I'm here from Reddit. They banned me for absolutely no reason. That's frustrating. How works Lemmy ?

Landlords, billionaires, AI, Reddit = Bad
Beans, Linux = good
Marxist-Leninists = it's complicated
did someone say beans
BEANS
the maple kind
What's the meme with beans?
They're delicious
Fair enough
They are full of protein.
It’s not that complicated, Half of the population are Marxist Leninist, and the other half thinks MLs are subhuman and being shot to death is a fate too kind.
I finally get why it's lemmy.ml
I never put that together until now... Bit embarrassing really.
So, why it's... oh
Half the population claims to be MLs, are quarantined by the other half of Lemmy, and the ones who talk the most sure do love simping for the least ML states in existence just because they grow from the corpse of the Soviets.
Lmao all it took was one person mentioning MLs and the flame wars kick off. I’m sorry I even commented in the first place.
It's actually hilarious that your alt would pretend to be a victim with that comment.
I don’t have an alt and I’m not sure what you’re talking about?
They also run up- and down-vote brigades. And use sock-puppets and alts from unblocked instances to spread their nonsense around. They remind me so much of how r/thedonald used to behave before it was banned.
About the Marxist-Leninist -situation...
On certain instances here, there are tons of "tankies", which are a group composed of Chinese and Russian propagandists, their bots, and useful idiots, who do not realize they are hanging in the metaphorical nazi bar, and are falling for their rhetoric. Tankies are essentially authoritarians larping as leftists, and have nothing to do with communism, for example. They will tell you stuff, like Ukraine belongs to Russia (or has nazis, and needs liberating), and that China does not genocide its minorities (and that tibetans deserve to be "civilized"). Anything criticizing Russian and Chinese authoritarian regimes, is evil propaganda (by CIA, the USA, or "the West" in general) to them.
They do not argue in good faith, and giving them attention just allows them to get more visibility. They will try to bait people to write longer and longer rants, by multi-point arguments, that need tons of reading to disprove, or by insulting you/your country/etc., to derail the discussion, and to make you enraged and write those rants. The point is to exhaust you, to spread confusing info, and to make you seem bad, so that people will not believe you, but are more likely to believe them.
(For the context, I am from Finland, and my aim at fighting the propaganda is, to try to prevent people from supporting Russian imperialism, so that Russia might be able to change at some point, and stop attacking and invading their neighboring countries (so a personal motive), and to criticize Chinese government for committing attrocities. I feel sorry for all the Russian and Chinese people, who have to live under the oppression. Unless they support invading their neighbors and genociding, that is straight up evil.
I am also against the terrible things the USA is doing, mind you. Their propaganda machines just are not working very well here, since almost every lemmy user, seems to be against the USA government already.)
