The official story is that it's accidental, that's what I know, though the devs are MLs and lots of MLs like me use Lemmy.ml.

Chomsky famously hated Marxists and never bothered to study Marxism enough to understand what dialectical materialism means. For a scholar who made a career of shitting on socialism in real life, this alone should tell you how unserious he is.

This is a smaller community with seemingly slightly more accountability, or at a minimum, decency and respect for our fellow humans and internet citizens. The majority of the animals on reddit because behave like 10 year olds in a COD lobby - hiding behind internet anonymity to act like complete assholes, and be as rude and disrespectful as they possibly can, because they believe there will be no consequences.

Microsoft locked down their Discord server because people were being griefers with constantly using Microslop. I got called a shill and on Microsoft's payroll because I didn't defend/celebrate that behavior. I try to not bad-mouth a company on their "premises" and if I do and then get kicked out then I shouldn't blame the company for doing so. I don't have a right to be a jerk to "them" on their property, even if it's not to an actual person.

Eh-hem.

NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF.

Yea, I mostly said it as that was the context of the convo from, "go back to reddit". Really, "telling someone off" politely and with info is hardly telling them off at all.

Trying to "change minds" of bigots is a waste of energy. It's best spent on constructive things on the left.

Rightwingers and their nazi friends can fuck off this platform.

Idk man, Lemmy is defacto a pretty lefty space, so I think it's just a lazy way to tell someone to fuck off. I wouldn't worry about it too much, because while I find it unproductive it's just words on the Internet at the end of the day.

But if you feel there needs to be a corner of Lemmy where that's not tolerated you can always try building it yourself. I honestly think that could be a good thing.

yeah... this is why we can't have nice things.

Reddit has produced a certain culture, many spam bots, toxic fights, that is disliked by many on lemmy.

So telling them to "go back to reddit" means he is identified as part of that system that made reddit bad?

This ignores the part that reddit the company created the environment that users have to navigate in.

I’m from California don’t agree with any of this lol liberals are sick right now. It’s bad but honestly you’re crying wolf right now and it shows. I don’t like the guy either but at this point we are losing the crowd cause we are stuck in bubbles like this. They won the election we need to figure why. We are literally avoiding a mass of people ideas that conflict. With that strategy Dems will never win again.

I've been accused of being right wing on Reddit, but also on Lemmy, by those carrying water for Blue MAGA otherwise known as the Democratic Party. The only reason I never "went back to Reddit" Is because that's not an option for me. I know the term "gaslighting" is overused these days, but that's what it is when someone who champions the Dems tells a twinkle-toed pinko commie like me that I'm a "right-wing troll".

You mean like hand-waving someone's opinion away by calling them a Nazi?
