Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible

  Not all of us are tankies fwiw, I just wanted to be on the largest and most well-supported instance with generally the least amount of downtime.

    Isn’t it lemmy.world?

    source

    • ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      That one isn’t the largest, no. The largest is .ml and it’s run by the two Lemmy maintainers.

        I am confused, every statistic of .world seems bigger. What am I missing?

  And all the Zionists from Lemmy.World…

  Oh wait you can’t call those out. Only insulting other instances!

    It’s crazy. Almost like we all have the freedom to say whatever the fuck we want, including complaining, because we fucking can.

  • oce@jlai.lu ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I’m not from .world also complain about it sometimes. In my opinion, it’s a legitimate reason that makes Lemmy less attractive, as a consequence, you have to set up blockers to keep your sanity.

    They heavily biased towards China and Russia, two countries with fascist governments. That kinda speaks for itself, even if they claim to be communists or socialists.

      They share the same positions on global politics as pretty much every Marxist-Leninist political party on the planet. You may not like those positions, but trying to characterise them as actually far-right extremist is absurd horseshoe theory nonsense.

      Liberals & social democrats on lemmy.world acting like NATO, the US Democratic Party, and capitalism are the real bulwarks against fascism is amusing.

        The guy punching me clearly espouses a pacifist ideology, so calling him violent is absurd horseshoe theory nonsense.

        Once you get into Leninist territory the difference between the far left and the far right blurs into meaninglessness.

        Stalin made a deal to carve up Poland with Hitler

        Steve Bannon cites Lenin as an inspirational figure.

        Communist regimes have historical brutally repressed religious, sexual, and racial minorities.

        I could continue but you get the point. People obsessed with control and domination always end up acting the same

      Don’t confuse authoritarian regimes with fascism. China is an authoritarian state running a diluted version of communism, but it’s not fascist. Russia under Putin is leaning more towards fascism these days for sure, but they’re not fascist outright yet.

      Maybe what the hexbear folks gravitate around the most is the idea of authoritarianism. The flavour doesn’t matter as much.

        a diluted version of communism,

        Is there still something communist in their economy? Are the people working 9 am to 9 pm 6 days a week, owning their means of production?

  Lemmy was better before the Reddit exodus last year, when people started insulting others by calling them tankies and fascists. Before that, it was much more peaceful.

      No chance that is an alt account?

        No chance whatsoever to hold alternate accounts on this federated social media website that are all incapable of account consolidation like reddit can /s

    It was still full of tankies though, lemmygrad was the second biggest instance and you’d see it everywhere

    source
  • Rhoeri@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    They were tankies and fascists before anyone ever came here and found out that they were.

    Calling them such didn’t create them.

  Having those arround adds some flavour to my feed. I’m like “ooh so that’s what they are up to” I wish that smaller communities thrive but well.
