Just checked instances after the hack and noticed that lemmy.world is federated with all of the Lemmygrads. Was it always?
I’m pretty sure they always were. I know when I was using lemmy.world I blocked a lot of lemmygrad communities.
It’s really really hard to believe those people are being honest.
Every post I saw before I blocked them was 100% what rightwingers believe “libruls” believe.
I’m confused as to what you’re referring to, lemmygrad? Nah I’m pretty sure those are just tankies and tankies are as I understand it basically what rightwingers think everyone left of Ronald Reagan is. Like tankies aren’t just commies, they’re fucking stalinists.
“Stalinists” who support a radical right wing hyper capitalist Christian oil tycoon oligarchy with colonist ambitions, and endless wars of conquest. They’re just edgy anti westerners with no real policy ideology.
And I’m saying I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re all rightwingers larping.
They all think they’re the only ones trolling and everyone else is authentic, when none of them are
Leftists can be fucking insane too, my guy. Lemmygrad is proof of that
Some years ago I read an amusing article about Conservapedia, discussing how half the contributors were genuine right wing lunatics and the other half were trolls pretending to be right wing lunatics and nobody could tell who was what. I suppose it’s possible that Lemmygrad is like that too. But there are definitely genuine lunatics in the mix, regardless.
Lemmgrad is proof
That people on social media who claim to be “leftists” say insane shit my guy
You are aware that people can do that, right?
Just go on the internet and lie about shit…
On the one hand, yes, absolutely.
On the other, tankies are fascists. They just happen to prefer their slaves to be communal, rather than spread out amongst corpos.
Stalin was a fascist. Being a Stalinist means you’re a fascist. Ergo, tankies are fascists.
Centralization of power is always bad. Because fascism is always bad. We need to stop looking at bygone eras of centralized power structures and move towards a more federational (federated) power/governance structure.
Then we need to get rid of the power balance for good. Until then, be weary of communists masquerading under the same flag but pushing for power centralization.
Communism isn’t a form of governance, our first step should be to mold our democratic republic around it instead of capitalism. Then change it as our needs demand.
Easier said than done, I realize, but change is possible. Fingers crossed it happens soon. Sorry about the rant.
This is very incorrect. Hate Stalin if you want but he wasn’t a fascist.
Sta·lin·ism /ˈstäləˌniz(ə)m/ noun the ideology and policies adopted by Stalin, based on centralization, totalitarianism, and the pursuit of communism.
Sorry, but it’s true, Stalin was a fascist. Democratic centralization is still power centralization, and runs counter to all of communism’s economic ideologies.
It’s really really hard to believe those people are being honest.
The delusion is strong with tankies. It’s really quite interesting to observe, particularly when big events happen (ex: When Russia was repelled from Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Kherson). One will see a refocusing happening over the course of a few days, then the same conclusions are reached but using completely different (often contradictory) logic.
I don’t know if Lemmy has an equivalent, but in Kbin you can block a whole instance as a user. For example, I went to https://kbin.social/d/lemmygrad.ml and in the upper right corner in the “DOMAIN” box there’s a standard block button. I expect it means I will not see any comments or posts that come from anyone on lemmygrad.ml.
The further increased customizability of kbin has been tugging at my curiosity for weeks, but I haven’t taken the dive yet. You might have finally convinced me.
