I came here a few weeks ago after many years of reddit. Altogether I find discussions I enjoy, however, the posts and comments noticeably lean, well, tankie (I didn’t know that term before I came here). It’s not that I am looking for an echo chamber, but I also don’t want to spend my time reading propaganda. I’m really curious about a lot of things outside politics, as well as the opinions and arguments of reasonable people across the political spectrum, but I don’t want to listen to the boring canned lies of fascists and tankies. I realized that people celebrating communist dictators trigger me, and this is something I didn’t have to deal with before I started reading lemmy, I didn’t even know this type existed.
I also notice that accounts created just a few hours in advance come from other instances to brigade political posts. Because of how lemmy works, I can block individual users or communities, but not individual instances. Is there an instance that could be a “safe space” from this kind of brigading and tankie spam? Or a way to use the internet to read interesting things now that blogs died and then Reddit became whatever it became?
Except that you are missing the point. Most people in the real world aren’t taking it as seriously as you and the rest of Lemmy. We don’t care. Your revolution won’t happen. Just accept it. My life doesn’t revolve and being mad and political like yours does. Go outside, dude.
I don’t really have a revolution in mind. I just want my constitution upheld. I want laws to be enforced, just those basic fundamental fabrics of society. I think you got me mistake with the communists. I’m just rooting for them in case they do a French Revolution with the former middle class. I’d love to see some house cleaning but I’m not talking about a revolution. I’m just saying if you think taking school lunches and giving them to private jet owners is an okay use of government resources, you’re probably a hypocrite with all the live laugh love shit.
