Welcome ex-Redditors!

Ok, I think I'm comfortable resting my case that you contorting the meaning of the word 'communist' beyond reason.
-
There are some real weirdos here that have this as the major part of their personality.

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 have a very different experience. When Hexbear was still federated with the large instances it was total mayhem. They would turn every thread political, constantly spam images of dictators like Stalin and Mao, and swarm anyone who disagreed. I've seen them deny the wrongdoings of China and the Soviet Union quite often, which is probably also what's necessary if you spam Mao and Stalin unironically.
I'm quite left of center myself, at least relative to most people I know in real life. But these people seemed totally insane. It was probably also a numbers game, since Hexbear was relatively large at the time compared to basically every other instance. So maybe this was just an annoying minority. But nevertheless I'd never purposefully go there, and I'd recommend anyone to stay away. It's way better than for instance a Trumpist/far-right instance, but I'd rather avoid both.

Love everything about reddit but inexplicably wish to leave it?
Hate the idea of an english speaking internet that doesn't slavishly adhere to the party line of the US alphabet agencies?
Do you think the parable of the nazi bar is bunch of hokum?
Do you have shrieking anger towards people who refused to support genocide while having shrieking anger at (usually the same) people rejecting decades long debunked accusations of genocide made by the perpetrators of aforementioned genocide?
Join the lemmyverse! We have racism! We have homophobia! We have trans misogyny! We have daily 5 minutes hate!
And if anyone tells you different, have you considered they're a paid shill by the notorious gay sex haver Putler??

It's not authoritarian bootlicking if the boot has been painted red!

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. -_-

- 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?

We have Ukrainian/Uyghur genocide denial!

If someone writes a program you like, it means they've got good political ideas. /s

Dude you know what I mean, don't be the ACKSHUALLY guy

Best I can do is act like a slashdotter:
This general idea has already failed elsewhere. What you want can't work.
-
The USA, Israel, Russia, and China all support genocide.
Now you say it.

FOSS isn't Soviet style state capitalism / socialism either.

It's not propaganda if it comes from the USA!

I'm curious where a lot of those folks come from/what their backgrounds are. I assume like 50% are Russian bots, but of those who are real people, how'd they end up where they are in life/their opinions? I have a hard time wrapping my head around it.
