I was in an argument on lemmy.ml the other day and didn't realize. (Not even lemmygrad.)
They were saying the US must drop charges against Assange because First Amendment.
I was arguing that's a legal defense to present in court and got down voted and eventually deleted.
Like what, you think you can whine at a government enough and then they'll just ignore their entire legal system?
They want what they want and they want it yesterday, damnit!
The thing I didn't know at first is that the reason it's lemmy.ml is because they wanted to be up front that it's "Marxist/Leninist".

I don't think they're as overtly tankie as lemmygrad or beehaw, but, yeah... it's kind of baked in.
I fucking hate all these trendy uses of country codes. I just assumed it was based out of Malaysia or something.
I've also noticed that users of shit.just.works are apolitical assholes, which belies that they aren't apolitical in the first place. And it's a stupid name.
Edit: I didn't mean for that to link.
Mali, not Malaysia. Malaysia is .my.
