I've seen several references to some sort of rift between the users of these instances today. What's happening?

Visit ML before any major Western election and browse by Local (its default) and you will easily see: ML calls for the literal and actual fall of all Western civilization including the deaths of most to nearly all peoples therein.

Whereas LW does not want that, go figure. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

ML calls for the literal and actual fall of all Western civilization

for the record when people say 'Death to America' it's wishing an end to the American government and its settler-colonial state apparatus.

Concern about the 'fall of Western civilization' is more often than not a dog whistle signalling reactionary politics.

also this isn't limited to election seasons, death to america
