Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Kind of amazing how many instances are blocking lemmygrad as soon as they're created. I know that liberals really don't like dissenting opinions but goddamn

No, it looks like Fedi.tips is driving people away from the software Lemmy, because they have ethical issues about not censoring Lemmygrad's userbase and the devs' ideology.

As it says on the homepage sidebar, lemmy.ml isn't a flagship instance, and I'd expect better from an account calling itself Fedi.tips. They've just thrown Beehaw and sopuli.xyz and all the others in the same bucket.

Oh no the existence of communists having an instance is keeping people away from the project, why am I not suprised

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you look at Mastodon and Mastodon adjacent services, the mainstream is full of self-righteous imperialist liberals but despite that there is still a healthy section of genuine anti-imperialist instances which thrive and provide safe spaces even though there is some degree of ostracisation. So that tweet is not surprising at all. I am more surprised to see westerners not having brainrotten takes.

Do you know are there any ML friendly Mastadon Instances?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

toots.matapacos.dog is run by @[email protected] from hexbear and is accomodating towards MLs.

It also has about 1500 of the Hexbear emotes, but I have given up on categorizing them.

Another thought, should I just make a lemmy.ml account?

We don't block anyone except instances that are purposely built to troll, or from which we've had trolls before (sometimes they're left unmoderated) -- but the latter we unblock if they contact us and took care of the spam

Communists stay on top 😎

shakes fist BEEHAW ... and other instences in your vain that are painfully liberal, but they all feel almost exactly the same so ill just call them all part of the beehaw colony

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Lol well beehaw is completely down right now, just completely flat on the ground dead, nothing is loading.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (37 children)

I know I'm beating a dead horse but I find it funny that beehaw claims they want to "help to connect underprivileged and minority individuals with education and civic participation by promoting a healthier online experience.". Meanwhile all marginalised minorities flock to communism and lemmygrad and their admin team is white person, white person, and white person.

The 'fediverse' and all this talk of decentralization being great for leftist organization completely falls apart when the aspects most benefitted by decentralization is immediately delisted/blocked by libshits.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The way I see it, this isn't really a step backwards. On the centralized platforms, our communities get banned and their ashes get scattered to the winds. On the fediverse, we get blacklisted by large instances operated by liberals, but our communities remain intact and can still network with one another directly. We are also protected from ideologically hostile admins quietly picking off our comrades one by one.

Yeah, won't be able to reach those types online, hence why real world praxis is necessary too.

It doesn't matter. The more people who use Lemmy, the more people will inevitably find Lemmygrad posts

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's more so just annoying having to check people's handles to make sure I'm not wasting time writing a reply out that they won't even see

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Especially too when they have usernames that obscure the handle, and or it goes to an instance i have not heard of yet

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This, when I first entered Lemmy just as an FOSS alternative to reddit, I also thought that those Lemmygrad people are taking things too far. Now I consider myself ML and really enjoy the community here.
