    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.

        The socialists are the native inhabitants of this land, the Redditors are the ruthless imperialist colonisers.

          I’m half-Redditor, half-socialist. I hope I’m still welcome among those with a pure socialist heritage.

          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.

          Do I want to open a can of worms by asking what the ‘thing’ is?

            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.

        I went to some other comms to check their logs and it looks like you get banned everywhere you post, fella.

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

        Thanks for that, really <3

          this dude started saying something about “time to take your medicine” to an OP then started smoking crack right there in the thread.

            I got banned for genocide denial when I called Ukrainian a genocide. ML tankies are a special breed of stupid.

              Thank you! Your og ban wasn’t as funny as i’d like but the second “ban evasion” banhammer made my lips curl up some. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

              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

                  I’ve unfortunately noticed that too. We’re both getting downvoted so they are constantly lurking in the shadows like little rodents
