Yep, I know. That's what will make this even funnier.
And, to be clear, these are not just "communists". I'm not sure if you're a Lemmy tankie or not, and frankly, it doesn't matter.
They troll,, manipulate content, manipulate votes, brigade threads all over Lemmy. They spout nonsensical bullshit and talk shit t everyone. They promote violence and obfuscate facts. They're a cancer.
If and when Lemmy gains more popularity, they'll be forced to cower in a safe space, like every other group of trolls who try to do the same thing on other sites. The vast "majority" of people think they're annoying, dangerous, useless and a pain in the ass. Not here on Lemmy, yet, but it's coming.
If it does happen, which I doubt, they’ll just start a new forum. And you’ll follow them there. Challenge their ideas, not their existence. Just spouting “tankies are bad” ain’t gonna work. Why are they bad? What about their ideology do you think is wrong? Change minds.
You're being disingenuous again. I've already laid it out multiple times. Why the hell would I follow them there? I dont give a shit that they exist and I didn't follow them here.
Also, as noted several times already, I know who they are. I know they've been here for years. I just don't care. I'm not sure why that's so tough for you to understand.
This place has promise. The structure is good. The app environment is good. There's some bright people here.
But, this place has a significant problem. Calling them Marxists is laughable. They're nothing more than trolls. There's no political ideology involved. Just chaos and make-believe. Lemmy will be better off without them, regardless of if they helped start it or not.
Not being disingenuous. Elevate the conversation. You have opinions. Great. Convince me that Marxist Leninism isn’t the answer. Hate won’t convince people. Cogent arguments with evidence based examples will. I respect criticism of Marxist Leninist. Maybe look into how Lenin treated the other socialists after the revolution, for a start.
Brother. This is disingenuous. I've explained, again, multiple times. This is nothing about Marxist leninists. That's not the issue here.
The issue is bad actors on Lemmy. This isn't that complicated. Surely, now, after all these comments, you have to have at least the smallest understanding of the difference. If you cannot admit that there's a difference between a political ideology and idiots manipulating a political and news aggregation site, then you and I will just have to part ways there.
I'm blown away that this finally sunk in with you! Congratulations! I was starting to believe you just weren't capable.
You missed one small detail though. That the very idea of the Fediverse is for people to come here. I suppose that's why all the Lemmy users came to Reddit and screamed "Join Lemmy!!!".
The tankies we’re here before you. This was their space. You can always join Friendster, or start your own sub stack to criticize Marxist Leninism. You choose to be here and display immature contrarianism in hopes that you’ll find a like minded community. That’s not gonna happen. You have no power here.
Is this some sort of closed group? Power? I'm on no quest for power. It's an extreme distaste for dishonest, disingenuous, misinformation spreading, racist, misogyny and violent rhetoric.
Power is not something I seek. But, watching you guys fade off into obscurity like you did when you originally landed on Lemmy, that will be amusing.
Fact? What's a fact? It was started by tankies? Wtf does that have to do with anything? Do we owe them some sort of respect for blessing us with this beautiful platform?
