Hello, Im kind of new here and trying to get used to Lemmy and I was wondering about if this is true since I am considering donating on this site to support alternative projects but wanted to hear other users before doing so. That being said, what have been your experiences?
No… thats not really a thing here anyway. But yeah. I may have been totally banned several times, hearsay. I might get banned again just for saying that. Its usually shortly after I reveal some of my awesome political opinions… /s There really is only a couple handfuls of folks posting content too. Watch for P icarrd maneuver, p ugjebus, c owbea, and some others. They post shit all hours of the day constantly, to dozens of different instances like it’s their job… but they certainly aren’t getting paid.
No, I dont care about getting banned anyway, im going to speak my mind. Unfortunately, Marxist and commies dont usually agree with me and is usually the point of contention.
You think everyone here is a marxist or communist, do you?
Everyone? Of course not Everyone
I wouldn’t even say most. The actual communists (ML or anarcho) are concentrated on lemmy.ml, hexbear and lemmygrad (the latter two being heavily defederated). Dbzer0 has many too. But I would say most users are social democrat or democratic socialist.
Yeah, you may say that, and you might also be full of shit. To state so confidently that you know the the political affiliation of the majority around here is not only presumptuous, but also, quite ignorant…
So you know the affiliation of them, but I don’t?
the most vocal people definately are. that or just believe in extreme leftist rhetoric.
very rare to see conservative/right wing opinions on here. and moderate/mainstream perspectives get labeled as fascist/right wing by the leftists. on lemmy i’m apparently a nazi-sympathizer for owning a car, for example, beacuse i’d take the bus or something if i wasn’t a nazi…
That doesn’t inherently make them communist or marxist.
