Well except for the Catalonians, the Haudenosaunee, the Australians, the Polynesians...
Ok, I think I'm comfortable resting my case that you contorting the meaning of the word 'communist' beyond reason.
-
Nah, that stuff is the Dictatorship Of The Proletariat, which is a supposed way to Communism, rather than Communism itself, and as the "dictatorship" in the name indicates, it's an authoritarian regime.
The valid criticism of Communism is not that it's authoritarian is that in over a century all countries who tried to get there took the authoritarian path and not a single one ever left that staged and reached Communism - in other words, maybe Communism is a unachieveable ideal.

This is why I’m glad I’m on lemme.ee, and I have the option to choose for myself as they don’t really defederate any of the main instances.
In this case the choice isn't yours. I'm not aware of any server that defederated from Beehaw. Beehaw was the one that blocked most everyone else. They could choose to block lemm.ee if they wanted to for any reason.
-
I'm jealous, I keep seeing them everywhere. As for the blocking, I've tried to block .ml several times but for some reason it hasn't worked. -_-
-
Yeah I'm a bit lost on why someone's instance automatically = their entire identity. Wouldn't that means 1) technically we are all tankies on a tankie platform and 2) I need to start learning Finnish?
- I need to start learning Finnish?
Good luck with that buddy. Look up "kuusi palaa".
-
How else are they going to find an audience for their huge list of irrelevant copy-pasted bullet points?
-
This seems like an odd message considering that Lemmy, as software, is being praised here; and what is being criticized are instances wherein the admins enforce apologism for authoritarian regimes.
If someone writes a program you like, it means they've got good political ideas. /s
-
Tankies aren't communists.
Dude you know what I mean, don't be the ACKSHUALLY guy
-
Okay, but where is the instance that is trying to model itself after slashdot? (I feel old)
Best I can do is act like a slashdotter:
This general idea has already failed elsewhere. What you want can't work.
-
What? Those are the three instant where I see the least denial of the US and Israels genocide, and the least bootlicking of western authoritarianism.
