Lemmy isn’t “too extreme,” a very small subset of Lemmings are just fucking insufferable.
…have these people met certain redditors? 🧐
News: People on the internet find out some people on the internet grinds their gears
I mean, tankies are kinda worse.
Edit: seems this post is controversial! Let me clarify.
Tankies are definitely worse. 🥂
I think it’s just a symptom of “people”.
I see Roy I upvote
There is a lot of political and other “adult” discourse. Not extreme, but more exhausting for a person wanting memes, gifs, and lols. I imagine the median age here is higher than that of Reddit. Can’t confirm, but it certainly conducts itself with less…“juvenility”…or some word.
I actually hope more middle ground right leaning people migrate.
Fuck leftists.
Be a centrist or GTFO
Lol lemmy is just as corrupt as reddit. I’ve seen so many agendas on both sides pushed lately it’s hilarious you think this is only leftys.
Why does everything need to be politicized? No one gives a flying fuck if you’re a leftist, unless you’re a Leftist and no one gives a fuck if you’re a right winger unless you’re a right winger. Jesus christ the US Politics are absolute fucking cancer.
It’s considered ‘left’ to support queer and trans rights, and there are a good number of people that seem to have a problem with that whether my queer self is political or not.
Giving full economic power to the state does not make you less fascist. It actually makes it much worse.
Just a reminder to the true leftists who think they can force through their better society by giving society more power over the individual without changing the culture in the first place.
For context: OP is on lemmy.world which blocks the tankie instances if I’m not mistaken. So they seem to refer to based leftist stuff I assume and isn’t a redfash.
The true marxist based left is not woke. It never was. There’s a reason that the western left turned liberal in the 50s and 60s and focused on reform. The CCP killed any thought that decentralized communes could be self-sufficient and centralization killed any concept of liberalism and a responsive command economy. If the majority can vote their way into resources, minorities suffer. With no opposition checking the ruling party, corruption sets in.
If you are referring to the American Democratic party, they are liberal and not left.
How much of a 14 year old do you have to be to take time out of your day to post this shit? Get a fucking life.
I thought it’s actually quite funny, besides doesn’t really take more than a minute or two? You can still have a life and post shitty memes :D
Actually I find Lemmy to be quite reasonable and pleasant to frequent. It’s indeed very leftist.
Same coin dude, how about be an independent thinker.
Garbo post. What is meant by “actually” leftist? Does Reddit make any claims to being leftist that it’s failing to back up? Why does your source of memes and internet titties need to align with your views in every way? Are you incapable of existing outside of an echo chamber?
Lemmy isnt leftist. The group calling itself leftist the most here is at the same time cheering on ultranationalist governments who are in the middle of genocides.
What do they mean by “too extreme”? Too left?
Yes, to them Lemmy is extremely left.
Reddit and other places on the internet are so far right when you say things like ‘I don’t think poor people should starve to death’ you’re looked at as a leftist.
They get shocked when you tell them capitalism is a terrible idea and their precious freedom of speech can get fucked when it’s used to protect literal Nazis.
IIRC, leftists were some of the first people on Reddit to start exploring Lemmy as an option. I found out about Lemmygrad a few years before the APIcalypse, but there wasn’t enough motive to compensate for the inconvenience before.
Anyway, gotta love a platform that hasn’t been drowned in the tsunami of sewage that is 21st century imperialist ideology (yet).
Yes, and thats not a good thing.
Why?
Communism, as practiced, is inherently fascist. Its essentially state slavery, because if you don’t work, you will be sent to labor camps where you will work. The workers do not consent.
Reddit is the most leftist platform I’ve used since Twitter (not X) lol
I think the only conservative spaces were the ones constantly getting banned or shunned… and DankMemes 😂
