I personally like it
-
Tankies made the software.
-
Conservatives left Reddit after The Donald got banned, and the bulk of the users on Lemmy came from Reddit.
-
Libertarians are busy arguing over New Hampshire’s twitter.
I don’t really see the link between these three points.
Could you elaborate?
If there were a lot more conservatives or libertarians, the OP might not think there are a lot of communist posters here. Because there are a lot of left leaning people here who upvote anti-capitalist posts and comments, it is easy for the OP to reach the conclusion that there are a lot of communists. My three points explain 1) why the platform was already predisposed towards leftist thought in general, 2 and 3) why there are not a lot of right leaning ideas to balance out the ratio.
I’m not sure if you’re aware but “commie” is a derogatory term … if you didn’t know that it’s fine. Now you do.
If you did know that and you’re intending to be derogatory then go fuck yourself.
You say, on the original server which isn’t .ml because of a connection to Mali (it’s Marxist-Leninist).
Because the internet is a place where people from the real world come to share their thoughts? I hate to break it to you, but their presence here means they exist in the real world too. So your question could just as well be “why are there so many commies in the world”?
Why so snarky? I just noticed that fed is way more communist than any other space I have ever been in and I am a lecturer at a very left leaning University, living in a very left leaning community.
I only replied with a snarky tone because you started the thread with snark in the title.
Guess it must be that they feel comfortable sharing their views here unlike in real life. I’m all for it, if that’s the case. People should be able to express themselves.
Sorry if I came across that way my friend.
I am a neutral observer and was just surprised. Wish you all the best in your endeavours. Keep well.
