    Cool, then unblock Hexbear and Lemmygrad.

    You can’t have it both ways, either you’re against Communism or you aren’t, and blocking every overtly Communist instance makes it obvious.

    There’s nothing wrong with running things how you want to, but please keep a consistent line or this drama will just move on to a new target, like dbzer0 after .world finally commits to defederating.

        What separates a Marxist from a tankie? Are Anarchists tankies?

        There are no .world communities for Communism, Socialism, or Marxism, so all of the Marxists who wish to contribute must do it on instances like Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad.ml, Hexbear.net, or dbzer0. Lemmy.world deliberately blocking their users from contributing or even seeing Hexbear or Lemmygrad, and possibly soon even Lemmy.ml, is censorship of Marxists from its own users.

        Or is there a secret commie gathering in .world I don’t know about?

            What Marxists get the pass, and which don’t?

            Return2ozma got banned on Lemmy.world for criticizing Biden.

              Non-authoritarians and authoritarians respectively. It’s not that complicated.

              There are no .world communities for Communism

              Did you seriously not even look? Or do you not understand how the fediverse works

              Return2ozma got banned on Lemmy.world for criticizing Biden.

              Doubt.

                What’s the metric to determine between authoritarian and non-authoritarian? Marx and Engels both considered themselves Authoritarian.

                1 community with 1 post? Certainly seems like a community welcoming to Marxists! Show me a Marxist community on Lemmy.world that actually has participants, lol.

                My point is that the biggest and most active communities are on instances either blocked by .world or are threatened to be.

                You can see why Return2Ozma was banned, your admin admitted to it.

                You’re goofy.

                  How about “advocacy of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom”?

                  Show me a Marxist community on Lemmy.world that actually has participants, lol

                  Accessed via .world, moderated by a .world user. I also moderate an openly pro-communist community from .world, !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone.

                  You don’t understand how Lemmy works.

                  You can see why Return2Ozma was banned

                  He was banned from c/politics, not from .world. The c/politics rules aren’t .world rules. He made a post from .world literally a few hours ago.

                  (I don’t agree with the ban either, btw)

                    Cool, then Hexbear and Lemmygrad aren’t tankies by your definition. Go over and ask them about that. Oh wait, you can’t.

                    Communism is a lemmy.ml community, which is my point. Lemmy.world does not host any communist communities despite being the largest instance, and it seems like they may defed from .ml soon, leaving .world with nothing. I’m not sure if you are intentionally not seeing my point, or if you genuinely don’t get it.

                    196 is an Anarchist community, not a Marxist one. Supporting Marxism can get you banned there.

                    I didn’t say Ozma was banned from the entirety of .world, just that posting anti-Biden articles will catch you a ban on .world, further proving their general anti-Marxist stance.

        Is that why Hexbear and Lemmygrad were blocked? Hexbear being one of the largest and most active overtly trans-positive instances, and Lemmygrad being the largest explicitly Marxist Instance?

        You’re just calling them pedophiles now rather than even entertain the idea that .world just doesn’t like Communists.

        You’re treating Communism like liberals treat gay people, fine and supportive until they actually have to see gay people and complain about representation in TV and movies.

          Blocked for being antisocial? Yes. If it was about being trans then Blahaj would have been blocked a long time ago.

          If anything, I’m complaining about bad communist tropes dominating the media representation, and by that I mean leninists.

            It isn’t a trope if the vast majority of Marxists also agree with Lenin worldwide, lmao.

            It’s blatantly anticommunism, not just because people are “antisocial.” You’re like a republican with a token gay friend that complains about the LGBTQ community dominating everything these days, lol. It’s sad, just own up to being anticommunist.

              When I say antisocial behavior I’m not talking about ideology but historical actions like banning people posting literal facts about tiananmen or any other historical event. When responses fail to acknowledge actual history that is brought up, then it is likely working from a reactionary framework.

                Then ban the users, don’t defed. As it stands, .world is anticommunist and censors all communists it can.

                  Many other servers asked them to clean house but they refused, hence the defed. Wild how the ones deleting and banning users are the victims of censorship here 🙄
