I don’t interact with the various other Lemmy instances very often. I see almost no point in it, it’s just reddit. All they post is endless articles from the Atlantic or Wall Street journal. Elon musk this, orange man that, all useless, pointless posting.
Recently, their favorite flavor of slop has been the “Tiananmen square massacre”. This has brought out the worst in them. We live rent free in their heads, but especially whenever a socialist government is mentioned. They all come crawling out of their basements, pushing Funko pops and copies of Hogwarts legacy out of the way of their crusty, rainbow light keyboards to claim their knowledge of a Chinese protest is infallible.
My god do they not let up either. Any rebuttal is shut down by these drones. Any mention of “what about the Americans many war crimes?” Activates their inner CIA sleeper agent, and they hit you with “commies are just whataboutism. That’s all they have. Well at least we have freedom. At least we aren’t committing genocide.” All extremely easy to debunk claims.
Don’t get me started on isr*el. They sure do love their ethnic cleansing. More so than even the loudest of American Republicans I’ve ever heard. To them, Gaza is all “terrorists”. They should all be killed in their eyes, their only hope of redemption is “non violent protest”, aka, just lay down and die. Never in my life have I seen a larger group of far right genocidal freaks than I have on Lemmy world.
It’s so ridiculous, it’s comical. Say something like “hey this is misinformation” and a thousand replies will hit your inbox, all from dudes that post things like “Hamas needs to be destroyed”, “people who don’t vote shouldn’t complain about anything” and my personal favorite one “Uh actually, I support the maori MPs getting suspended for doing the haka. That stupid dance is disruptive” (Yeah, real comments, not hyperbole)
The Nazis are in our backyard. And they should be bullied back to reddit where they belong.
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.
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.
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.
They loved to ban people for being critical of Biden or posting things negative of biden. To the point they’d just start making up rules to justify the bans when questioned.
Now one of their top mods just removes people for questioning him on Kamala
simping for any party at all is just really stupid. Especially when you look at it in a more than 2 party system.
Both are below the base line of „You should not overthrow the government”. Trump is worse than the democrats from the perspective of pure destruction / day, but both are still below the standard, so it dosent really matter anyway.
What’s really disheartening is seeing the ones I have tagged as diehard dnc believes or biden stans who still won’t admit anything was done wrong. Or that Biden could have ever made a mistake
Can you tag people on Lemmy like on RES?
depends on software
Can you name any examples? I use the web UI so I wouldn’t know
Haven’t looked for a web ui way yet, mostly because so dependant on what front ends the instance has. But on android voyage will let you tag
Tbh that’s why I personally left Reddit. And while I had very watered down ideas of socialism (social democracy), I was far enough left my ex from the global south used to tell everyone I’m a socialista, back in the early aughts. Not in a malicious way, though.
I mean, I don’t give 2 shits about open source either
:downbear:
Yeah but you’re a communist
