[email protected] restricts saying anything even vaguely anti-russian in a time when Russia is effectively trying destroy the west. At the same time, they're allowing rather blatant anti-west sentiment. And I'm not saying that that's fundamentally bad, but rather that there is no such thing as unbiased.
Reddit sure sucks and needs to die though. But their bias of not supporting murder is somewhat understandable.
[email protected] blocks Luigi posting https://lemmy.world/comment/15689396
Its not murder, it's self defense. A mass murderer was stopped by Luigi, end of story.
The government has accused Luigi of stopping a mass murderer.
And somehow they've spun that as terrorism.
Hmm, I shit on Russia all the time every chance I get and as far as I know I was never warned about it, even on lemmy.ml
Did you do so in a community located on lemmy.ml? Try it, it should be fairly quick, and you'll be banned from communities that you've never even heard of, for violating a rule that is written down nowhere that I can find.
Or maybe after the election seasons, they might not be as quick these days? It might have accomplished its purpose already.
Russia is a reactionary capitalist shit hole, I wish it wasn't but here we are. many such cases
I saw the Hammer and Sickle on lemmy.ml and that was enough for me to know that they were probably Campists and Stalinists lol.
I guess it's good Lemmy has the different instances(?) even tho it's a bit annoying.
There's going to be Marxists on Lemmy, the lead developers of the software are Marxist-Leninists and some of the largest instances are explicitly Socialist-aligned.
Yeah I'm a Marxist as well just not that sort
Sure, but the vast majority of Marxists globally are Marxist-Leninists, and Lemmy's makeup reflects that.
I'm a Marxist Leninist, just not a campist or Stalinist tho
The hammer and sickle is a symbol of Marxism-Leninism, though, the hammer being for the proletariat and sickle for the peasantry. This is just kinda silly
But it's associated in my experience with uncritical support of the USSR in the Stalinist period.
The overwhelming majority of Marxist-Leninists support the USSR, but don't feel that it was a paradise nor free from mistake, including in the era of Stalin. The hammer and sickle is associated with Marxism-Leninism, and the various Marxist-Leninist parties, groups, and countries around the world.
Great thing about Lemmy is that I can block all instances from lemmy.ml.
