    OH MY FUCKING GOD, these fucking people are the ones who complain about “tankie” censorship while simultaneously banning anyone who doesn’t adhere to their anticommunist unfalsifiable orthodoxy. They use the same talking points all the time, which we’ve debunked COUNTLESS TIMES, and REFUSE to listen to any points we make. It’s really hard to interact with people when they themselves are the ones who’ve been poisoned by so much propaganda they automatically refuse any good-faith discussion.

    I have gained a lot of sympathy for the comrades who post here from lemmy.ml. That place is rancid holy smokes, the entire thread is full of some of the most bazinga brain libs I’ve seen in my life. Extremely weird understanding of politics, double standards for what counts as censorship, absolutely 0 effort to try to understand what Dessalines is trying to say, no consistency in terms in general. I’m so glad I only have to see the 1/400 people that come here rather than existing in that space. Literally worse than /r/neoliberal.

      If a website (like Twitter or facebook) make money off ads and our posts bring viewers to ads then yeah us posting creates value in some way for the capitalists who own the websites.

      I don’t think lemmy has ads though? I never see them if it does.

      Wtf was their point anyway? “You claim to hate capitalism, yet you participate in capitalism. Curious!” posting? Classic reactionary dipshittery

        Lemmy has no ads whatsoever, it’s FOSS. Some Lemmy apps do, like Sync.

        Their point seemed to be that the devs are actually hypocrites and admins are basically bourgeoisie.

      When this site launched our slur filter even did substitutions. It would replace things like “Israel” with “Occupied Palestine” and “North Korea” with “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.” We figured out that had to go as soon as somebody tried posting “Death to Israel.”

      The old boogymen of Hexbear and Grad are invisible, so .world will saber rattle from time to time. .ml believes in an interconnected fediverse, so they don’t plan on defeding, and .world wants to maintain their image of being impartial.

      I imagine eventually the contradiction will be resolved and some inciting incident will leave us with .world defeding and a multipolar Lemmy arising.

        Honestly if the Lemmy creators are ML I don’t understand why they don’t just tell .world to fuck off. They’re not constructive to have in the fediverse and all they do is lower the quality of the place while spreading red scare style disinfo.

          Dessalines said it’s because they value an interconnected fediverse, and believe in the long run it will be better to not defed from any major instance, despite the skirmishes.

          I largely agree, if Hexbear and Lemmygrad can’t serve that role or don’t want to, it’s good to have at least one major instance to expose libs to Marxism. Even if my experience would be better on Grad or Hexbear, I still like being able to try to lead libs to theory.

            they sound like a better person than i.

            i left reddit because i couldn’t stomach the absurdity and now my stomach hurts from seeing yet another rally cry for defederation on lemmy.world and i find myself wishing that they would.

          Pretty sure one of the lemmy devs did tell them to fuck off but it was the beehaw admins who were acting like they were customers and the devs own them updates

          Thats why there was a push to get people to support sublinks because they think that building a fediverse forum from zero in java is easier than leaning rust and supporting the evil tankie devs
