Not to be "that guy" but lemmygrad is not about national socialism. They are but jobs that will do Olympic level mental gymnastics routines to defend anything and everything Russia or China does, but that doesn't make then Nazis, "just" on the same moral level as Nazis.
- They're tankies. Pure and simple. Sick of people calling them socialists, they aren't even communists. They're delusional anti-western China/Russia good, tankies.
- You're right they aren't Nazis. But they do want a warped form of national socialism. One that honestly goes against the basic intent of socialism as originally envisioned. Like the other national socialists.
  
  Leninists, Soviet Russia, North Korea, China all qualify as socialism and communism only by the flimsiest most dishonest pretenses. They are more than an anything authoritarian. Anything else is just coincidental.
- Amazing that your comment shows +15 and -0 votes at the moment. A month ago or thereabouts I made similar comments comparing Communists to Nazis in regard to how authoritarianism is bad and people hated that shit.
  
  EDIT: haha there's my downvotes, bring it on you commie dipshits. Fuck communism, fuck the CCP, fuck Russia and all the rest.
  
  Communists are barely better than Nazis.
  
  Communists are great. Authoritarians are the problem. Much like how Nazis called themselves socialists, plenty of other awful people like to adopt our words and twist them to manipulate.
  
  I don't think you know what communism is and how Russia /China/etc. fail at it. Speaking as a non-communist, I I think you should seek to deepen your understanding before engaging with the topic further.
  
  There exist anti-authoritarian communists. (They're called "anarchists". Pro-capitalists have in relatively recent times appropriated the term, so don't let them confuse you.) You're getting downvotes because you're conflating communism with authoritarianism just because you've personally never had experience with anarchists.
  
  My instance doesn't have downvotes and this feels very reddity to me
Here we go again!
- Thank you for your service.
They're don't believe in socialism, they believe in authoritarianism. Therefore, they will defend any ancillary ethos.
- I'm so glad this instance understands the difference and has good takes on Palestine and Israel. Reddit is chockful of... shit when i decided to browse it earlier.
- Nazis: Socialism for me but not for ye.
  
  There was absolutely no socialism for anyone in the Nazi regime.
The mods on lemmy.ml are a bunch of sensitive bitches. I once made a meme criticizing the lack of concrete rules... It got deleted
- The only concrete rule is don't question authority
- Don't like it, don't use it. Why are you being a crybaby?
~~national socialism~~ authoritarian communism

FIFY
- For sure, i live in canada, which has socilistic institutions (national healthcare, social security, ect)
  
  I'm a huge fan of some socialism, but do NOT want to see full communism.
  
  These are not socialist institutions, they're capitalist institutions. You pay for their services and you get the services you were promised.
- In real world terms, sure, but this was definitely a reference to what the Nazis called themselves.
I filter that whole server. It's a ridiculous amount of propaganda.

Users need the power to block servers.
- Users also need the ability to block replies on specific comments/posts. Say anything that goes against their group think and you'll get a ton of replies
- It's an upcoming general feature, but in the meantime several of the third party apps let you block by instance. I use Connect, and I've heard Boost does too.
  
  I blocked hexbear, because they tend to start fights everywhere, and the NSFW instances so I can use my phone around my kids.
average .ml behavior lol
I have the time. I mean, it's gotta be a pretty short conversation because there are no benefits.
- I mean, there are if you’re „arian“, not disabled or otherwise made a target and don’t get snitched on by your neighbors.
  
  In that case you can live like a „free“ person while people around you „disappear“ which would not freak you out at all. (/s)
  
  You are not actually free though because if you openly criticize anything, you disappear as well.
  
  I suppose the common theme is „murderous authoritarianism“.
Response from Lemmy.world “Do you have a second to remove my boot from your ass?"
Can someone tell me what specifically got Lemmygrad.ml defederated? Was there a particular post or community or a pattern of behavior?
- Pattern of behaviour that the Lemmygrad.ml mods both allowed and participated in. Many of the Lemmygrad communities had already been defederated before this point due to moderation issues.
- I believe there was a server, "Meanwhile on grad" watching their clearly hysterical behaviour. It was very much like subreddits watching TheDonald, the mods are idiots, too. I'm sure that "Meanwhile on grad" server still exists, but I got subscriptions and stopped looking at other servers.
Good post
- Appreciated.
There's another name for rightwingers: regressivist idiots.
You know it baffles in my mind that pleated pants ever existed.
