Unless you were on explicitly communist subs, reddit was extremely hostile to communists. You could definitely get banned from some subs just by association.
Fortunately, it’s going away as more and more moderates and non-political people come in from reddit. A tiny tiny majority of people are actual communists even though it looked like the exact opposite in here for a while.
There are a lot of commies here. I don’t particularly like them but that is there right and lemmy is not and should not be pro-censorship. If somepeople don’t like them they should find an instance that suits you better.
There are alot of people who are pissed off about the current system here. Makes sense, since these would be the people who are willing to push through the growing pains of the fediverse to remove themselves from corporate centralized sites.
For example, I’m not necessarily a communist, since I am not convinced it’s the best alternative to our version of capitalism in America; but I will agree with the communists when they say we need to replace our broken system with something better.
I agree too. The problem is many communist are actually Russian propagandists. There, they “really” think communism is a viable option. But openly discussing this stuff without bias? That would be awesome. Also probably not happening
Man anti-communism propaganda is so ingrained yet they still don’t know how real communism work (not saying is good though).
Same as using facism for anything red-wing.
You’re right. For a while Russia might have been considered a “regular” capitalist society following the cold war, at least by popular opinion in the west, but they’ve driven further and further into kleptocracy and facism. Of course, facism can be wrapped in a capitalist or communist flag. One may be a better breeding ground for facism but it can root anywhere.
True. But there’s this kind of nostalgia for communism and what started the revanchism of the late '90s in KGB officials and Putin that stopped Russia’s evolution in a free country. Kind of sad, they have now the worst of both worlds
Russia hasn’t been communist in even name since it was part of the USSR. The only people who really consider them communist are liberals who don’t understand the difference between the USSR and the Russian Federation.
I am not the Official Spokesman of Communism, but most communities I have seen and participate in aren’t pro-modern Russia. We might be against things like banning anything with “russian” in the name, but that doesn’t mean we see them as the second coming of the USSR. The Russian Federation is still an imperialist capitalist nation as much as any of the others.
You have the patsocs and stuff that might be more on board with Russia, but we don’t really claim them.
Eh, communists on Lemmy are the “Russia and China are great” kind of communists.
What they call communism I call crony capitalism with a sprinkle of feudalism, aka the only ones that actually count are the very rich extremely well connected people appointed by the supreme ruler, everyone else counts for less than zero.
TBH America seems less of a capitalist hellscape than either of those countries, which is saying something…
I’ve been on Lemmy.world for about a month now and have hardly seen any porn at all. Not sure what these people are looking for that is getting them so much porn.
It’s pretty rude to come into a new community and the first thing you do is complain.
Not everyone is as obsessed with avoiding communist thoughts as much as US-Americans. Deal with it.
As for NSFW: just switch it off.
Communists are fine, tankies on the other hand are not. It’s not fun watching tankies defend the USSR as someone who had a large part of their family deported to their death camps.

Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
It’s not communism, it’s the tankies. I’m as close to a militant centrist as you can get, so extremes piss me off.
As a way far left leftie, fucking tankies piss me off.
We like to be called cummies
Do those taste different depending on the manufacturer’s diet?
No, i think youre confusing us by the Fapcists, theyre the nationalist ones
Cummunism
Yes cummrade!
Let us all Cum together, for the power of the Prostatariat!
i’d say I am the communism, but I’m one of the Reddit migrants.
That’s rich, especially since Communism and Porn are EXTREMELY common on Reddit.

Porn was everywhere though, yeah.
I never saw porn on Reddit though I suppose it was there.
But “communism”? Wtf are you talking about? Like actual 1950s style red scare stuff? Lol
Nah, Americans just mistake subsidized healthcare and prohibitive gun laws as actual communism
Lol, I had to ask.
What subs are they subscribed to? I see none of those 2 on lemmy.ml (unless I would specifically search for it)
The reason why you aren’t seeing any porn on lemmy.ml is probably that it’s defederated from lemmynsfw where most of it is.
That you’re not seeing anything related to communism from a Marxist-Leninist instance is something of a puzzler, though 🤔

Ironically, Russia doesn’t even follow communist ideals. They are communist in name only.

Like 90% sure that’s why I switched
Well yeah if your going to nsfwlemmy.com what do you expect‽
🎵 If you’re going to lemmynsfw make sure to wear some butt plugs in your hair 🎵
I’ve seen memes about this, but I’ve never seen any porn or communism in my feeds, can someone explain this to me? Thanks
Do you have NSFW filters active?
Strangely I haven’t seen a single NSFW content since I moved here. The current Reddit on the other hand…
Communist America sounds like an upgrade to me. Just don’t go Trotsky or we’ll have ww3 on our hands.

Its pretty rude to be a shitheel, too.
Yet here you are, embracing it fully.
True lol. I’m not the one complaining, though, I’m just the guy who thought the combination was hilarious and got an idea for a meme 😁
