enough to get them banned off the site lol.

        Again? The real nutballs went off to form patriots.win, after they hilariously lost their preferred domain name in an act of negligence (and/or ignorance.) I could see them pulling the same trick again, forming up a Lemmy node that no one else would federate with a 10’ pole.
