Lemmy
Problem is that it is aimed at socially awkward and inept individuals who do not like to engage with one another. I try to start conversations but the only reactions I get are from pissy communists
So Reddit except socially inept pissy communists instead of socially inept pissy liberals.
Basically xd
I wish there was a <3 option instead of just upvote
i mean, the developers are communists (hence why they went with the .ml TLD on their instance), so i think it is a trend that predates any significant reddit migration. also federated social media has kind of always been full of communists and anarchists. i reckon it kind of goes hand in hand with the distrust of the big corpo sites.
anyways, go touch grass, please.
I'll take communists over nazis any day
I dont want either. Communists always act like they have the high ground but they are just infantile economic idealists with no real plan of action, while ignoring past communist systems or proclaiming "no, that wasn't true communism".
