I think you’re correct honestly but with Lemmygrad defederated like the exploding-heads people they surely make mainstream accounts for the sake of their lunacy being interacted with.
Maybe it’s my instance of choice but I sure do see a ton of people with authoritarian views pretending they’re just simply leftists when they’re just as unhinged as Qtards.
Nah. Your definition of a Nazi is just anyone right of Mao. This place seems to be where the tankies went after getting banned from Reddit for encouraging violence toward people who don’t want to slob on government’s massive boot.
Same. It was effortless honestly.
Well said. Never underestimate someone’s ability to be stupid based upon their politics. It’s how we end up with absolute idiots in office.
I mean, good point actually. It’s very possible the issue is the instance I’m logged into. I switched around the time lemmy.world was hacked. But .world honestly felt the same as sh.itjust.works. Never fails that I login and the very first thing I see is some communist circlejerk with tons of upvotes.
More centrist???
Lemmy is like a boiling pot of full-on tankie authoritarians. Reddit is only slightly less left than that but you still get autobanned from major subs for simply commenting somewhere deemed right-wing.
This reads like you never even visited Reddit.
What a very Reddited thing to say.
This just happened to me. Even tried to use Albert Einstein as a “see, Socialism can work” even though the topic was about tankies specifically. It felt like gaslighting so I stopped engaging.
Could have fooled me. Maybe it’s not as extreme as the others but the creators are still rumored to be tankies. It’s entirely possible that I’m wrong though.
I did see a comment in the politics community get tons of downvotes for saying something unpopular. A mod replied saying people were also reporting it but they’re allowing it to stay because it didn’t break any rules. I checked back later out of curiosity and sure enough it was removed.
Just to be fair to lemmy.world however it’s possible some mods are acting in good faith like the one that replied while others don’t have the same standards.
My head cannon is it’s because lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are tankie echo chambers trying to be the “default” instances. Lots of people aren’t down with simping for authoritarian regimes.
Other than that your reason may be most likely. Just people being unhinged. I doubt it’s Reddit revenge though, Reddit hate seems to be pretty universal; even among people still using it.
He was also the first president to come into office already supporting gay marriage.
