    You can see it now very clearly. The meta is massive blocks of text with a dozen citations that must take an incredible amount of time to create, or are being assisted by an LLM. If you don’t reply to doubt or trolling with 10,000 words, you ain’t really communist.

    They’ve created a Facebook Christian type prosetylization communication style that is both super comfy to members and even more isolating to outsiders. Your knowledge must be doctoral level.

    It looks like when bones of the moon would post the sovereign citizen shit. Then if you even slightly call it out you get modded off. So these posts are just paragraphs and paragraphs of replies full of citations replying to deleted comments. It’s crazy to see how the echo chamber has progressed over time.

      It always surprises me that Lemmy MLs are so incredibly tribal. There’s no interest in evangelism or outreach, which baffles me because political change require consent (or lethal violence). Why the hell did they adopt an ActivityPub app if they’re so intensely insular?

        they talk about controlled opposition and fbi sabotage a lot

        but i am convinced that the various flavors of idiot have one thing in common, which is wanting to put lots of effort into not accomplishing goals, wanting to put effort into stopping others from accomplishing goals, and wanting to guilt others into transfering their effort from goals to anti-goals

        tankies are a subtype of the this which is why they overlap so much with genocide joe catchphrase people. who gives a shit if they are useful idiots or just the regular kind

        Because they didn’t have the level of control they wanted, or the mechanisms to prevent being censored they wanted, on other social networks.

        Federation allows anyone who finds their ideas censored on one community to make their own. If they get censored from an entire instance they can hypothetically spin up their own instance relatively cheaply. As long as a few instances federate with yours, your content can spread pretty damn far.

        All the while, within the bounds of your own instance you control it all.

        So it’s a combination of reach and control.

        Once we start the revolution and take over the government buildings, we will have full consent of the people, and well if they don’t support it then y’know…

    My Lemmy/Threadiverse experience got much better when I blocked lemmy.ml. Not because they’re communist, but because they’re tremendous jerks. If I become a communist, it won’t be because of Dessalines and their disciples.

    Honestly, I am not going to defend IntrovertTurtle after he/she/they was being transphobic and defending transphobia in my thread.

      Two things can be wrong. Pointing one out isn’t defending the other. In fact it makes it worse that there could have been valid reason. But ML gonna ML and be authoritarian, defending the structures of power instead of the people. But I definitely feel you.
