I can’t get rid of it, it’s obnoxious. I’ve tried filtering the element with my adblocker but it keeps reappearing. As much as I find Reddit useful (unfortunately), especially for information and discussion relating to my country, I will never install their proprietary garbage app on my phone just to use their website.
Oh well. I’ve used the Internet before Reddit existed, I’m sure I can get used to doing so again.
Just block a large chunk of .ml and .hexbear stuff and you’ll see 95% less commies.
commies aren’t even the issue it’s the tankies. definitely a lot more leftist presence on lemmy than average (though that’s true for the internet as well I feel) but most of them aren’t just whiplashing straight over to bootlicking the anti-western dictators instead.
Commies are fine, the pro-military tankies are the issue.
Commie here, please don’t confuse Tankies who are basically just nationalists for non-US aligned countries with me.
So you don’t think life is so much better in N. Korea than South like memes say?
Those guys are a strange phenomenon and I get why people block them but it’s also fascinating as like a performative art or something.
I’m probably further left than almost everyone I know IRL, but never seen people go that hard into it. It’s wild.
I’ve met people who were like the lite version of them, but maybe they just don’t say it to me but do on Lemmy.
No North Korea is an authoritarian regime that doesn’t even claim to be communist anymore.
Sadly I’m involved in American left politics which means I have met freaks that think China is better than the US, and would defend the USSR, I’m not quite sure if they’d defend "DP"RK, but frankly they are annoying so I have as little to do with them as possible.
Yeah there is a lot of keyboard warrioring involved, much like white nationalists, get them out from their basement and they’ll try and act normal though.
Yeah, in wasn’t trying to imply you’d be pro D. P. R. K. in
CincinnatiPyongyang because you identified as commie. More like it’s just kind of head scratching to see people dismiss criticism of them or Pol Pot or something, because the US also did atrocious crazy things too, like they both aren’t fucking horrific.I’m just not used to anyone being apologetic about anything a ‘communist’ country does. Im used to people trying to distance themselves them from the actions of certain countries if they call themselves a communist, which makes seeing people lean into seem interesting. I just didn’t want to use the Reddit app so wasn’t expecting this major shift
