Our instance is only defederated from one other instance and it's lemmygrad. My question is why? It doesn't seem like a hate group or anything as far as I can tell. Can someone fill me in?

I hope I posted this to the right place; still getting used to how lemmy works. If I should post elsewhere, let me know.

It's a pain in the arse when people make sweeping statements like that.

I see myself as an extremist, self described as on the radical far left. However I'm no way a tankie obsessed with Stalin and Mao and certainly not about to pretend genocides weren't committed.

There's certainly takeaways from Stalin and Maos and the ideology they moulded, but too quick people jump to their defences but equally any communism is instantly shot down as crazy.

Guess I'm rambling now. Basically in summary, you can be an extremist on the left that isn't authoritarian whilst still wanting everyone in society to have a fair share

Tbh what you're describing isn't extremism, but quite based. It only seems extreme because everyone has drifted so far right that any kind of leftist talking points are framed as being externe.
