This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

Beehaw putting the L in liberal.
Reddit's backup wants to be an echochamber which controls all content..you don't say
I'll quote a hexbear comment:
but i wanna control everything
those evil red fash tankies are subverting me
😂
This ☝️. Seems like there's a lot of snowflake users on beehaw 😒.
There are plenty of ex-redditors on lemmy.world (myself included) who think the beehaw instance is way too restrictive and overly sensitive. Don't like the no downvote thing either. In fact, many ex-redditors have complained about that.
There's a lot of people who have left beehaw after the defederation, and I think it's only particular types of redditors who are attracted to the way that's being run. The 4 mods thought they could recreate default subreddits and moderate it all by themselves.
I think you're generalizing way too much, and giving too much credit to us redditors. Most of us ended up in instances by chance. I saw a lot of people recommend beehaw but I didn't like the atmosphere and randomly settled on lemmy.world instead.
I'm still figuring things out, but I'm happy where I landed. No plans on going back to reddit either. I also think that ex-redditors need to stop trying to make lemmy reddit. It doesn't need to be a clone.
They're inhaling lethal amounts of copium in the comments of the original beehaw thread.
"thE aBilItY fOr instANCES To dEFedErate Is THe PoinT ActUaLLy"
Yes, but that beats the whole essence of the "everyone's connected and can connect to anyone" fediverse selling point.
The solution is simple. You don't like a community? Block it. You don't like a user? Block him/her. Defederating is not the solution and beats the whole point of having a fediverse.
I'm currently juggling with 5 accounts because of this very reason. I had another reason to do so on reddit (multiple personalities, lol), but if you ask me, this reason is just stupid 😒.
The anti-authoritarian brigade tends to be the most "authoritarian" when push comes to shove
They argue to silence rather than discuss.

so they don’t want to be a fediverse instance ig
From the beehaw announcement:
an unfortunate reality we’ve also found is we just don’t have the tools or the time here to parse out all the good from all the bad.
In English: "We are political, after all, and we only like liberalism except for those pesky bits about tolerance and enlightenment values. Without support from an 'ex-CIA' directorate, we simply can't control the narrative if we federate with people who say what they want."
Lmao they did it. Good riddance.
Essentially, they don’t like their open registration policy and the increase in users… I have never seen such an argument before but lol.
Wait, didn't they constantly spam reddit and lemmy "come to Beehaw"? And now they are picky?
Leave Reddit!
…
Not like that!
They probably took the Reddit population at face value, not realising that so much of Reddit is either curated or controlled so that only reactionary views come through.
When people have the freedom to say what they want without the five eyes fiddling with the algorithm, leading brigades, or outright deleting progressive and revolutionary-leaning content, the discourse and culture look very different.
I'm not surprised that ordinary people won't generally fall for the beehaw sales pitch. But they clearly don't expect to ever see contradictory views.
Not beating the zionist allegations with that move
Beehaw putting the L in liberal 🤣
