I’ve not been here long, but I’m curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.

    What? The whole point of Lemmy is to be defederated. A leftist safe zone still exists, they have their own instance.

      The leftist safe zone is and always was a lie, anyway. They’re just fascists LARPing as a communist vanguard.

        Vanguard ideology is the weakest point of Leninism. It always attracts those seeking power. But there’s nothing stopping a leftist group from owning a lemmy instance and banning everyone that disagrees with their flavor of leftism.

        I wasn’t gonna start a fight here though lol. The entire place was infested with tankies. The dude I responded to is probably a tankie.

        I laughed when the complaint was liberals invading Lemmy lmao.

        I have never once met a person who talks like this who has also made a good faith effort to under Marxist thought. Why are you so confident? We’ve been around for hundreds of years, we have a lively and robust intellectual landscape, and calling us red fash without even making an attempt to hear us out hurts you more than it hurts us.

          Communism is decent, tankies rarely are. Zealots in general are awful, in my opinion, but especially political zealots.

          Dissent = ban happens either way. I’m already banned from Lemmygrad for "anticommunism ".

          Try going to any “scientific socialist” community and tell them you don’t believe what Trotsky said about the Kronstadt sailors.

          Watch criticism of party structures and leaders get flattened into base-anticommunism.

          I’ve read and listened to plenty of Marxists, enough for me to trust in their analysis, and not their ability to talk to people who don’t know how, or don’t want to learn how to walk on your eggshells.

      Liberals not realizing that liberalism is also an ideology and not just “default way of being”. What we really need is a liberal safe zone so that y’all can have your own instance.
