Welcome ex-Redditors!

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?

I've met people in reality who feel the same way as you, and I wanted to ask you something:
Wonder if our media that is largely Republican controlled and owned by Western billionaires could maybe have some anti-CCP bias
Why does that mean that China is good? Like I understand that specific things western media says could be wrong, but we have a hell of a lot of proof about what they've done. So what I don't get is, sure media is owned by billionaires and corrupt, but why does that mean that the exact opposite is what's true? Stalin/Nazi Germany and Hitler/Germany hated each other, constantly lied about each other, but that never meant that either of them were 'good.' So why does it apply here?
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.

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

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.
-
“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.

The only person watering down the word here is you?

Notice Beehaw’s not on the “good” list anymore? Wonder why they’re not on there…
As far as I understood at the time, Beehaw cut themselves off from just about everyone else in the fediverse. If they want to make that choice I respect their position but its sending the message they're not interested in interacting with most others. If someone tells you to go away and they don't want to talk to you, I'm not going to chase them and try and change their mind. I'm going to let them go do whatever they want to do and I'll do my own thing with most everyone else.

First time reading the original statement, and this actually makes me less concerned. It isn't secret knowledge that the capital has worked hard to reframe being left from wanting anti capitalist economic policies to mostly social issues without consequence such as inclusive language and skin color quotas. None of that addresses the real problem that is the capitalist system driving us all into servitude and the planet towards collapse.
This is also why the left is generally not considered attractive to the average voter. They don't care about any of that social crap, they care about their own situation and how to improve that. And while inclusivity is important and a just cause it is entirely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things and not a valid agenda to run a political movement on.
The lives of every marginalized group of people will improve a hundred times more by toppling the system that keeps us all oppressed and unhappy, than by having the government use their preferred pronouns when letting them know they have to make do with less, again.

Lemmy.ml is the original instance and the dev instance. I joined it because there was literally no alternative at the time. It's pretty annoying being called a tankie left and right because of this
Same, looks like we are shady now.
-
I still get Beehaw posts on my instance too. They're nice people.

Ya know what, I just looked at their instance page for the first time and their community rules show that they appear to have their head on straight and are setting good policy. I'll have to try to get an account there and see what I've been missing.

To be honest, I don't pay a lot of attention other than to notice the '.ml' and the vast majority of the time, I don't notice any specific tanki-ness to people from there.
.ee on the other hand has been... (checks) yeah, all but one of my blocks in the last month.
