      Because Lemmy.ml is federated with anti-leftist instances like Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ca. Lemmy.ml has a weird mix of very pro-Leftist posters and very anti-Leftist commenters because of this, people tend to post more on their own instances but often times scroll by all for commenting.

        Why are liberals on a decentralized platform anyway? Surely the free market has provided adequate platforms for everyone’s needs

          The Liberals on instances like Lemmy.world are too ideological to stay on Reddit, but have read no Marxist Theory and have not correctly identified the reasons why Reddit went wrong, and was always destined to go wrong. If they were Leftists, they would join an instance that doesn’t defederate with Leftists as policy.

          That’s why Lemmy.world is just Reddit 2.

          Reddit took away their precious apps, that’s the only reason. They have no problems at all with its western-supremacist political aims.

          Lemmy.world directly opposes Marxism, and Marxist instances. That’s an anti-Leftist stance. Liberalism is the status quo, which is Right-Wing.

            I don’t agree. Lemmy.world opposed (very)exaggerated extremism of all the kind so far. One of the first post i’ve read on lemmy one year ago was about the defederation of some nazi instances. Nothing is perfect but calling lemmy.world anti-Leftist is a bit of a stretch.

              Lemmy.world is explicitly against Marxism, they defederated from Lemmygrad and Hexbear because of this, and sabre-rattle about defederating from even Lemmy.ml. This is anti-Marxism, plain and simple.

              Nothing is perfect but calling lemmy.world anti-Leftist is a bit of a stretch.

              Not if you have rigorous definitions of terms. You can’t call yourself a leftist and be anti-communist. The desire to abolish capitalism and move to a communist society is the defining trait of the left. The only distinction between tendencies is the method they wish to pursue that goal.

              The problem with debates like this is that the only people participating in it who actually know what they’re talking about are the communists.

      The western-supremacists literally can’t keep their mouths shut, when given a chance to denounce any country they consider “barbarian”.

        If .worlders could see hexbear and lemmygrad, they’d have an aneurysm. But then some of them would recover and look further into it and realize the commies are right. But that is of course why they’re not allowed to see it, as you said.
