What’s even left on lemmy if you block everything left leaning? Might as well not come to this place
Well, lemmy.world is what remains.
…may I strongly encourage you to join a different instance?
Firstly, I was talking on their behalf.
Secondly even lemmy.world is kinda left leaning
“it’s not left unless it’s strictly my definition of left”
Lemmy.world’s mod/admin team has a very well documented history of being heavily biased in the direction of genocidal Zionists, blatant double standards when it comes to things like ICE (illegal state sponsored terrorism) vs non state sponsored terrorism.
And they’re just needlessly petty.
Literally Stamets used to be part of that team, discovered the extent of that bullshit personally… an LW mod had a hissy fit over Canadian terminology and government procedure… and deciding to start ban hammering people over it.
Stamets is Canadian, and tried to explain to that mod that they were mistaken, confused.
They doubled down, it blew up into a similar popcorn level event… Stamets left LW, and now he is on this stealth block list.
The LW team have no problem being duplicitous and covert in enforcement over their little fiefdoms, and the defense of their own egos.
Again, I implore you to leave.
I think OP understands there is space to the left of US democrats, and the discourse tends to be “Kinda left” by commonly understood definition.
Also some of us enjoy a lot of non-political content, and World is fine for that.
lemmy.world is more left than the Tankie Triad but it’s still funding them so I say leave the entirety of Lemmy behind and go piefed.
Wasn’t Piefed adding code to block people from upvoting and downvoting too much? If they’re on Lemmy a lot they might not appreciate that kind of restriction, especially if they post a lot of content.
Piefed doesn’t look that better tbh
Let me start by saying this is is just an observation, not directed specifically at you.
But, this is the issue with left vs right politics. It’s not that you’re not “left enough” it’s that you’re practically on different planets arguing which way is West. Both of you orient towards north, and then walk to the left, but you’re never going to meet up. And that’s because you’re not even on the same planet. Your foundations for what basic human rights are is fundamentally different.
A capitalist will say “everyone deserves the house they can afford”, while a communist will say “everyone deserves a house.”
.world from my observation has been very capitalist, and yeah, that tracks considering it’s kinda like the “reddit instance” its comfortable for a lot of people. But I personally would never join as a member, for as many issues as .ml and dbzer0 have, I prefer to broaden my viewpoints than to keep seeing the same capitalist viewpoints repeated over and over again.
Tankies would be there, but actually Tankies maintain lemmy to begin with.. That’s why I use piefed.
