          It’s only us vs the billionaires! Don’t let them try to pit us against each other!

          Anyone who owns more than two houses deserves to die!

          Anyone who works X job is a bastard, no matter how much good they do.

          No, I will not run for local elections.

          No, I will not give up Xitter I need it to follow my niche artists despite them having accounts on multiple other platforms including BlueSky.

          No I will not give up Facebook. I need it to poke meemaw and check the marketplace for things I’ll never buy or sell because Craigslist amirite?

          At least all you twats use ETA less than they do on reddit. That bugs me way more than it should.

              Yeah ya see, he’s stuck. how will he spread the light of his superiorioriority unless he comes to speak to the filth?

              It was probably a sacrifice but Im so glad he took the time to show us what is possible.

              What an inspiration

        There’s also the part that is into crushing with a tank people who don’t hate the USA more than anything in the universe.

          Honestly I feel like most people on here are just tired of the ultra-capitalistic hell neoliberalism threw us into and want a better system that doesn’t rape dry the Earth and doesn’t allow companies to have the same wealth as entire states. Those people you mention are just a very loud, screaming minority.

            I’m part of these people, I think most of them are social democrat and don’t have any illusion about supposedly socialist countries.
            Yes, they are a minority since .world became the biggest player, but they are still very visible if you mention those subjects and countries, they are going to pop up.

                  Ah… so let me get this straight. So instead of being poor in a capitalist country, you’d rather be poor in a communist country?

                  No, he’s not. He’s talking about supposedly-socialist people in the USA who idealize vaguely socialism related countries like Russia or China, and think they would have a better life in these countries.

                    The Russian Federation isn’t socialist in any way. China has a Socialist Market Economy, that’s true, but nobody idolizes Russia nor do they believe they would live a better life there.

                    That’s not socialists though. We call them tankies as an umbrella term.

      Bagging Reddit is actually kinda discouraged, more Linux and communism. Or at least screeching about capitalism at every opportunity.

        Yeah, for a website forged almost exclusively from former Redditors and especially ones who got burned by Reddit’s abysmal leadership, I rarely see complaints about Reddit on here – arguably far fewer than on Reddit itself.

            Or maybe the Redditors are refugees and the lemmy nativists have convinced themselves they are eating their pets.

              He says that because the creators are tankies and so were the first communities built around them like .ml administrated by the creators. Last year’s Redditors migration after the API change moved the political center more towards social democracy and the people center towards .world.

                Indeed, but the old tankie instances still exist, same as always. The centrists went elsewhere, to non-tankie instances that were set up for them.

                Colonization involves taking somebody else’s land, but this is more like creating more land out of thin air and settling there.

                  I think those people consider the Lemmy federation to be their playground, and they are being xenophobic about others, but since there is not supposed to be xenophobia in their ideology, they call it colonialism instead.

          That’s been a welcome change in the last ~6 months. It was a fire hose blast of people going back and forth on whether a ‘thing’ was brought over from reddit, and whether or not it was welcome.

              Oh, just insert whatever you remember from reddit. Replies that are obviously jokes but off topic, mimicking a meme or such; doing the ‘follow the link’ meme (though I only remember that one popping up once or twice); sounding out a sentence one word per reply… I saw all of those get panned or promoted. Some people screamed about leaving such habits at reddit, others thought they were the height of humor.

                There’s a lot of those jokes that will hopefully die on the platform. They had well and truly run their course even on Reddit.

          Haha! nothing effin funnier than reading the hurt feelings of someone who got what they deserved.

                It’s just a huge problem on Lemmy. Right now there isn’t enough content really to justify defederating so it’s like they are the weird family members than you can’t stand but have to somewhat tolerate
