Welcome! We've got memes on deck at !memes@lemmy.world and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful !science_memes@mander.xyz or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like !science@mander.xyz and !astronomy@mander.xyz . !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.
We're not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian "communists" who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the "gold standard"), but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a .world account so you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
In terms of sorting the "tankie triad" least bad to worst though it's definitely: ML, Grad, then HexBear. At least I sometimes have decent interactions with people from ML, can't say the same about the other 2 though.
Edit: Actually put this as a reply to the correct comment this time. :/
I deleted the other one as I replied to the wrong comment.
We have an entire instance dedicated to popular 1960s television show Star Trek (don't go there)
aka where the good posts are hidden, if you want news outside of the mainstream liberal echo chamber a lemmy.ml account works well
so basically a right wing propaganda/astroturf instances, no thanks had enough of that on reddit.
They're actually mostly anarchists/communists, so left wing
^ one of the bigger Tankies around, "good posts" aka anything pro-CCP, pro-Russia, pro-NK and nothing not
Anything otherwise is considered "liberal"/Western propaganda/"CIA something or another"
Just wait till they break out the random blog links and YT videos lmao
And you’re the biggest anti-communist “leftist” around.
NOoo TAnKiES AREN’t CoMmUNISt They’RE AuthoritArIan. Every time you say that you only show your ignorance. Read an actual book, or stop talking nonsense. Stop trying to fabricate a pacifist communism, and just admit that you are anti-communist full-stop.
Ah ok, so if authoritarian communism is the only form of communism that exists then eroding human rights ever further in the pursuit of it is A-OK then?
Sorry, I don't subscribe to that, I personally would love to see the fall of capitalism in my lifetime, but not at the sacrifice of basic human rights like freedom of speech and inviting even worse censorship.
Rosa Luxemburg, Reform or Revolution
Hmm yes, century+ old books that predate the CCP coming into power by like 25 years and well before modern age concerns like the power of the internet could even be imagined
Y'all keep arguing theory with books that are incredibly dated and blog posts based on that dated info when most of us are talking about what the Chinese and Russian governments are doing today.
