Welcome ex-Redditors!

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

It does, but you're really tripping if you don't think the CCP commits egregious human rights abuses.

[gift_of_gab@lemmy.world]

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.

What's it liking having even /c/conservative think you're a right-wing nutjob? Do you think the entire world is a leftist conspiracy out to get you, personally?

[nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org]

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.

[hark@lemmy.world]

Yes, welcome redditors to .world, which is trying to model itself as reddit 2.

[electric_nan@lemmy.ml]

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.

[moon@lemmy.ml]

It's pretty insane that choosing the default instance is seen as being indicative of your politics

[kaboom@reddthat.com]

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.

[bobs_monkey@lemm.ee]

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).

[deaf_fish@lemm.ee]

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

[eroneux@lemmynsfw.com]

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

[spacecowboy@lemmy.ca]

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.

[jaybone@lemmy.world]

“An instance on .ml” you mean a community? Or you mean another domain name using the .ml top level domain? If it’s the latter, you probably mean lemmygrad.ml. If it’s the former, there are already quite a few communities on there which have a lot of subscribers and often appear in the “all” feed. Normally those are fine. But every now and then you’ll see some tankie comment and like 99% of the time it’s some user from that instance.

[deceptichum@quokk.au]

The only person watering down the word here is you?
