Yes it's full of liberals now this used to be a leftist safe zone. Soon they will be mods and any dissent will result in permant ban
Edit: libs proved me right so fast check those salty replies bet they even Reported me. Healthy discussion involved some heat love y'all
What? The whole point of Lemmy is to be defederated. A leftist safe zone still exists, they have their own instance.
The leftist safe zone is and always was a lie, anyway. They're just fascists LARPing as a communist vanguard.
I wasn’t gonna start a fight here though lol. The entire place was infested with tankies. The dude I responded to is probably a tankie.
I laughed when the complaint was liberals invading Lemmy lmao.
Vanguard ideology is the weakest point of Leninism. It always attracts those seeking power. But there’s nothing stopping a leftist group from owning a lemmy instance and banning everyone that disagrees with their flavor of leftism.
He said long time not "joined 12 days ago"
Are you talking lemmygrad leftists or real leftists?
Libs downvoting you but you have a point. All the users in this thread whining about "tankies" have accounts created since June lmao.
So don't come here? You've got plenty of other options. Why come into leftist spaces then complain about how you don't like how leftist it is?
What does "here" refer to? You're on Lemmy.world, your instance has never been a "leftist space" afaik.
Lemmy is software, not a "space". The network is ActivityPub, also not known for being "leftist".
idk tell that to all the users complaining about "too many tankies" on lemmy. I'm not the one who turned this into a conversation about ideology, I'm just responding to it.
Because it's not a "leftist space." It's a federated Web platform with many communities. If any of you identipols want a safe space go setup some password protected forum somewhere.
And?
If you want to minimize opinions of people who joined recently, try not being someone who also joined recently.
I'm not the one coming into leftist spaces and bitching about "tankies," am I? I expressed no disagreement with how things were being run prior to my arrival. That was my entire point, which I'm afraid you've missed entirely.
Sorry, I wasn't aware that lemmy.world was a tankie safe-haven in the two weeks it was around before you joined. My bad.
I never made such a claim; I addressed those who did make it and chose to complain about it. Try reading through this thread to gain an understanding of who I was referring to when I initially said "All the users in this thread whining about “tankies”."
Can you please make an effort to understand the point I'm making if you're going to reply again? This is the second time you've completely failed to comprehend anything I've written.
This is hilarious and probably true.
Eh... Instances are like countries and federations are like Alliances. A leftist safe zone still exist and they federate only with like minded instances.
ALSO would your solution be ONLY leftist mods, would they be any more or less likely to quash dissent and perma ban whatever they don't like?
My experience is that most extremely ideologically driven communities tend to devolve into the same heavy-handed moderation tactics. I think this happens because it’s easier to imagine that the ends justify the means, and because small minority communities that are far from the larger consensus viewpoints are going to have issues with relatively large number of outside users coming in and wanting to debate or denigrate the fringe ideology.
Nah let people fight
