Welcome ex-Redditors!

Perhaps that's because your instance is defederated from them? They were all over the place before most other major instances defederated from them. They are still all over the place if you're on an instance that federates with them.

Imma be honest, I don't think .ml belongs on there. Their users can be pretty cool.

who love strawmen
like “narwhal bacon”

Yay, I'm glad you like it there! It's definitely more slow moving than the rest of Lemmy, but I like their weekly community chats and stuff. Also a killer gardening community.

OMG. I just discovered Lemmy yesterday after being a Redditor for a decade. I deleted my Reddit account after the insane level of suppression I've endured over the past year and was all set to go cold turkey when I found out about Lemmy! Praise the sweet lil' six pound, eight ounce baby Jesus!!
Welcome! I am new too. Still getting adjusted to the federations and the "way" things are here.

Them not federating with another instance doesn't stop other instances seeing their content. It only stops their instance seeing the blocked instance's content.

There are some real weirdos here that have this as the major part of their personality.
Like that guy with the Buckies profile pic? lol I see him everywhere

From what I can tell, this tankie stuff is bullshit. In the years I've been here, I've seen close to zero 'tankie' content from any of these supposedly tankie instances. There's like maybe one or two people on those instances who might fit the description if you search for them. Meanwhile, literally every day there are posts spitting on these supposed tankie instances. (And actually, it's again a very small number of people complaining - but they put their crap into cute memes to get traction).
I don't like the idea of shouting slurs at entire instances. In my view, if you hate those instances so much - just block them. Problem solved. No need to spew hate all over lemmy.
I'd rather have the wild west of ideas over reddit. So I don't mind em

I mean you say that, but it's not like every community on .ml is focused on politics man. Their largest communities are mostly about tech. And they have a pretty cool, albeit somewhat inactive datahoarders community, of whom I think some are helping with redundant archival of datasets being erased by Trump's administration.

If instance A isn't federated with instance B, nobody from instance B sees instance A's content. That is different from a block.

.ml's slur filter removed a slur for trans people.

or "tankie" is just a type of communist. who knows at this point.

Here are some thoughts:
Marx said communism is stateless
The state won't wither away if you keep defending its right to use force
The vanguard party must either accept revolution against themselves so that society can become more communist, or become reactionary tyrants
Modern Russia isn't fucking socialist, you don't need to defend it anymore
State capitalism isn't socialism. State socialism requires robust democracy
Every actual successful communist nation that reached communism didn't have a vanguard state
Being an enemy of the West doesn't mean a country inherently deserves your support. That's how voting works, it's not how international relations work
Trump is planning to displace the Palestinians and make Gaza a US colony, and Lemmy's Marxist-Leninist community tried to help him
Having a small movement with little power isn't an excuse for making bad decisions. Take responsibility for your actions
Drag is not seeking to have an argument about each and every one of these points. Drag is seeking to prove that "tankie bad" is not a thought terminating cliche as you said. Drag has plenty of thoughts, and has already discussed them exhaustively on this platform. And this list of thoughts isn't an invitation to sealion.

Okay bro wtf is that wall of text. They’re all communist, full stop. Trying to label them something else doesn’t change the fact that communism is a political system for psychopaths
Man, I had some hope you'd look past your propaganda and programming, but I guess not.
I wish you the best in the future; try looking into what you're being fed. After you work through the humiliation of accepting the easy lies of conservatives, please remember you're not the only one to fall for it. It's very common, especially amongst men.
Good luck, you are loved

You can't, you have to move instances.

Nothing says holocaust denial more than deliberately watering down the term 'genocide'
Nothing says genocide apologist like insisting every genocide has to be exactly like to Holocaust to count as a genocide.

Different leftists have a different idea of what constitutes the "State" and what "Statelessness" looks like. For Marxists, the State is the oppressive elements of class society like millitarized police and armies that can only go away once the world is fully publicly owned and planned, and becomes classless. Anarchists however have an issue with hierarchy, rather than class, and want full decentralization and horizontalism. For a Marxist, Anarchism isn't "stateless" as it retains class distinctions (each commune is interested in its own success), Anarchists obviously would see Marxism as not truly stateless.
This difference is why a lot of conversations go nowhere between some Marxists and Anarchists.
