Could you explain this? Are certain instances associated with certain kind of people? I thought lemmy.ml was a very generic instance. What do people generally associate the main biggest instances with?
It’s a genuine question, I haven’t been on lemmy very long.
What made me leave that annoyed comment is not them being wrong, denying (or supporting) atrocities committed by regimes that proclaim themselves to be communist or to fight western imperialism. That after you “win” against imperialism with Imperialism what do you have? Imperialism!
No, my personal peeve is that they are mostly westerners who have no idea how good they have it, what it’s like to live in one of the autocracies they love so much
From what I read in comments, lemmy.ml is often associated with reality-detached far-left/socialism/fascist-socialism. People often call people from there “tankies”.
Personally, I don’t like how it’s often voiced prejudice instead of taking the comment at hand. Still, subjectively, I also saw several instances of far fetched and non-sensical stuff from lemmy.ml and maybe another instance as well, moreso than from other instance’s accounts.
