I visited a propaganda subreddit, and now reddit routinely shows me colorized nazi propaganda with zero context. I could hide the sub, and get reddit to appear more left. But it's definitely way to the right of the world libs

No dude we can talk about the American war crimes another time. We're talking specifically about the war crimes of the Soviet Union, a country that no longer exists. Yes I understand we never actually talk about American war crimes but I'm sorry you bringing that up is whataboutism, I don't make the rules.

I wonder how the admins of .ml feel about the software platform they developed being taken over by Reddit neoliberals who actively despise leftists more than anything else and are aggressively trying to drive .ml users off the fediverse (and succeeding).

And like all right wingers they are afraid of right-punching and accordingly left-punch with censorship based on bullshit shibboleths rather than concrete and true criticisms.

whataboutism is effective propaganda to shut down discourse. china only looks bad in a vacuum and their cia brainwashers know this.

i have blocked about 2/3rd of politics comms on lib instances and got banned from the other 3rd because i don't really like US narratives.

A day or two ago, some lib on .ee was calling Hexbear, .ML, and Lemmygrad the "triad of extremism." Hilarious, really.

They're pretty toxic. When I first came, almost every sub was pro-Palestinian genocide. They've started coming around (Johnny come lately) but have doubled down on Ukraine not Nazis.

If that one dude that constantly masturbates to communism ever comes out of his denial closet, he's going to be one hell of an ally.

Finally someone talking about them

.world, while I havent explicitely Seen a nazi there yet, is completely Obsessed with their tankies. Its always „tankies this, tankies that, .ml bad because everyone is a tankie”

They are like 1960s USA, just regurgitating some Image of a Communist Tankie and wanking off together when they draw a funny clown nose on it.

And they should be bullied back to reddit where they belong.

Apply that to just about anything open source.

At a risk of sounding like a Nazi (which I am not, since if you ever cared about Human rights [more specifically access to information for everyone] you could have at any time just looked it up, since unlike with Geopolitics there is no reason for you to somehow be able to use sites like Lemmy, yet somehow not inform yourself about FOSS, therefore your knowledge with FOSS does not depend on any racial, ethnic, or gender factors, and therefore I literally cannot discriminate you based you something you aren't mostly responsible for, and on the opposite, I am only judging you by your own Merits):

Just fucking look at these Reddit refugee Communities. Somehow they never Start with „I am here because I hate capitalism” or „I never used a 3rd Party client, but when reddit starts restricting the worlds biggest concentration of information, my Right to information senses were tickling” (I personally just heard about the Fediverse when looking at Wordpress, since its regarded as that by some, and decided to switch completely when I beard about reddit shutting down the api)

No. Its always: „I was personally affected, so I joined here”. They do not give a fuck about FOSS. They do not give a fuck about decentralisation. They only give a fuck about them not being able to talk.

This is literally „first they came for the communists” type of shit happening here. But now instead of them having to live in their own shit that they made a reality in their first place by staying after the API thing, we just give them a free pass.

If you are German, you have sure heard about the „denazification” that literally didn't happen. This is the same. The 3rd Reich imploded, yet we for some reason still let the Nazis just live after them filling out a Quiz.

1. Do you care about decentralisation (you don't need to explain what that even means)? [Yes][No]
2. Do you like Reddit? [Yes][No]

You are officially rehabilitated!

So down with the centralisation efforts of .world, fuck Reddit and don't let any one of these people in who don't care about why the FOSS community wants decentralisation.

Nazi bar syndrome strikes again

Lemmy world is more right wing than reddit

1>1

Most of world could just be a multireddit of r/worldnews and r/politics. Reddit has been doing all the same but is a bit better at dressing it in respectability politics imo and doesn't have commies on the brain as often. Usually, the commies arguing on that site aren't outright saying it and a lib wouldn't recognize them without the giant "I'm a commie" sign instances suffixes give. I saw two people arguing with some chuds and then went into a digression about the contradictions of capitalism but without the "That's a commie" sign no one noticed they were discussing theory.
