Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

It’s lemmygrad, we’re the spectre. I’d bet at least half of the other instances out there block us, there’s only like 300 dedicated users on this instance, and they still can’t stop complaining about lemmygrad/tankies

Aren't the lemmy.ml admins MLs too though? Or was that proven false? Either way, I don't tend to see commie stuff on that instance bc it's bigger and doesn't cater to us tankies like this one does.

Pretty sure they are, but don't mean for the instance to be.

I thought they were, at least most conversations I personally see on lemmy.ml are at least pretty cool it

I haven't heard of you yet, what are they complaining about? I've only heard complaints about Nazis and fascists

It's an instance for Communists, specifically Communists who support AES (actually existing socialism). In short, we think that the USSR and PRC (among others), while not perfect, were legitimate attempts at building Socialism and better than Capitalism as it exists in the West.

Other people don't like that because, to them, Stalin was just Red Hitler and Xi Jinping is literally committing a genocide right now. Neither are true.
