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

On stuff outside of lemmygrad, we are receiving a lot of hate, especially by those who just moved from Reddit. Guess they lost their hidden privilege at Reddit as their rhetoric used to be almost universal over there, while genzedong and our other subs get censored and banned. And now, on lemmy, their stuff isn’t universal, as we are more prevalent here. Seems like they really want that hidden privilege back

dear comrades living and dead, please help give me the self control not to try arguing with all the "Lemmy is anti human rights" takes polluting the fediverse rn 🙏

I deeply care about human rights

Must be one of the most nebulous and abstract things you can stand for. What rights? The right to die on the street? The right to monopoly?

The right to be airstriked by NATO peacekeepers, duh

outrage liberals are the worst

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

Just write one response and reuse it, and then don't engage further unless it's in good faith.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Yet they still join, are briefly outraged, and then do nothing but complain

I wonder if it's struck them yet that, as their neoliberal platform fails, other platforms built on fundamentally better ideas and infrastructure are rising up. I wonder if this challenges their preconceived notions at all? Nah, it's just a bunch of tankies.

It is definitely inducing cognitive dissonance. The developers are simply are communists trying to collectivize social media, and that will live in their heads rent free as long as they stick around.

Most of these so called "libs" were probably just doing what they saw everyone else do. Now, "everyone else" means something different here. If I were them, I'd honestly pick up a book and skip the embarrassment. This is a learning opportunity.

Just you wait until US newscorps start advocating to ban the entirety of lemmy and its source code from the USA.

obviously the Chinese are making us all think for ourselves and talk amongst ourselves.. there could be no other answer

"China is a censorship dictatorship and we should ban all things that come from there to protect our free speech." liberals probably

That post on [email protected] got me fked up because one of the comments there was like “authoritarian communism” is an oxymoron actually 🤓 and another was like “Marxism is not materialism” and it had double digit upvotes.

Like jesus WHAT THE FUXK are you on about. Read Marx and Engels. Read Lenin.

It’s like arguing with toddlers.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You lost them at asking them to read. They do not read.

Read Marx and Engels. Read Lenin.

Marx is a tankie, Engels is a tankie, Lenin is a tankie.

Everyone click on the All button and start participating in federation.

Worst thing that can happen is the liberals complain.

But if you're going to be participating on lemmy.ml please don't make the admins' job harder, respect the instance rules. They're already working overtime to handle the influx of new users across the software.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

I’ve been browsing lemmygrad near daily for over a year now and had never clicked the All button lol there is a whole lot going on out there, fediverse is pretty cool

Man.. I haven't been on reddit in quite a while but I don't remember it being such a shitlibfest. It's really bad and it pretty well overran lemmy.ml immediately.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

It puts me in an odd spot because I care amd believe in Lemmy as a project and I want it to grow, but on the other hand it was kinda nice to not be called a fascist... because im a communist... because that somehow makes me the antithesis of communism

Reddit tends to ban commies. It's like a mini red scare: with the left removed, the right thrives.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago

The really good news is that all the communities on lemmy.ml have been created long before radlibs showed up, and are administered by sane people.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They were in used that every time that they denounced our political-conscious content, reddit ultra-politicized mods acted in instants censoring and banning, but here there is not systematic persecution of ideas, at least in most of fediverse, so they have to cry a lot... Maybe in contemporary world liberalism is only a superficial denomination of anti-communism.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (41 children)

Lemmy.ml banned my account there lol. Why are they so concerned with a little bullying of liberals?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago

Lemmy is tone policed... apparently except when someone is calling us "red fash", that's not bannable.
