Welcome ex-Redditors!

everyone keeps telling me my instance is full of tankies but im not seeing it. i when i made my account this was the only instance.
-
Everyone know those rules don't apply to the instances with opinions outside of the US state department's approved overton window.

Not us 🫶 I enjoy the Beehaw communities I subscribe to

Wonder if our media that is largely Republican controlled and owned by Western billionaires could maybe have some anti-CCP bias. No, surely not, our newspaper only tell the truth
, China bad always and the West is infallibly morally correct. -
You're tripping if you don't think our media has a sinophobic spin on it.
It does, but you're really tripping if you don't think the CCP commits egregious human rights abuses.
-
Okay, what about Mao?
Mao is a Maoist, and the CCP claim to be 'the sole heir and successor to Joseph Stalin concerning the correct interpretation of Marxism–Leninism and the ideological leader of world communism,' and I think (hope?) we can agree that Stalinism is not communism.

It's lemmy, I honestly don't really care what some random guy calls me.
-
Stalin/Nazi Germany and Hitler/Germany hated each other, constantly lied about each other, but that never meant that either of them were 'good.'
I mean, before Methler's Operation Barbarossa, they were happily dividing the world up between themselves.
-
Beehaw is like the Elks Lodge of the Lemmyverse. From the outside they look exclusive, mysterious, and enticing. Inside, there's just a few drunk guys singing karaoke.
At least that's my assumption. They wouldn't let me in because I refused to write a paragraph about why I wanted to join an instance that I knew virtually nothing about. Even the Elks Lodge wasn't that picky.
-
If you want nothing farther left than drumpf memes, and also like being a little bit bigoted towards Muslims, then Lemmy.world is gonna be a nice cozy home for you.
-
It's pretty insane that choosing the default instance is seen as being indicative of your politics
-
Most conservative is just random Lemmy users finding it.
And no. Lemmy is a itty bitty part of the world. Why would I think it's a world-wide leftist conspiracy?

It's 2025, everyone is both doing genocide and is denying genocide all of the time. Unfortunately that word no longer has any meaning.
-
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.
As far as it goes, I'm just here for good memes and good conversation. Anytime someone goes into tankie territory, I just go to another thread. Live and let live, even if I disagree (until someone verges into nazi territory).

It does have a definition though and there is still power in that.

I posted my boobs & some people were friendly to me. It’s nice here! Surprisingly wholesome.

Yes everyone is aware of this power so are using the word as a propaganda tool to further their causes. And everyone is aware that the word is being used as a propaganda tool.
The scary part is that by watering down the meaning of the word, it's made actual genocide more likely. If everyone is constantly being accused of genocide all of the time then no one will know when an actual genocide is happening.
