You're viewing a single thread.
Also has barely any community, is leaning deep into praising authoritarian countries, is gloryfying violence and has huge moderation issues. You can make everything sound good, but lemmy will never be a true alternative. It will grab a wave of people, lose it till the next controversy pops up and the cycle will repeat. Till there is an actual alternative that becomes available. Same as with Mastodon and Bluesky
leaning deep into praising authoritarian countries,
Like... more than Reddit? Do you have some examples so we can see which countries you think are authoritarian? Some... groups... believe Canada is authoritarian.
This user has always been very negative towards the platform, not sure why
I think this user might be unable to separate non black the white discussions on communism with "supporting Russia and China".
Praising Russia, praising China is a norm here. We don't need to point to people who go "no you"
I've never seen anyone praising Russia here. I've seen critical support for the CCP and USSR but that is not the same thing. Critical being the operative word implying that people are recognizing the merits of those governments without offering them full support. Shades of Gray my friend.
Then you haven't been paying attention, plain and simple. Full on Russia praise, full on China praise, with both countries unable to do wrong. Revieionist history. Gaslighting. Plenty of it around.
Can I have links to people saying these things? Just genuinely curious because ive not seen anything like this either
... Seriously? Links to shit that's happening everywhere? Just go to a random thread about Ukraine, Poland or similar. An example from a week ago:
I'm not sure what your point is with that one.
It's pretty much just saying that Russia is no longer communist.
Perhaps you think pointing out that communism isn't inherently bad is somehow supporting Russia?
My friend did you just pick a random link and hope people wouldn't click it?
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/17026803, the link you posted, does nothing you've suggested, and even if it did both of the comments highlighted under that link are controversial, neither having a significant weighting in either directions for community support.
Fair take there.
will never be
Heyy we’re Lemmy let’s be nice to each other please
You're saying that as if it means anything. There is no "better" userbase. Reddit had this weird superiority complex too.
Suppose I’m rejecting the appearance of defeatism there with that one. We got this! (if we try)
Ah ya
Well! Meant -
we’re Lemmy
More than
we’re Lemmy
e.g., meant “hey, WE are US” (regardless of who we are)
hehe :)
