So far every website owner I've had issues with has been a billionaire capitalist, I'll give the communists a shot.

This meme, again?!
I do not understand the argument. Are you implying that being communist automatically pins you in the pro CCP?
My country is socialist. My family is socialist. All my friends are socialists. I love socialism.
By following the same logic, does that mean that I am considered a Nazis lover?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No but many of the lemmy.ml founders embrace communism without evening considering how many people have been killed under that banner.

When I first heard about the communism I assumed that the were just far left socialists. It turns out they straight up worship communist leader

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What banner? Are you under the impression that communism is some kind of monolith? If you're referring to the soviet union say that, or China, or whoever else you're specifically accusing of mass murder. The term communism refers to hundreds of different political ideologies and many different countries. Many of whom have next to nothing to do with each other.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And almost all of them have killed millions

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm going to sound like a broken record but can you specify who you are talking about?

How is asking you to be specific with your arguments "anti west propaganda"?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 year ago

I'm mostly referring to the moderation of lemmy.ml only promoting pro communist ideas. They actively remove all noncommunist content

[–] tla@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Over 26 million people from ex Soviet states were killed in world war 2 fighting facism. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties_of_the_Soviet_Union

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 year ago

Exactly my point

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

This seems to be a particularly American concern, presumably dating back to the McCarthy era. Tye real question is: are they Tankies?

Also water is wet. The devs' political views are not important to me, the software they make is more important. "Separate the art from the artist."

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True they start telling you how China is doing wonders for its people.

I disagree politicly with many people on reddit. I don't care if you disagree but it does bother me when they are following a dead idolology.

I also don't like lemmy.ml being as big as it is. We need to seperate the power of development from the power of administration

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also the devs expressed support for people creating more mainstream liberal instances. That's the reason why there are recommended instances at Join-Lemmy.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 year ago

That seems bad for the ecosystem as a whole.

[–] Noetic97@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good. We need more communists representing their ideas in open forums. I’d be more concerned if they were capitalists. That’s just Reddit 2.0.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 year ago

That's terrifying

[–] Datas_Cat_Spot@startrek.website 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sometimes the best tech people are weird as hell. This might be one of those cases.

Although I did hear that they censor content critical of china, which sucks.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 year ago

censor content critical of China

This is exactly my point. China is authoritarian and has commited war crimes against people who it doesnt't like. It also arrests journalists as enemies of the state.

I'm not saying the west is completely perfect but China is much worse

[–] roo@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've lived in a communist country before. It's not really an issue for me.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do you believe in "removing" people who are "unfit for society" or the execution of enemy's of the state (ei journalists)

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You seem to be confusing communism and dictatorships.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -2 points 1 year ago

You need a authoritarian oppression and mass propaganda to keep communism in line. Farms will fall to product enough food and you need to hide the reason for the failure from the people

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Communism is not eugenics. I also would love to see who specifically you are saying was executed. Just calling someone a journalist doesn't automatically mean they are good people who do good things. Be specific if you're going to make an argument.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

True but they execute anyone who dares to say anything other than the official media

[–] Quetzacoatl@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you're saying that as if it's a bad thing! especially as long as they just develop and stay out of pushing certain content, then I couldn't care less. now if they were tankies on the other hand, that I would mind!

Their memes community is now full of post about how it's ok to kill capitalists and other hatefull bullshit and no admin seems to care. Also their comics community is now just spam of extremly hateful comics from one of the admins.
