Every time I see an anti-.ml meme I wonder, why are people so worried about people seeing .ml content? If they're jerks, wouldn't you want people to stumble into .ml and find out?
Before I found out, I would have preferred to find out naturally. After I did stumble in and find out, I wished somebody had warned me.
Anti-leftism is an all consuming, load-bearing pillar of fascism. Since .ml is tangentially leftist aligned...
Authoritarians are not leftists LMAO
No one "worries" about seeing it. It's that if you engage with anyone from, or anything posted in, a .ml, about any topic at all, you'll eventually be hit with "capitalism causes all problems in the universe" or the rest of their standard "I'm 19 and this is deep" tankie talking points like some mandatory checklist of things they have to cram into every post or they get kicked out of the instance. It's exhausting and pointless. No one runs around elsewhere in Lemmy making it a point to defend capitalism, so it's just of a constant eye-roll when "I'm an independent thinker! Here's the same thing we all say!" happens.
Edit: OOOh, seems like I struck a nerve, eh?
When people post comments like yours or memes like the above it really comes off as defending capitalism and the status quo...
Then block them and quit whining that people don't like exploitation as much as you.
Certain people just like echo chambers and can't see the value of opposing beliefs or arguments, no matter the level of sense that those may or not make.
My conspiracy is that people are trying to ramp up enough of a campaign to defederate from .ml, not knowing it's history on Lemmy and how most .ml users are actually quite chill and actually genuine people once you get to know them. I mean Jesus Christ guys, .ml users arent all bots.
It does seem that way. I think you're right
Libs vs tankies is just an extension of imperial conflict.
