I am surprised how many liberals are on Lemmy that was billed to me as a traditionally more leftist space. Then again they were chased of reddit and have to make a shit bed somewhere.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, anti-communism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

MODERATORS
Most .world users are just reddit users that got banned. And reddit has always been liberal to far-right.
They are too fucking ignorant to see social media was intentionally fragmented on Reddit and Twitter to prevent actual change. They weakened and diluted all organizational power by pushing towards Lemmy and Bluesky and have created toxic environments in both
There's a bit of comedy in this, the reactionaries love bullying and pushing liberals away from those platforms. Then they get bored of them because there's no one to "own" anymore. So they migrate to the platforms they went to. Just feel that most lemmy instances will shit stop a reactionary out of existence for a hint of being a CHUD.
300 years of liberals stabbing leftists in the back and literally training fascist kill squads to murder us yet they are shocked when we don't consider them allies.
Are "leftist memes" in question the Stalin quotes or did I miss something?
Yup. Just like the famous quote in the meme.
Yeah, this comm is just a tankie circlejerk and whenever a NoTrueLeftist™ shows up and calls them tankies they go "Wahhh, shitlib!!!"

Is there an option in mod tools to remove your community from the karma sorting algorithm and instead make it subscriber only? Because I’d wager you’re complaining about outsiders, considering the number of subscribers.
Not complaining, just pointing out. This isnt something that only happens here, it's every leftist space
Your memes about how there's no difference between Obama and Trump shows up on the front page of every instance. Maybe don't publicly advertise your memes if you don't want a public response.

Significantly less so on .ml, but otherwise yeah
Criticism and exclusion have conflicting goals. Criticism is about inciting critical thinking and reflection, hopefully change. It allows for more engagement across viewpoints and builds cohesion. Exclusion reinforces bubbles and pushes communities to senescence.
Not really. Any open space is just going to be dominated by the majority viewpoint simply through numbers and if you don't have walled gardens it becomes impossible to discuss contrary perspectives. Most of the "critiques" that liberals bring to the table are just repeating the same talking points over and over, accusing us of being Russian bots or secret Trump supporters or whatever, and repeating the same pointless arguments over and over again.
Even if two people try to have an intelligent conversation in good faith, the fact that people are waiting to jump down someone's throat or take things out of context and go like, "Aha! This proves you're secretly an accelerationist!" colors the conversation and keeps everyone on guard. It's the same concept of if you let conservatives/reactionaries into a space, their perspective adds nothing to the conversation and makes it harder to discuss anything intelligently.
This is the whole concept of the fediverse, tbh. To allow for "walled gardens" that can still have opportunities to interact with each other. My ideas are far more challenged in spaces where I share certain basic assumptions than they would be by anything liberals or reactionaries have to say.

Ahh the follow up to yesterday’s post!
Man...some people in these comments need to log off. Just step away, homies. Let's get that autonomous nervous system regulated so we're not having activation over disagreeable texts on the screen 🥀🥀🥀
Imagine continuing to promote infighting while a fascist dictatorship is forming
Infighting suggests liberals are on the same side as leftists. Liberlas have enabed that fascism you claim to be fighting

When leftists say abolish the police, liberals side with the police.
When leftists say abolish borders, liberals side with border enforcement.
When leftists seek to dismantle fascist systems of oppression, liberals side with the fascists.
Leftists calling out the hypocrisy of liberals is not infighting, it is an open attack against an enemy that cosplasys as left while actively aiding and abetting fascist ideolgies with "both sides have valid points" bullshit.
Liberals want to go back to Obama's America, but refuae to reconcile with the fact that Obama's America still dropped bombs on schools and used violent force to deport immigrants and attack marginalized communities.
Liberals only want business as usual, with the violence kept out of their line of sight. Leftists are actively seeking to dismantle systems of oppression, and replace them with systems that take action to reduce harm. They are not the same.
Liberal is not left. It's been conflated to mean that in the minds of reactionaries so anyone further left than they are appear as the enemy.
Liberals are not on the "in" with leftists. It's just normal fighting. And I hope one day the libs will lose.
