I always assumed it was like Lemmygrad and the ML stood for Marxist-Leninist but I don't leave my island and the visitors I see always have the worst takes

That being said, the admins are more than just "some flavor of leftist," they're communists that have a lot in common with the Lemmygrad admins. Part of the reason we're still federated with lemmy.ml is that, despite the users being mostly lib, the admins have slowly influenced them to get better, and have some of the best moderation for a generalist instance.

Thanks for clarifying I should obviously be giving them more credit that I am. There is a place for an generalist instance with moderation that supports anti-capitalist discourse without going so far as to just ban all liberals.

if we banned all liberals, then what content would there be for the dunk tank?

A lot in common? Dessalines was one of lemmygrad's co-founders
