lemmy.ml too increasingly
I'm seeing more and more tankies migrate to lemmy.world, because they don't do anything against them, but lemmy.world is also much less likely to get defederated by other instances. Fuck big, centralized instances. People should move to smaller, niche servers like db0, blahaj.zone, beehaw, etc.
my alt is on blahaj and I really enjoy the local stuff there but its so slow for me sometimes :/
Beehaw has explicitly stated that they do not want more people to join, they want to maintain it as a micro-server, by the way.
In general, I do think joining smaller servers is a good idea.
heck you don't even have to go that far. the second picture can be pretty much every republican president whos held office. When was the last ware we started happen while a dem president was in office?

omg so true, esp on the OG Lemmy instance, where even the admins/creators of Lemmy on there are tankies.
That feeling when you get banned for mentioning Russian war crimes in Ukraine.
The pain of having to walk on eggshells just in case some admins decide to have a power mod day.
I used to have an account on lemmy.ml. I didn't know they were delusional. Now I won't even subscribe to anything on lemmy.ml.
Ate an instance wide ban for saying democratic republics are, by definition, a form of democracy 🤷♂️

Russia isn't even leftist? It's oil oligarchy and kleptocracy. They love authoritarianism, they don't give a shit about economics.
It's weird that Mao, Sun Yat Sen, and Chiang Kai Shek, were all part of the same pro-democracy party early on in China's civil war.
Mao won the war, Sun Yat Sen got out of there, Chiang Kai Shek was pushed out and became dictator of Taiwan.
China is weird.
Also weird is that one guy caused most of the deaths from famine in both the USSR and China: A conman named Trofim Lysenko, who was lying about having a new science of agriculture... He was bury seeds way further than they could handle then faking his results to keep his job.... Killed like, 30 million people who were ordered to take up his techniques.
If I remember it correctly, in China Mao ordered sparrow to be killed en masse because they supposedly ate the grain: turns out that what they ate were the pests that attacked the plants.
95% correct, the sparrows were also eating the grain, but removing the natural predator to the far worse pests resulted in far worse famine due to an explosion in population of pests. This was one of the factors that resulted in Mao losing influence in the party over time.

Still have yet to see more than a lone tankie on any thread
Plenty of people vaguely gesturing at lemmy.ml for some reason thiugh
You must have missed out on the great Lemmy he bear plague of 2023, back before they got themselves federated by everyone.
Literally any comment you made was brigade's by commies attacking your lack of anti capitalism.
Hexbear was largely not federated with anyone, they were their own site called Chapo.chat for a while, then Hexbear, then they started federating. Lemmy.world defederated from Hexbear before Hexbear even federated with Lemmy.world, but most instances retain federation with Hexbear. Hexbear did defederate from blahaj.zone and sh.itjust.works though, among others.
