You gotta remember that no one except known communists are pitched lemmy on the basis that it’s developed by a communist. Everyone else gets that fact omitted.
And liberalism only survives in people that are fundamentally incurious about the conditions under which the goods and services they use are manufactured or arise.
I never cared about those politics, it’s just all the drama that gets weird. No developer is required to disclose they’re a what-ist. You would hear a lot more about it from whiny Americans, if so.
Finally somebody says it. I was pitched Lemmy as a version of reddit that won’t enshittify because it isn’t run by Spez. There was no mention of communism whatsoever. I came expecting reddit as it had existed a few years prior to the API debacle. Now everyday I have to read a genocide denier accuse someone of supporting genocide because they voted against a fascist who supports genocide. Make it make sense.
And like, the communist thing isn’t a problem in itself, but there is some kind of brain rot going on in this particular online space. You know last week I stumbled into a thread full of people claiming that North Korea is some kind of utopia and all the overwhelming evidence to the contrary is propaganda? That’s not regular leftist discourse, that’s some kind of looney tunes shit.

That’s like, 95% of people, yeah.

Reddit was awful from the moment it was created because it was designed to commodity and control the commons.
