Come one come all to the Lemmy-verse! It's nice and cozy here, we do have some "bad parts of town" but you can do an instance block and not deal with them lol

For your memes we have !memes@lemmy.world if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like !science@mander.xyz and !biology@mander.xyz and for a meme science combo theres always the fantastic !science_memes@mander.xyz

Wait, what's wrong with Hexbear? I'm new to Lemmy and read the code of conduct and TOS of Hexbear and it just seems like they're leftist? I was thinking about registering there 😅

Lemmy can be a bit of a culture shock when you come from Reddit. If someone calls you a libtard on Reddit, it's because they think you're a leftist. If someone calls you one on Lemmy, it's because they think you're too far to the right of them.

[–] Khlo@lemm.ee 5 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Sooo are the users over at Hexbear considered libtards over here on Lemmy?

[–] bishbosh@lemm.ee 14 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Nooo the users on Hexbear are the ones calling others libs for being too far to the right. Though I don't know how prolific libtard is, just because of the ableism.

No, the opposite; They’re so far left that leftists aren’t left enough.

When r/chapotraphouse got banned they moved to what is now hexbear. If you didn't like r/cth you won't like hexbear, and lots of folks don't like r/cth.

[–] Khlo@lemm.ee 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

So here's the thing... im so new i have no idea what r/chapotraphouse is

Fair and valid, and I envy your brain. They were a shitposter sub on reddit, sorta based on the dirtbag podcast of the same name. They were criticized for brigading and dog piling folks they disagreed with, and largely have a mentality of treating what they see as bad faith with mockery.

All that being said, if you think memes about China taking over the US is funny, they are a fun, active community. Though using it as your primary instance can be a big of a difficulty because lots of other instances block them.

Really I've found lemm.ee to be a good home, and you can still see all the posts there and see if it clicks for you.

Former tankie turned anarchist. Talk to the Tankies. Learn from them, they have points.

Engles is full of shit ("On Authority" is little more than a business owner complaining that people don't like authority, and using natural laws of the universe to justify its existence by diluting the definition of authority such that any type of power over anything is considered authority. While this is not technically incorrect, it is a gross oversimplification of what authority means) and is the primary basis for how authority is justified on the Auth left.

But when they tell you to read something, go read it. They shitpost hard, don't eat the onion, don't feed the trolls, but engage in genuine conversation *recognizing that you will never agree and using it as a learning experience *

edit: spelling error

I like to think of tankies as Anakin Skywalker in that scene on the Grass with Padme. Anakin is gently explaining his hopes for the future, the wonderful world he wants to build, but when asked if people disagree he says "then they'll be made to", revealing his authoritarian streak. To anakin, like the tankie, seems obvious that an ultimate authority is necessary to shepherd the people into their eventual utopia, by force if necessary.

Many recognize the goal of a far left state is to whither and die, but the tankie forgets that power begets power. A dictatorship of the prolietariat is all well and good until a well spoken wolf in the finest wool takes the reigns. Power does not corrupt; rather i believe it is corruption that seeks power, and like dragons those corrupted by power will not give it up, and will do anything for more.

This right here (I'm stealing it lmao)

I personally would love to see the fall of capitalism in my lifetime and the rise of "The Star Trek Economics" which IMO is a fantastic example of a realistic equal capitalism-free future. Not so perfect as to fall into the "Utopia that's really a Dystopia in disguise" problem, but still a future worth striving for.

All current or past examples of Communism generally involve the sacrifice of personal rights and freedoms to some degree.

ETA: As far as engaging with them goes, I did for a while, multiple times in fact. Once you go beyond their surface level talking points the Authoritarian in them comes out and they will not criticize China/Russia in any shape or form no matter how deserving.

It's really only been the last few months that I've actually been proactive against them because now I see the damage they do to the Lemmy-verse with their propaganda and misinformation.

I looked around some NSFW communities, a number of them seem to have no posts at all. Is that normal, to have communities with no posts? Or is there a filter of some sort so I'm not seeing them? I do have "see NSFW" enabled, mind, so it's not that.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

A lot were created during rexit 1, but just never filled with any content

NSFW stuff was the weakest "movers" from Reddit IMO

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 8 hours ago

We don't really has the talent like the reddit of yore..
