It was never closed to non-tankies, but it wasn't very welcoming. I had an account on .ml early on and most of the time I got hammered with downvotes, despite having opinions that I'd describe as being on the left edge of liberalism.

To be clear, the left edge of liberalism is bernie sanders. Is that what youre saying?

[-] rambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Meh, I'd say Bernie is either a social democrat or a reformist socialist who hides his power level.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 11 months ago

He's a self described democratic socialist

[-] rambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Correct, but I'm pretty sure he said he doesn't want to completely socialize the economy.

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

By US standards maybe, but I'm to the left of that.

Some members of LDPR(e.g. Furgal) seem to be more left than Bernie. And LDPR is former LDPSU - first right-wing party of USSR. Or some members of Union of Right Forces.

Not corporate neofeudalist is better than corporate neofeudalist, which is improvement for US. But I can't say he is on edge even of liberalism.

Downvotes are federated.

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah but this was 3 years ago, Lemmy was basically only the .ml instance at that time.
