    i suspect that most of them are reddit refugees since they push so hard for an echo chamber against viewpoints they don’t like

      Communists acknowledge the necessity of censoring harmful ideas and effectively communicate their rationale. Meanwhile, liberals criticize communists for such practices while simultaneously advocating for the suppression of dissenting views. This exposes their hypocritical stance on free speech and open dialogue.

      Not only that, but Reddit refugees too idealistic for Reddit, but without niche interests guiding them to a niche instance, plus a desire to not even be federated with Marxist instances.

    So I should be perfectly safe to mention any awful shit that allegedly leftist states did… right?

    No possibility this comment gets removed for saying leftist states can also fuck up, or implying any of them are only allegedly leftist.

                  “i feel like you’re being combative, you’re not engaging with what I’m saying. Makes me think you’re just here to be an asshole”

                  [Doesn’t engage the content, lobs insults, ‘he did it first’]

                  “I can see why you might have been banned”

                  “What do you mean I’m being totally reasonable?!”

                  There’s something about this format that just feels good, ya know? Like I’m invisible to criticism. I wonder why more people don’t use it

      Any Leftist that’s done any real organizing has likely worked with Anarchists. Those guys hate all states, and aren’t afraid to tell your classic Marxists about how some of those very left states did them realllllly bad. I don’t think any leftist whos operating in good faith has a problem with real critisizm. I think they have problems with state department propaganda lines that they have to hear and refute like every time they try to talk about any kind of Leftism.

      Especially since those lines are the some of the most detracting arguements there are (probably on purpose) so most times it does nothing but obfuscate the original point and move the topic of discussion away from that point.

        ‘This site’s mods and admins censor dry criticism.’

        ‘We the users handle criticism just fine.’

        That was not the subject.

          I’m confused. You asked if you would be fine to criticize the left here without getting banned and I replied to that comment answering, and now you’re telling me that wasn’t the subject? Why do you assume I was only talking about the users?

            Because the admins and several major mods have a history of censoring disagreement. Especially when it’s criticism of “those very left states.” Often just for saying those states are left… or aren’t.

    Blocked lemmy.world after this nonsense, I was already sick of how closely that instance mirrored reddit; including the witch hunting and moderation double-standards (banning piracy and allowing floods of corporate capitalist news propaganda spam is fine, but deleting misinformation and whitewashing of US history is moderator overreach). Had a few communities there I liked, but I can live without them.

        some tiny hyper-specific communities like c/DeepRockGalactic, as well as c/AssholeDesign (there’s a c/AssholeDesign on .ml, but it’s as dead as a doorknob); also enjoyed c/shitposting from time to time
