That's been my approach as well. I also find it's nice be able to post to lemmy.ml from Lemmygrad and not have all the libs from paces like beehaw descend to downvote. So it's sort of a feature when you think about it. :)
Wait this is actually hilarious. If Lemmy gets really big and all the liberal instances de-federate from us we can convert more people to marxism and they'll have no clue what's happening. They're basically doing the "if I can't see you, you can't see me" thing that kids do.
It didn't used to be so liberal though right? It seems to me with the flood of people from reddit it flipped overnight into almost the exact same liberal groupthink as reddit had.
My conjecture based on disagreements I've had with them, their goal is to draw in libs so that the marxists actually have people to educate. Without them it kinda became an echo chamber.
lmao how are marxists going to educate them if they're people are gonna block marxist instances and ban (or outright block) marxist users for being "tankies"?
most already go "LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" if you as much as try to debunk them on lies about the russo-ukrainian war, about china, about dprk anyway; and find marxist solutions to be "too radical".
I figure there's only so much that can be done when you have a massive flood of users joining at the same time. Between dev work and administrating lemmy.ml, dessalines and nutomic must be swamped.
I'm kinda doubtful about them. Agreeable says he's ML, but World News where he is also a mod is notorious for not banning even outright fake NATO propaganda and shills and not just now but even before. Wazowski is inactive and seems to be radlib. K_o_t seems to be some kind of vague green supporting Ukraine, no idea who Maya even is, Arthur Besse idk but posted some ukronazi prop before.
