  • Yeah I’ve been here, and on Hexbear the same amount of time, and they’re both kinda similar. There is def more people who aren’t explicitly ML on Hexbear, but most are. They all seem to love Cuba, and I’ve never seen anyone shit on AES nations. Sure they’re not as hardline, but it’s not as bad as people are making it out here imo. Though I do totally understand the worry! Just don’t entirely agree with the assessment on Hexbear. I’m ML, just to be clear.







  • Just download Google Translate on your phone, press the camera icon, and point it at whatever you want translated, and it’ll translate the text in real-time (you can also take a photo if you don’t want to try to hold your hand still). Now I’m not the biggest fan of Google, but that feature is VERY helpful when in countries where you don’t speak the language, and for things like this.

  • I quite like Nordmann fir also known as the Danish Christmas Tree. Good memories of being a kid, and putting decorations on them. Never a religious thing for us, just a nice little thing where me, my mom, and my grandma would do something together. With everything going on in the world I do cherish those childhood memories. I miss it to be honest, and hadn’t thought about that for a while, so thanks for reminding me comrade, I actually needed that.

    Yeah the good old joke about the west being so good at propaganda that “there is no propaganda in the west” is very applicable here. I know quite a few good people, who are just not media literate enough to understand when they are being duped. And to be fair, the propaganda is constant, and from birth. To be anti-NATO in a NATO country is not something you just stumble into being, you actually have to read, and actively understand how the world works.

    Not trying to excuse anyone here by the way, it just makes me sad when people I otherwise have liked fall to propaganda. I hope they learn, they are still young, and god knows I had some stupid beliefs when I was 18-20 years old.

    Edit: Pronouns, sorry


  • Had a Reddit account for like 10 years, but have been starting to grow tired of how incredibly liberal Reddit was, so after the whole third-party app thing I decided to take the plunge on Lemmy. Nice to see that it seems like there is some more lefty influence here. I’m from Denmark, and have always been left-adjacent, but thought for a long time that SocDem was good enough (how very Scandinavian of me). Over the last 3-4 years I have changed this opinion though, after being exposed to more leftist theory, and have become a ML. Hope this place works out well! I have to admit that I’m a bit skeptical of this whole “fediverse” thing after trying Mastodon, and not really liking it. But I will try!
