All of it should be public property.

Again, difficult on a FOSS platform.

Hard to have enshittification in a FOSS platform.

Here are a few examples of the mods denouncing Socialism and Marxism, and they perma-banned me from political memes for going against the liberal narrative for “misinformation and posturing” despite leaving up the Zionist lie that the Palestinian genocide is a 1000 year conflict. This is also when one of the moderators claimed they weren’t censoring anyone and were incredibly fair on a comment chain calling out their censorship, and refused to elaborate. They would not even tell me how I could edit my comments to comply with their rules.

They defederated from Hexbear “as a last resort-” before ever federating with Hexbear.

In the Lemmygrad defederation thread, there’s unsupported claims of hate speech and calls to violence, which we have to fill in the blanks - the mods are anti-Marxist and anti-revolution, so any Marxist instance is going to fail that test.

The Hexbear defederation thread is somehow worse when they list why instead of leaving it to the imagination. Read some of the top comments, it’s clear that it was anti-Socialist in motive. Real spooky scary zingers listed as evidence in the post like “The West’s role in the world, through organizations such as NATO, the IMF, and the World Bank - among many others - are deeply harmful to the billions of people living both inside and outside of their imperial core.” This statement is 100% obvious to anyone not stanning the US Empire.

Another example listed is “These organizations constitute the modern imperial order, with the United States at its heart - we are not fooled by the term “rules-based international order.” It is in the Left’s interest for these organizations to be demolished. When and how this will occur, and what precisely comes after, is the cause of great debate and discussion on this site, but it is necessary for a better world.” Yet again, they are defederated for being Marxists, and therefore being revolutionary. This is just because they are authentically Marxist, not because posters were mean.

The mods of Lemmy.world are Liberals. Not just any liberals, but “true believers.” Marxism is dangerous to them and so they shut it out, they spelled it out plainly.

Even your leftist meme in Political Memes is getting you called a “tankie.”

Yep, Hexbear is generally more diverse, even if it still leans towards the general Lemmy demographics. The presence of communities like Traa and strong pro-LGBTQ moderation helps that greatly, same with anti-zionism.

It’s not really elitist, Lemmy was founded as an alternative to Reddit, but Lemmy.world is a repitition of it, not to mention the anti-Marxist pro-zionist moderators. It’s understandable that people leaving Reddit don’t want the same thing as Reddit.

Cooking and working out. Proper nutrition and taking care of your body make a huge difference, along with reading.

Lenin didn’t break away from Marxism, he returned the broader Communist international to Marxism from opportunism and revisionism, and then applied Marxist analysis to his present conditions.

I don’t have experience with those, but I’d go with non-streaming media, let her pick albums and listen to them after downloading, helps my media consumption.

Oof, misread that, thanks

I didn’t say anything about communists

What did you mean by the word “tankie?” Liberals?

Either way, it’s about finding a good instance and sticking with it, not just going with the largest and most boring instance.

Edit: misread “trekkie” as “tankie!” My bad lol

Be the change you seek! Most anime communities will let you post episode discussions, and if your instance is active enough you’ll draw viewers sorting by new.

I mean, you are on a site built and maintained by Communists along Communist principles, there are going to be Communists.

Reddit already exists for liberals.

The US Empire is the world’s largest Imperialist Power and the greatest exploiter of the Global South, it’s the source of most problems for sure.

Makes sense. I don’t think they would intentionally provoke ROK, even if half a century of talks haven’t resulted in reunification, the Korean People very much see the other side as Korean People. It’s a deeply tragic situation.

Then I stick with my United States answer, the US Empire is holding the world back and needs to be overthrown, ideally from within.

They are demolishing bridges on their side of the DMZ and cutting reunification committees. Their official stance is, again, 2 states, no longer 1 state, 2 systems. How are they escalating? Looks more like they are hunkering down.

In the last year the DPRK has announced that they have abandoned reunification, their previous “one state, 2 systems” stance was replaced with a “2 state” system. The DPRK no longer seeks reunification, which is sad. I think the “one state, two systems” solution would have been a great move forward for a fractured people.

It’s more than that, it’s the Petro-Dollar, where the US exploits the Global South with predatory IMF loans, aka Imperialism.

As in, the people, or the state? Like, do the people remain, but the government is abolished?

If people, none, I’m not a genocidal monster.

If the state, the United States of America, the Global South would be far better off without the genocidal US Empire. Would also free Palestine without US backing of Israel.
