Welcome ex-Redditors!

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

It's 2025, everyone is both doing genocide and is denying genocide all of the time. Unfortunately that word no longer has any meaning.

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

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 thought Beehaw defederated from everyone else during the first mass reddit migration in 2023. It's not surprising not a lot of people know about them.
I still get Beehaw posts on my instance too. They're nice people.

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.

And no. Lemmy is a itty bitty part of the world. Why would I think it’s a world-wide leftist conspiracy?
Oh when you said "No wonder the left is upset, their propaganda department is being shut down." over USAID being ransacked by fascists, I just assumed you thought the entire world was a leftist conspiracy.
