Lemmy is a community of communism and Marxism–Leninism enthusiasts, isn’t it? :D
Try lemmygrad, just don’t expect to get federated
Not ime. There’s lots of reddit discussion now cause it’s pertinent info right now. I’ve found plenty of good stuff besides the communist content. Like normal reddity, not meta, posts.
Lemmy is not any one type of place. It’s whatever we make it. There just happens to be a thriving community of communists here. We’re in the early stages and we’re finding out way.
I find myself thinking, throughout my day, OH I can post this! Where I wouldn’t normally do that.
There is content on other instances.
Beehaw added !socialism@beehaw.org if you want to talk about leftist topics, but the rules there are that you have to be nice to everybody. It is basically the opposite of the tenor of r/socialism, so take that under advisement.
I say this as a passive observer who has no skin in the game one way or another, I’m not a socialist.
It’s highly hypocritical to advocate for socialism while blocking Lemmygrad.
Did they block Lemmygrad? I thought they just blocked Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world. you may be right though.
I wouldn’t try to make too much sense out of Beehaw’s decisions. I don’t quite understand what they’re going for. Regardless of whether or not they blocked Lemmygrad, I agree with you that there’s a contradiction inherent in the whole idea of having a community about socialism (a topic about overthrowing the current political/economic order) but saying to “be nice” lol
Tankies aren’t socialists. They’re fascists.
Sure they are. /s
Why would it be?
MLs are not the only socialists, much to their dismay. I will never support anyone in any capacity who denies human suffering, I will never support anyone who believes that inflicting pain and suffering on innocent working class people is ever justified.
I’ve been reading them for a while, and I’ve never heard anything like that. Your account is only 8 days old, so I don’t think you have much of an idea about what they’re talking about. You’re probably just making things up.
Same thing happened on Mastodon after Twitter migration. People are talking about reddit because that’s the big news right now. Give it time. There will be more content.
Lemmygrad is a Marxism-focused instance and Hexbear is currently making the migration to mainline Lemmy right now.
My feed is mostly Star Trek and knitting, tbh.
People are going through several stages of grief at the moment. This was all so sudden and feels so unnecessary, it didn’t have to happen and it didn’t have to happen this way. This ended up being toxic on top of toxic.
I really hope fanaticus.social takes off, it’s a great idea.
