Welcome ex-Redditors!

who love strawmen
like “narwhal bacon”

Got my account and started reading and posting today, and you're right, they are nice people. I had somehow mixed up Beehaw and Hexbear in my head. Big mistake.
I may end up moving over there as primary just because I'm so tired of the trolls myself.
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.
-
Welcome! I am new too. Still getting adjusted to the federations and the "way" things are here.
-
Get the app: sync for Lemmy! It's amazing
-
Yiffit was never federated with any of them, none of them federate with porn instances.
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
-
I'd rather have the wild west of ideas over reddit. So I don't mind em

.ml is a cesspool
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.
Is it server side or can I remove it for myself? I am not a garden flower, words don't offend me.

As far as I'm aware, you'll have to move to another instance if you want to see slurs that badly.
-
Yeah, at this point the word "tankie" is used so liberaly that communists are just one type of "tankie".
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.
Marx said communism is stateless
every type of leftism that im aware of except for social democrats want to achieve a stateless society. to be fair im not sure if social democrats can even be considered leftists.

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.

So far, it's quite refreshing. However I miss some of the smaller niche hobby subreddits, as fediverse hasn't gained enough momentum yet. There are "channels" (?) that have like 300 people, and a post every other month, which is too small right now.
Comms are more like hashtags within an instance, generally, rather than a real community in itself.
-
Always the same brigading, always the same repeating the same lies. Just for your sanity avoid .ml hex and grad.
-
Words are defined by common use.
Yeah and that common definition is described in dictionaries and encyclopedias.
