Like, I’m not asking for people to like our instance and become communists overnight or even stop calling us tankies, but these are two of the few I’ve seen that will admit they like at least certain aspects and that we aren’t soulless bots or propagandists out to eat your children or something like that. Covered their names out of respect for not being deranged like so many other people on lemmy.ml and especially .world
(Also glad someone appreciates our nazi dunking)
Just like a communist party, you have to be careful whom you let in. It’s better to grow more slowly and organically with trustworthy people.
I tend to find smaller communities to share higher quality content and be more caring and helpful (excluding right-wing/hateful echo chambers). Lemmy before the Reddit exodus reminded me of the experience I had on small, indie game forums.
