In the lead developer’s GitHub, he sympathizes with Marxism including those that committed atrocities.. He apparently censors lemmy.ml with this in mind. Since it is open source though, I can trust that other instances might be better maintained. There is no way I’ll use any personal information in my signup because this all probably is going to China.
China is sophisticated enough that it can vacuum up all the information it wants about without any involvement of a Lemmy.lm admin.
That's the beauty of the fediverse. Don't like the server? Go somewhere else.
Leninist. Marxist Leninist is largely an oxymoron as Lenin just sort of ignored a lot of core things Marx discussed. Specifically going against many of them. There are many different Marxism derived ideologies that aren't ML and don't sympathize or apologize for the atrocities of ML or capitalist regimes. Please don't lump them all together.
As far as Leninist go. I agree with you 💯% though.
When it comes to physics Einstein has yet to be proven wrong for just about anything. When it came to politics and human nature. Einstein was not known to be any great judge. And even then. That's feinting praise. Einstein knew how to throw shade.
Oh the ml in lemmy.ml is Marxist lenonist. That makes a lot of sense actually
You literally just made that up. I'm pretty sure they said at some point that they chose this simply cause its free.
I was wrong, and it was a guess using context clues from the post I was replying too.
I didn't "make it up", I was just incorrect.
I just get kinda pissed off at comments like that because I've been using lemmy for like 3 years now and they've never done something wrong but now there are some people that just say stuff about them that's not even true. Your comment wasn't the first like that after all.
