I've not been here long, but I'm curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.

Yes it's full of liberals now this used to be a leftist safe zone. Soon they will be mods and any dissent will result in permant ban

Edit: libs proved me right so fast check those salty replies bet they even Reported me. Healthy discussion involved some heat love y'all

What? The whole point of Lemmy is to be defederated. A leftist safe zone still exists, they have their own instance.

The leftist safe zone is and always was a lie, anyway. They're just fascists LARPing as a communist vanguard.

I wasn’t gonna start a fight here though lol. The entire place was infested with tankies. The dude I responded to is probably a tankie.

I laughed when the complaint was liberals invading Lemmy lmao.

Vanguard ideology is the weakest point of Leninism. It always attracts those seeking power. But there’s nothing stopping a leftist group from owning a lemmy instance and banning everyone that disagrees with their flavor of leftism.

I have never once met a person who talks like this who has also made a good faith effort to under Marxist thought. Why are you so confident? We've been around for hundreds of years, we have a lively and robust intellectual landscape, and calling us red fash without even making an attempt to hear us out hurts you more than it hurts us.

[–] gullible@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Communism is decent, tankies rarely are. Zealots in general are awful, in my opinion, but especially political zealots.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Dissent = ban happens either way. I'm already banned from Lemmygrad for "anticommunism ".

[–] MaxVoltage@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you sir for helping defend us. I'm not very smart but I try to say what I can

[–] Ohthereyouare@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm dying. This is my favorite comment of yours by far. I'm amazed that you realize that you have some deficiencies in the intelligence department. Fuckin brilliant

[–] MaxVoltage@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You don't have to be smart to want people to not be hungry

Try going to any "scientific socialist" community and tell them you don't believe what Trotsky said about the Kronstadt sailors.

Watch criticism of party structures and leaders get flattened into base-anticommunism.

I've read and listened to plenty of Marxists, enough for me to trust in their analysis, and not their ability to talk to people who don't know how, or don't want to learn how to walk on your eggshells.

Liberals not realizing that liberalism is also an ideology and not just "default way of being". What we really need is a liberal safe zone so that y'all can have your own instance.

This is some big brain snowflake behavior.

[–] MaxVoltage@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
