Welcome to lemmy newbies, here is your first official feud post.

Solidarity amongst the instances! We will not be divided!

I'm not gonna be equipped to make a nuanced and detailed take right now but in my experience hexbears are alright, fun to talk to, I can learn things from them, and at worst they're spicy.

didn't realize that reddit actually did me a favour by giving me the boot. lemmy is way better

[–] Generica@lemmy.world 44 points 3 days ago (12 children)

OMG. I just discovered Lemmy yesterday after being a Redditor for a decade. I deleted my Reddit account after the insane level of suppression I've endured over the past year and was all set to go cold turkey when I found out about Lemmy! Praise the sweet lil' six pound, eight ounce baby Jesus!!

Authoritarian bootlickers is ironic, while at leats the Americans are watch their country go full authoritarian fascist right now.

And actively defend when their preferred side talks about having the biggest military budget and loves war as a method of spurring the economy!

Is Lemmy.ml really that bad? I haven't spent enough time on lemmy to know yet.

[–] verdigris@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, if you're pathologically afraid of actual communist theory.

Yes, go post anything negative about China and it'll be removed under Rule 1 guaranteed

Go post about tiananmen square or the uyghur genocide or even just you don't feel like people are very free in China with all the censorship

ETA:

Oor even that Russia invaded Ukraine unprovoked, that always gets them lmao

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

You could also check out !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

But you'll need to look at it off the .ml instance because .ml blocks that comm specifically (talk about censorship lmao)

If I were criticizing various nations more than the U.S., I wouldn't shame people for "authoritarian bootlicking". Glass houses and all that.

[–] Saint_La_Croix_Crosse@midwest.social 22 points 2 days ago

And critically, not just since Trump. As soon as the ink dried on the Nazi surrender, the US and OSS/CIA armed and funded every fascist they could find since fascists are the most dedicated anti-communists.

In the past week I caught a 7 day ban for "misinformation" (x3, then for reposting a link to the mod logs, "skirting the rules", "repeated offenses" etc.) from /c/WorldNews for accusing Democrats of being complicit in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. An actual fact - tens of billions of dollars in arms sent to an ongoing genocide/ethnic cleansing by Biden. No problems like that on lemmy.ml. That really says it all for me. Lemmy's basically just a fediverse reddit, with the same mod structure - if mods abuse their power, and admins don't keep them in check, it's time to ditch the instance.

By the way, Lemmy itself was created by Dessalines, the admin of lemmy.ml. Who I collaborated with briefly on building some of the UI that you're using right now to read this. Very thorough guy.

.world needs a targeted marketing campaign, we just need to point to the very public mod log. The mods at .world do all the work for us lol.

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 days ago

I caught a 7 day ban in microblog memes for "whataboutism" after I pointed out that leftists were not responsible for the democrat's loss, their actions would have been wildly unpopular whether we told them or not.

"Tankie Triad?" Really? This is just McCarthyian LARPing, you don't have to constantly saber-rattle towards the Marxist-friendly instances.
