I can tell you Lemmygrad and Lemmy.ml are not the same. If anything, lemmy.ml is privacy/tech based more than anything, with disdain for capitalism. They're not hardcore "AYE, COMRADE" like hexbear or lemmygrad, Jesus christ
Theyre run and populated by the exact same people, bud
They are a little bit more mask on than mask off, but they are just as hardcore tankie because its literally the same people
NO??? ml was the first general purpose instance and so had the most amount of users at the beginning, meaning a lot of normal communities developed there
Don't confuse the newbie who just got out of his Reddit bubble, he's scared and alone
Right, keep pretending the admins arent the same. Blame reddit for your confusion over 2 servers being owned by the same people.
Surely you will look clever, and smart. No one will find you out
I don't think they're arguing that?
Oh good! Let's trot out the condescension!
Your sense of entitled elitism does not redound to the quality of your character.
"Newbie" is name calling???
there's a lot of paranoia about some of the least threatening people I've ever encountered
There are communities around Lemmy dedicated to "just making lists" of leftists who also consider a middle school anarchist using an emote of Stalin as supporting genocide.
As far as I have been able to discern: a lot of reddit transplants got called nazis by established lemmy communities, so there's kind of this whole weird internal Lemmy movement to try define 'tankie' as widely and negatively as 'nazi'.
I mean, you'd think OP would know what instances they would want to block from, you know, using Lemmy. They seem to know what is 'cringe', but want or need that anti-leftist qualifier for good measure.
