There's almost always a more deserving community that could use some good content and growth!

Marx had very little to say about the governing structure of communist governments, but did actually describe socialism as a 'dictatorship of the proletariat'.

What you're taking issue with is how marxism was later applied by various political projects, but they all still fall under the umbrella term of Marxism.

Put another way: all Marxist-lenninists are Marxist but not all Marxists are Marxist-lenninists

They consider themselves a general purpose instance, with minimal oversight or censorship, and I've had no issues so far. Either them or sh.itjust.works are the ones I'd choose.

Name me an instance that's less toxic than Blahaj and I will move there

It's a shame they're bending over backwards for a troll that is making fun of them.

Make a negative comment about China on ml I dare ya.

I'll just point out you called Marxism a trash ideology and then subsequently called it unnecessary because of an ideology that is almost inherently rooted in Marxism.

It's trash because of the second criticism i stated and others i have that i wasn't ready to type out.

This this is on hexbear via ml, here's a whole comment thread complaining about neoliberal brainworms about welfare in China and a bunch of people talking about how disappointing the fiscal conservatism is, one person pointing out that this type of wealth inequality is ultimately the result of government policy.

Do me next. I upset a lemmy.world mod the other day because my sarcasm was not allowed in response to someone else's sarcasm.

I was going to point out the irony

So if you wanted to you could merge two c/memes feeds from different instances.

Mods can already consolidate at this moment by locking one of the community and pointing to the other. It seems like everyone prefers to have a meme community on their instance for some reason

Blaze (he/him)

no good way to easily consolidate content from similar, or even identical, communities across instances.

Lock one community, pin a post to the community you are merging with. Done.

[email protected] as an example

Have a look at https://piefed.social/ topics

The biggest I remember is movies and TV related things.

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem - feddit.nl

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy’s massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml]. It’s been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let’s say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they’re what’s colloquially referred to as tankies. This wouldn’t be much of an issue if they didn’t regularly abuse their admin/mod status to censor and silence people who dissent with their political beliefs and for example, post things critical of China, Russia, the USSR, socialism, … As an example, there was a thread today about the anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre. When I was reading it, there were mostly posts critical of China in the thread and some whataboutist/denialist replies critical of the USA and the west. In terms of votes, the posts critical of China were definitely getting the most support. I posted a comment in this thread linking to “https://archive.ph/2020.07.12-074312/https://imgur.com/a/AIIbbPs [https://archive.ph/2020.07.12-074312/https://imgur.com/a/AIIbbPs]” (WARNING: graphical content), which describes aspects of the atrocities that aren’t widely known even in the West, and supporting evidence. My comment was promptly removed for violating the “Be nice and civil” rule. When I looked back at the thread, I noticed that all posts critical of China had been removed while the whataboutist and denialist comments were left in place. This is what the modlog [https://lemmy.ml/modlog] of the instance looks like: [https://feddit.nl/pictrs/image/6886b092-43d3-408b-ab57-2fa686f8a6c7.png] Definitely a trend there wouldn’t you say? When I called them out on their one sided censorship, with a screenshot of the modlog above, I promptly received a community ban on all communities on lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] that I had ever participated in. Proof: [https://feddit.nl/pictrs/image/9c52e470-645f-46ba-ac1d-0b7d8be17af3.png] So many of you will now probably think something like: “So what, it’s the fediverse, you can use another instance.” The problem with this reasoning is that many of the popular communities are actually on lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml], and they’re not so easy to replace. I mean, in terms of content and engagement lemmy is already a pretty small place as it is. So it’s rather pointless sitting for example in /c/[email protected] [/c/[email protected]] where there’s nobody to discuss anything with. I’m not sure if there’s a solution here, but I’d like to urge people to avoid lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] hosted communities in favor of communities on more reasonable instances.

Lol, I love when people tell me my experiences aren't true and didn't happen. It proves all you care about is amplifying fascist disinformation and authoritarians. It's no wonder people want to block you...
