Actually, this town has more than enough room for the two of us

He/him or they/them, doesn't matter too much

  • What's wrong with the term "leftist organization?" Educate, agitate, organize is the common saying, organizing is the fundamental task of leftists.

  • Why do you tankies always lie

    For full clarity, it was the "tankies" reporting on PieFed's social credit score system, Deceptichum is attacking the "tankie" position. The comment you linked is from a "tankie." In fact, it was because the communists started talking about PieFed's social engineering that this drama even kicked off.

  • Why not go to an even broader instance like Lemmy.zip?

  • It's a good thing to ban Zionists, actually. Support for genocidal settler-colonialism is bad.

  • Very cool of dbzer0.

  • What Fediverse instances would you recommend to others?

    Jump

  • To be clear, one comment having 1-2 upvotes and a reply to it having a dozen or more upvotes gets that across just fine, it just requires the reply in the first place.

  • Since when was the Palestinian resistance to genocide genocidal themselves? What kind of hasbara is this?

  • Blocking instances blocks their communities, not their users. Further, Lemmy.world is already defederated from Hexbear, blocking it does nothing in that case.

  • "Tankie" is just a pejorative for communists, it's a strawman that essentially says that the Red Scare was correct, but that that's a good thing. In reality, the ones called "tankies" have very reasonable views and reasons for supporting existing socialism, the label gets thrown to shut down discussion.

  • Just browse Join-Lemmy and pick an instance that sticks out and you like the vibe of, with good local communities and decent federation. The only one I truly recommend avoiding is Lemmy.world, due to its size and moderation on some larger communities.

  • Lemmy.world is actually defederated from some larger instances, and many smaller ones defederate it for being too dominating.

  • If people are communists, I see no reason why they should avoid the communist instances. If you don't like communists, wouldn't you rather they be in instances you're defederated with or can easily block? People can decide for themselves if they want to stay or not after checking an instance.

  • Hexbear is openly communist, it doesn't "try to sound cute to trick people." That's genuinely the community, tons of queer communists.

  • You may disagree with communists, but we are by no means fascists. Fascism is inherently tied to protecting private property and capitalism, communists oppose that and seek to collectivize production and distribution.

  • .world is missing because it's way too big, and Grad is below other servers like dbzer0, sh.itjust.worlks, Blahaj.zone, Lemmy.ca, programming.dev, etc. Hex and .ml are up high because, like it or not, they are highly active non-.world instances.

  • In addition to being a themed community of communities, instances also have different federation/defederation policy. dbzer0 is defederated from Lemmygrad.ml, for example, while being federated with Hexbear.net. There's also the differences on how upvoting and downvoting is treated among instances, with some disabling downvotes and some disabling voting altogether.

  • Nor on Hexbear, or a few other large instances. In the case of Hexbear and Blahaj, it's to protect queer users from being unfairly downvoted, as well as to encourage discussion over silent downvoting.

  • Platforms like Voat have disgustingly promoted fascist ideologies in the name of “free speech”, but that doesn’t excuse leading members of Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and Lemmy.ml from their persistent history of supporting Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, supporting Chinese totalitarianism (not even true communism) over Taiwanese democracy, and disgusting transphobia.

    1. These 3 instances support the people of Donetsk and Luhansk, which is the standard communist position globally.
    2. The PRC is a socialist country, public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy and the working classes control the state. At a democratic level, local elections are direct, while higher levels are elected by lower rungs. At the top, constant opinion gathering and polling occurs, gathering public opinion, driving gradual change. This system is better elaborated on in Professor Roland Boer's Socialism in Power: On the History and Theory of Socialist Governance. Taiwan, on the other hand, is largely controlled by capitalists, and despite their claims of being the rightful rulers of all of China, almost no countries recognize it over the PRC.

    I don't know what you mean by "true" communism.

    1. All 3 of those instances are some of the most trans-positive and friendly instances on Lemmy. The views of Nutomic do not represent the views of the average user, this is confirmed by anyone spending any time in any of the 3 instances you listed. Communists are pro-LGBTQIA+.
