This is literally on .ml, why are liberals flooding the comments.
Be happy the liberals are allowed to see this
If .worlders could see hexbear and lemmygrad, they'd have an aneurysm. But then some of them would recover and look further into it and realize the commies are right. But that is of course why they're not allowed to see it, as you said.
Absolutely nothing of value was lost when my instance defederated from Hexbear
When a person sees no value in challenging their misconceptions, but only a threat to be shunned, it makes sense they would say that, yeah.
It’s more about immature and angsty dorks than “challenging misperceptions”
Just like the far right, everything's just reflection for you guys? The horseshoe is real.
The western-supremacists literally can't keep their mouths shut, when given a chance to denounce any country they consider "barbarian".
Because Lemmy.ml is federated with anti-leftist instances like Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ca. Lemmy.ml has a weird mix of very pro-Leftist posters and very anti-Leftist commenters because of this, people tend to post more on their own instances but often times scroll by all for commenting.
More self-sufficient Leftist instances like Hexbear or Lemmygrad don't see the same circumstances.
Why are liberals on a decentralized platform anyway? Surely the free market has provided adequate platforms for everyone's needs
The Liberals on instances like Lemmy.world are too ideological to stay on Reddit, but have read no Marxist Theory and have not correctly identified the reasons why Reddit went wrong, and was always destined to go wrong. If they were Leftists, they would join an instance that doesn't defederate with Leftists as policy.
That's why Lemmy.world is just Reddit 2.
They left reddit to teach them a lesson for changing the recipe of their favorite capitalist treat, but have given no thought or import to the decentralized nature of the platform they left it for.
While I basically agree with this, I would argue there may be some liberals who just haven't been exposed to actual communism/been too heavily propagandized and seeing the discourse on very left instances could gain some supporters. I guess this specific post comment section is maybe a bad example, but I would venture a guess most leftists were liberals once
This is the case for the great majority of us socialists on Lemmy, yes.
Reddit took away their precious apps, that's the only reason. They have no problems at all with its western-supremacist political aims.
I’ve noticed “leftists” on Lemmy are reeeeaaallly confused about US politics.
Don't cheer for Communism (or China) , means to be anti-leftist??
Since when?
Yes.
Since the Paris Commune.
Lemmy.world directly opposes Marxism, and Marxist instances. That's an anti-Leftist stance. Liberalism is the status quo, which is Right-Wing.
I don't agree. Lemmy.world opposed (very)exaggerated extremisms of all the kind so far. One of the first post i've read on lemmy one year ago was about the defederation of some nazi instances. Nothing is perfect but calling lemmy.world anti-Leftist is a bit of a stretch.
Not if you have rigorous definitions of terms. You can't call yourself a leftist and be anti-communist. The desire to abolish capitalism and move to a communist society is the defining trait of the left. The only distinction between tendencies is the method they wish to pursue that goal.
The problem with debates like this is that the only people participating in it who actually know what they're talking about are the communists.
Lemmy.world is explicitly against Marxism, they defederated from Lemmygrad and Hexbear because of this, and sabre-rattle about defederating from even Lemmy.ml. This is anti-Marxism, plain and simple.
We are federated to liberal instances
Federation
Free internet.
Sorry, are we disturbing your echo-chamber?
Accusations of an “echo chamber” or a “bubble” are always rich. As if we weren’t & aren’t still exposed to exactly the same life-long liberal indoctrination, education, and propaganda.
Top two comments can be paraphrased as " waah, they are talking to us"
😂
Hey look it's the guy from the comic.
Would you join me in supporting a defederation between lemmy.ml and these evil liberal instances? JOIN ME COMRADE WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT OUR CHAINS
