You are right it does have its funny moments. Was checking out kbin.social to see what it was like and it’s funny how lemmy.ml which used to be a safe place for pro Putin and pro Kim Un people is now being abused because the instance didn’t make their beliefs explicitly known and accepted too many mainstream individuals. lemmy.ml isn’t the safe place it used to be when they venture out of lemmygrad.ml with this take over.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens to lemmy.ml, since the instance being overrun with people putting down instead of supporting their idea of the communist cause can’t be making them happy. Will they give up and let people say what they want and consider the instance a lost cause with the influx of users, or do mass bans.

No do you worship people?

Because it’s up to each instance to decide what they want. If people don’t like it they can migrate to one that fits it.

I think people are too used to the idea of a one place shop and except lemmy to be everything, but it’s better to think of instances as separate sites. Like how sites might be built off wordpress but each is their own.

I understand people want a centralized reddit type replacement when it comes to interactions for everyone that is involved, but lemmy isn’t that type of place. Each instance is insulated as much as it wants to be.

If people don’t like lemmy.fmhy.ml approach then for example lemmy.ml is an option that chooses to be federated with lemmygrad.ml with the admin there having affiliations there

https://lemmy.ml/instances

And lemmy.ml is still federated with lemmy.fmhy.ml so people can access this instance and also interact with the community on lemmygrad.ml. Basically find the instance that is connected to the instances you want to be. People are not locked to having to use instances that block ones that they want to see and interact with.

Like my account is a perfect example. I’m not on lemmy.fmhy.ml. I’m from sh.itjust.works. But, I am blocked off from beehaw. If that bothers me I can find another place that doesn’t block me from beehaw, but also has access to this instance.

Yeah, if people wanted more lax moderation they’d have been using the now dead Voat or 4chan.

Even lemmygrad.ml wants censorship

We’ll go through each account application with due diligence, but we would like you to know before you request an account that Lemmygrad is a Marxist instance, principally Marxist-Leninist. We like Stalin and we uphold the DPRK’s sovereignty and legitimacy over the whole of Korea. We love China’s Socialism with Chinese Characteristics.

There is no mainstream social media that doesn’t have censorship. Even reddit that has been the cause of lot of adoption of lemmy is censorship.

People do gravitate towards communities that have the moderation standards they want. The other options is spinning up your own.

Not to different from how it was in reddit where subreddits that have been banned over the years and still continued to function. Either way, beauty of lemmy is that there is nothing preventing users of lemmygrad.ml from viewing the content on this site logged out or creating an account here.

Each instance is going to have their separate set of moderation approaches. There isn’t one that is entirely “free speech”. Already seen what happens with those with examples like voat. Then there’s 4chan. So there will be rules to foster the atmosphere instances want. Even lemmygrad.ml has application processes, bans, and blocks of instances so there is all a mutual understanding of the rules of each instance.

They are The Donald of their sect.

By experience, most internet users who self-identified as Communists and oppose Stalin tend to be either brainwashed people in countries that are under the rule of Westen European diaspora or trolling bots. Is there any real Communists who actually oppose Stalin? Stalin receive the most slander in Western European diaspora because he refused the destruction of USSR through an unsustainable war against Fascism and he forced the desolution of alliance by British and French empires with Hitler’s Nazi Germany. The Liberals complained about the non-agreession pact between Stalin and Hitler, even when the Western European empires forced Stalin to make the peace pact, that buy time for war preparation by USSR against Hitler at a time when USSR is too underindustrialized and too devasted from the Russian civial war that was more damaging than World War 1.

DPR Korea isn’t sovereign over the whole of Korea. Not yet, anyway. Hopefully soon.

They are not your mainstream idea of socialists or communist, but have more in common with alt right fascist groups than they themselves would like to admit. Just the worshiping of centralized figure heads with life long terms who happen to have more power and wealth than the people they rule over seems contrary to the ideals of communism and socialism.

They even use libs as an insult just like alt right groups do. They have more in common with fascism despite them saying they are communist or socialists.

Some delightful comments by them. They are The Donald of their sect.

In that case keep up the good fight. I wonder what would be the best approach to break this association of communism on lemmy that has become tied with the ideals of lemmygard.ml. It makes it extra challenging now with lemmy.ml having been and still continues to be the most recommended instance to join. Which will lead people who joined lemmy without fully understanding federations thinking all of lemmy shares the views of lemmygrad.ml and then leading to further spread of misinformation of this open source project.

On other social media it makes sense. But, here I just assume they are probably part of lemmygrad.ml. This place has had a way of warping communist into me perceiving it as fascist cause here.

Kind of like if this were instead a Nazi founded open source project that pushed themselves as vegan. Normally vegan wouldn’t really warrant another glance, but the history of place has kind of warped regular terms in some hilarious ways.

Beautiful curation team. Quickly became my go torrent site when I got started. Still cry about it.
