      lemmy is written by Marxist Leninist’s. Before the blackout on reddit, redditors complained about the tankies on lemmy. The site is lemmy.ml because the ml stands for Marxist Leninist.

      This comment is the equivalent of going over to the black mold mansion that was built with black mold framing and black mold windows by black molds hands, and being like “How did the black mold invade this house and take it over”

              Run out of town as the migration continues? Do you… not understand how the fediverse works? Do you not understand you’re posting on lemmy.ml right now, and lemmy.ml will never defederate from my instance, lemmygrad.ml?

              You’re not on Reddit anymore, and I would be happy to give you the crash course.

                And yet you will be overrun until lemmy.ml stops accepting new sign-ons, and the new users are all going to continue calling out and outvoting you and yours. You’ll be downvoted to oblivion. Because we’re not going anywhere, and there’s more of us than there are of you.

                  Oh no, not the downvotes. Anything but the downvotes.

                  Are you 12? Do your parents know you’re online without supervision? Maybe they should explain this federation thing to you.

          It’s not like these old users were not fighting to protect your freedom of speech, by creating an open-source federated social network or anything. Yet you use that same freedom of speech they enabled for you against them on the same platform they created. Everyone here will fight for your right to do so, btw, but I just wanted to point that out.

          That is the country that owns the TLD. Do you think the people who run this server, and wrote the code for it are from Mali?

            I mean… to anyone who doesn’t know or is interested in who is hosting this instance .ml is just some top level domain. Just like .com or .de or .io this TLD, as you said happens to be the one of Mali. Yet you ask that question as if it’s so obvious and react as if people are stupid when they don’t reply the “correct” answer…

            Kinda toxic ngl.

                Dude, 99% of people who joined Lemmy cannot define Marxism-Leninism in a reliable manner… Most had no idea who the devs are, most have no clue how federation works, they just joined the first server they came in contact with…

                If you think the people joining here all believe in Marxism-Leninism or are aware that the admins of the server are Marxist-Leninist, you are living in a fantasy world.

                  No they’re just defending the invasion and forced annexation of a country, brushing aside mountains of documented war crimes and Um AksHuAllying /both sidesing a war of aggression by an authoritarian dictator that rigs his own elections and came to power by killing his own people (while talking about wanting to annex Ukraine at the time) for… reasons. You can jump to defend the tankie fucks if you want but I’m not, I’ll continue to call them what they are.

                  Lemmy.ml has been clear from the start that ML stands for Marxist Leninist. You’re the one pretending ignorance for some reason.

                    What is your problem? I was simply trying to explain to you that most newbies who are now flocking to instances such as lemmy.ml don’t give a shit about Marxism-Leninism and they don’t know that the domain “.ml” stands for Marxism-Leninism… Why are you trying to accuse me of “defending tankies”? What makes you even come to this conclusion? It’s completely absurd…

                    Lemmy.ml has been clear from the start that ML stands for Marxist Leninist.

                    Yeah I am familiar with Lemmy for about 2 years now, I’m completely aware that there are a lot of cringy tankies around here… What I’m trying to tell you is that most people who have joined in the past couple of days are largely not tankies…

                    You can argue that people who are signing up to lemmy.ml would probably find that one out very soon if they just do basic research, and you would be right. But again, most people won’t do that, they will simply click on join and ignore anything that is written there.

                    I am entirely unsure how not being aware of what .ml stands for is “defending the invasion”.

                    I for one didn’t know this, i also didn’t join lemmy.ml I joined feddit.de

                    I have a strong connection to Ukraine now.

                I’m not saying it’s not what you say it is. I’m saying the way you said is is toxic. It’s never gonna be clear to new people. I also have a .me domain and pretend it’s from lotrs Middle-Earth. But I don’t imply its obvious and react annoyed when people get it wrong.

        What I don’t get is why Marxist leninists seem to support Russia in this conflict, just because it was ruled by a Marxist Leninist party over 30 years ago. The current Russian regime is just as capitalist as any western government. The only plausible reason to me is that they still see capitalism as synonymous with “the west” even though it is a global system which rules all large nations today.

          “Support” is a big word. Most would see it as an inter-capitalist war. One staged and initiated by American imperialism in the region. The end result of which will be the weakening of American imperialism and the emergence of a multipolar geopolitical reality, in which the conditions for socialism are more amenable.

          But really this “seem to support Russia” is simply an inability to deal in nuance, much like how libs think criticising Joe Biden equals “support” for Donald Trump.
