I don’t really think you’ve captured communism: Cuba isn’t.

Communism has never yet been achieved, as any communist government will tell you. Socialism is a transitionary step toward communism. You can’t go to bed in a capitalist state and magically wake up to a classless, stateless society.

China has been moving away from communism for decades.

If you think that then you have not been paying attention to what’s been happening in China for the last decade.

Russia rejected the Communists for the Bolsheviks

The Bolsheviks were the communists! Come on. Maybe pick up Wikipedia or an even better wiki on the topic: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_the_Soviet_Union

If you’re really upset by it you can filter lemmy.ml which is gonna be the main source of left wing posting.

That's true for you, anyway, because your instance is defederated from lemmygrad and hexbear.

Communists believe that socialism is a transitional state from capitalism to communism, but 1) communists aren’t the only socialists and 2) a lot of Americans think milquetoast social safety net capitalist reformers like Bernie Sanders are socialists despite them never calling for the abolition of private ownership of the means of production.

Those states would agree that they have not achieved communism, and they would agree that they are authoritarian, namely the dictatorship of the proletariat. Lenin, 1917, The State and Revolution

By that logic Europe’s and everyone else’s Russian oil & gas purchases are helping Russia’s war machine.

I see. It look like it was added a year and a half ago: Add Modlog Filters #2313

I checked the 12 most popular instances, and only lemmy.world and lemmynsfw.com seem to have ModId enabled, so perhaps the default config setting is to disable it. This is assuming that it’s a config thing at all, but the only other possibility would be that those two sites share forked code.

Filtering by “ModId” must also be a config option: lemmy.world’s modlog page has a “Filter by mod” drop-box, but lemmy.ml’s and lemmy.sdf.org’s don’t.
