All these words about amish furniture and you end with a whataboutism. Amazing. All this because you truly believe that a genocide is less important than federated social media and "pluralism". I have no words. You r*dditors scare me.

Ok so you've chosen to go on a tangent about amish furniture, which apparently is more important to you than a genocide.

What you can do is find a tool to leave your small world behind.

What you can do is touch grass instead of trying to find enlightenment through some tankie's rust project.

I especially love the last one because it’s all like

“well, we used to censor them because that was good, they “poison public discourse”, but now they censor us, but that’s because we’re better at debates than them” lmao 🤥🤡

You sure owned those evil tankies with your strawmen and your clown emoji. Xi himself is going to step down over this. Lemmy, lemmygrad and lemmy.ml are all created by the same tankies you hate. As funny as it would be to see you people whine and b*tch about all these tankies while posting on tankie software om a server with a hostname ending in ml, I think it would be best for everyone if you simply moved on to pleroma. Certainly if I were in your shoes I would out of principle.

they mod them with their alts

It's not a rumor and they don't use alts. @desalinnes is the head mod of lemmygrad and lemmy.ml, and also one of the two head devs. There is no conspiracy. Lemmy was created by MLs for MLs. Stop using the evil tankie software if you disagree.

There's a hard coded filter that won't let you say the n word. I hope such evil communist censorship will convince you to use something other than lemmy.

Or you can simply use pleroma or something. Even if you pretend not to care now, later on down the road we're gonna have to listen to your kind whine about the "tankies" ad nauseam sooner or later. Get off the tankie software.

See my post here: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/30312

I've used lemmy since long before the reddit drama. The creators of lemmy are Marxist-Leninists, lemmygrad.ml is hosted and moderated by them. It is also one of the oldest instances. The ml stands for Marxist Leninist. I suggest you move on if you find all this repulsive. This honestly reminds me of when western expats would fly into asian country and complain that nobody speaks english and that "there are so many minorities here". You're on a communist forum, it's run by communists gasp.

I am diametrically opposed to the cloistering of the Amish and have nice chairs.

Another meaningless argument through analogy. Typical R*dditor. Of course now the only way to respond to this is to either go on a tangent about the Amish or painstakingly point out how almost every single detail about the topic at hand is different from Amish furniture.

The idea that the best idea shouldn’t win because they believe someone or something you don’t is lunacy when you have the entire disgression

Can't expect a r*dditor to actual read more than the bolded text I guess. It is the intention of the lemmy devs and a fact that software reflects the beliefs of the creators. I agree with the lemmy devs, but even if I didn't I don't see what makes lemmy so much better than kbin or pleroma, and why the explicit intentions of the devs shouldn't be taken into consideration.

I'm honestly curious about people like you. You seem to believe that there is a genocide going on, that there are people who support it, and that this fact is wholely insignificant when debating the oh so sacred and important topic of r*ddit alternatives. Sickening.

Hello R*ddit Refugees, I'd like to inform you all that Lemmy the software is created by communists. The ml stands for Marxist-Leninist. The head dev of lemmy hosts and moderates both lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml. Their user profile has a big banner of Mao. (https://lemmy.ml/u/dessalines), their github has a big repo listing US atrocities (https://github.com/dessalines/essays). They are what you r*dditors would describe as a "tankie". I've seem so many posts by people acting scandalized that the communist moderators of a communist forum moderate in accordance to their communist principles. I'm not here to argue politics, I'm here to suggest that perhaps you should use a different platform entirely if you disagree with the moderation here so much. There are many alternatives to lemmy like kbin.

Of course, some common reactions I've seem so far are:

"It doesn't matter, just use another instance that blocks lemmygrad".

Software reflects the beliefs of its creators; ex. R*ddit is a cesspit because Steve Huffman is a libertarian CSAM apologist who sent the main mod of r/jailbait an award. Even if you use another instance not hosted by the lemmy devs you're still using software created by a communist. For example, there is a hard coded slur filter in the lemmy code that removes words such as the n-word and similar racial slurs. Personally I think this is perfectly fine and anyone opposed to such a filter is a child, but Free speech absolutists and libertarians among you probably find such a detail abhorrent. I suggest you simply find other software, or go back to r*ddit.

"Well then we should just fork lemmy and take control from these evil communists"

You could, there's nothing stopping you, but you could also just use some other software. Many of you redditors seem to find lemmygrad to be vile amd evil supporters of genocide. Personally, if I came across software created by a genocide supporter I would not use it or any derivative simply on principle, but of course you r*dditors might have weaker morals. In technical terms, these sorts of forks based on ideological grounds simply don't last. Gab tried to do that with Mastodon and look where that went.

In conclusion, I think it would be best for everyone if those of you who disagree with Lemmy's communist affiliations chose alternative software. Lemmy isn't anything special, you can go use kbin or mastodon or pleroma if you truly want a federated r*ddit alternative. I'm sure the creators of lemmy would want the software to become popular irregardless of everyone's political beliefs, but it simply is not a tenable position to have the majority of users on the lemmyverse be diametrically opposed to the developers and the largest instances.
