This person suggests moving away from :reddit-logo: and recommends "soft-forking" Lemmy because of the developers' stances on muh human rights:
There's threads denyng the oppression of Uyghur muslims (this oppression has been well documented by NGOs, for example: https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/asa17/4137/2021/ug/).
Other posts deny that North Korea is oppressive.
Meanwhile, another suggests celebrating Stalin's birthday as he was such a great guy.
(Incidentally, I have receipts, DM me if you want to see them for yourself.)
God, I hate tech communities so fucking much
i saw this shit spammed all over :reddit-logo: every time anybody brought up lemmy at all.
it was so copy-pasted i assumed it was an op
Oh absolutely. They nuked the LemmyMigration community (as well as KbinMigration) right away to fragment any discussion, ban people posting links for "spam," but then allow these people to run all over the place screaming "red fash tankies." It is deliberate.
ah ok explains why i even saw it in r/traans in top comments every time lemmy or hexbear was brought up.
Lol at the Rust community pissing and shitting about Dessalines being communist so hard that they're pitching using a PHP app instead of the "tankie" Rust app.
If I had artistic skills, I'd make an edit of that downloading piracy is communism poster but replace piracy with lemmy.

I won't post them for review and comment because then I'd get roasted but I will engage with you individually!
:SHUT-UP:
Fucking liberals don't even bother to think about what exists in the world of "anti-corporate" when they say this shit.
There are two choices in the world of disconnecting from corporations, far left or far right. If you attack the left, you will empower the far right, that's just how it is. There will be no middle project because liberals support the fucking status quo, they built the corporate system, it's their fucking system. :aaaa:
Spez is a doomsday prepper that thinks he's going to own slaves one day and he hates John Brown posting and communities that do it.
This guy is so close to getting it but just falls short. He gets that Reddit and corporate-controlled social media presents problems, but misses the understanding of how American hegemony made it all seem just fine and palatable to him not too long ago. Therefore, he cannot extrapolate how American hegemony influences his ideology on other matters.
Reminds me of that kind of anti-consumerism where people know something is wrong, but have no ideological or historical understanding of how we got there, and therefore cannot identify the root causes of their anger.
I, too, support any movement which tries to cut ties with imperial US companies etc. lets put stuff into open source licenses that countries with slavery are banned form using it at least?
