I’m not basing my statement off of any experience with Marxism-leninism. I’m basing it off of my experience with lemmygrad posters here on Lemmy. For example, this thread about the Tienanmen Square anniversary. I don’t particularly care about the specific political ideologies on display.
I’m not speaking about you specifically, I have no idea who you are. I’m talking about lemmygrad in general. Just like the person you were responding to was talking about. He asked “what did lemmygrad.ml do?” And I’m clarifying that.
It’s not that lemmygrad.ml is simply “communist.”
Be mindlessly propagandistic “communist.” The countries they fawn over aren’t even particularly communist, they’re just authoritarian. Russia in particular is run by capitalist oligarchs.
It’s just tiresome and pointless engaging with them.
It’s unfortunate, when I signed up a day or two back I tried several other instances first but they were all down. Or some kind of weird communist thing. So I ended up with lemmy.ml simply because it was there at the time.
I’ve seen a lot of comments about adding a mechanism to allow user accounts to be migrated from one instance to another, hopefully that’ll get added relatively soon and then I’ll be able to diffuse out to a smaller instance.
Seems ironic in a thread where someone’s looking for minimally-blocked instances.
But on the plus side, perhaps it illustrates the value of blocking.
