Aside from other concerns, I find the association with Brexit to be less than ideal. But people should also note that this was posted on r/anarchocommunism so it makes sense they recommended lemmy.ml
Overall it's fine, we are still at the stage where just getting people to hear about the existence of Lemmy is a big win. They may join and leave, they may just navigate to the page and not join, but now they are aware of it and may eventually decide to join in the future when reddit fucks up again.
DB0 would be a far better fit like @NOT_RICK@lemmy.world said
That's true, but I'm just pointing out that it's a leftist subreddit recommending lemmy.ml, so it's not going out to a generalized audience.
And honestly they're not as tankie as people claim, that title really belongs to hexbear and lemmygrad. The management of lemmy.ml is tankie friendly, but many or even most of the users are not actually tankies.
It's very complicated because they were the main server for a long time before any of us even joined Lemmy, and all of their public descriptions don't even mention leftism at all, it's just about privacy and FOSS. Many users have made accounts there and used it for years without really caring or engaging with the tankie allegations or posts. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be.
Hexbear on the other hand is actually worse than anyone could ever explain without experiencing it for yourself. So let's not forget the two servers are not identical.
idk, i've seen screenshots and modlogs where mods ban people from every .ml community for diagreeing with them
IIRC that was an automated function that wasn't always intentional. Unfortunately I can't find the thread where I heard that. I believe it had something to do with a specific version of Lemmy though.
I've seen all the screenshots, c/meanwhileongrad is on my server. But many of those incidents have a lot of context that isn't captured by the screenshots, when you look more closely
Then how come it only removes the specific comments that annoy the mods?
The removal of certain comments is intentional and politically motivated and I don't approve. But then when you see people getting banned from like 20 other communities in the modlog due to that one comment, I think that was sometimes unintentional.
Idk, you'd think they would share the script or whatever it is, how come it doesn't happen on non-tankie friendly instances.
The management of lemmy.ml is tankie friendly, but many or even most of the users are not actually tankies.
You haven't been on .ml much or don't pay attention to the subtleties if you think the admins and main mods aren't full blown Tankies. And they're quick to silence dissenting voices that dare criticize China or Russia, no matter how deserving or right
.ml is more subtle than hex that's true, but they're absolutely Tankies just the same and consider hex and grad friends.
On the contrary, I do pay attention to the subtleties. Dessalines and many of the mods on their most active communities are tankies.
But I've never seen evidence that Nutomic is a tankie, and many of the smaller moderators and users aren't tankies either.
In fact, if you ask hexbear and lemmygrad what they think of Nutomic, they'll probably tell you he's a liberal, enlightened centrist, or cryptofascist, which all mean roughly the same thing according to their idiosyncratic version of the English language. I.e., he has been pushing back against tankies and hexbears since well before the APIcalypse, back when almost the whole Lemmy userbase was tankie.
Talking about several thousand people as if they all share the exact same political beliefs and behave the exact same way is pretty much the definition of not paying attention to the subtleties.
First of all, that has absolutely no bearing on whether or not Nutomic is a tankie. So I'm assuming you concede that you were completely wrong about that.
Second of all, that's a screenshot of a private message.
What specifically bothers you about what he said there?
Are you serious? Who says shit like that outside of being a Tankie?
At this point I can see where this is going and I no longer believe you to be arguing in good faith and is probably just being a Tankie apologist.
Goodbye.
Uhhhh, hexbear is supposedly like 20% trans or something. They have preferred pronouns baked into the software. Tankies on Lemmy vocally love trans people.
You don't actually have any rational explanation for what it is that is problematic about Nutomic, it's just something you heard somewhere and are blindly repeating.
I have a very long track record on Lemmy of opposing tankies, so the accusations of being a tankie apologist are easily disproven. At least for those who care enough to actually do their own research, instead of simply parroting whatever gossip happens to float into their ears.
You're the one making an extraordinary claim that goes against literally everyone else. The onus is on you to provide evidence and "rational explanations" that support your claim
