does lemmy discriminate community against instances?
-
Yea but that was always the case.
-
Actually makes sense, there are some takes skirting on the border here

It's also an imperfect view, as @[email protected] said Cuba now has some of the best LGBT rights in the world. Social progress is very commonly accelerated in AES countries compared to Capitalist countries because society is oriented in a more cooperative manner. We can see this happen in real time in China, where the youth are far more socially progressive and perspective on LGBT issues is stratified more by generation than anything else. There's a long way to go, but progress is happening.
I do wonder what you mean by you aligning leftist/anarchist "to your knowledge," haha.

Thank you : )

Lemmy.world has moderators that will remove your comments or ban you for talking about how the Democrats contribute to the genocide of Palestinians.
-
While lemmy.ml isn't explicitly tankie like lemmygrad.ml or hexbear.chat, the fact that it's the instance run by the two OG Lemmy devs (who, along with most of the instance's admins, are Marxist Leninists) means you tend to get tankie friendly moderation. Most infamously, sinophobia is cracked down on, so shitlibs can't just go hog wild with stuff like Tinyman Square and "West Taiwan" and such.
-
This accelerates that process, for sure! I am more talking about how long-term, users tend to form more similar views. If you join an instance and another better fits your views, users tend to jump ship.

Usually techie and anarchist-adjacent, pro-piracy as well, generally anti-Marxist but usually more focused on being anti-Capitalist.
-
It may be due to the “conservative” comm on the instance. I’m still learning, of course.

I’ll have to do more reading then; thank you for sharing as well. It’s awesome to learn that Cuba’s gotten more progressive on LGBTQ issues. I wonder if the user I responded to is from the US since it’s been pretty bad here and we don’t have an established left party, so our “left” is a right wing donor class that pretends to maintain the status quo about 85% of the time.
I say to my knowledge since while I do identify as anarchist and believe healthcare, food, and shelter are bare minimum rights I understand as a human I always have more to learn and will never possess the breadth/depth of the entirety of anarchist/leftist ideology. I may currently hold blind spots and as such will need to learn and adjust in the future.

Yep, Cuba's journey with respect to social development is very admirable, their most recent Family Code is more LGBTQ friendly than the US. The PRC has further to go, but the CPC itself is more LGBTQ neutral, so there's good reason to believe the improving trends over time as generations change will improve legislation.
As for Anarchism/Leftism, I think that's more than sufficient to consider yourself one full-stop, no "to my knowledge" needed. I myself have a long way to go as a Marxist-Leninist, but reading theory has been tremendously clarifying for me and my journey. I know you consider yourself an Anarchist, but if you want recommendations on Marxism-Leninism I made an intro reading list (linked on my profile). I think it's generally useful for Leftists of all stripes to engage with the ideas of other predominant Leftist ideologies.

Hope and action go hand and hand, and it sounds like younger generations in those countries understand that well.
That’s a valid point; the literal definition of anarchy itself is the absence/abolition of hierarchies so that is pretty easily covered in identification. I’ll check it out, thank you! I’m a firm believer in leftist unity as we have the common overarching goal of equitable rights and QoL for all people.
-
Yep, agreed! Even if the means and ends are different between Marxism and Anarchism, the fundamental obstacle is still Imperialism and Capitalism, and the goal is still focused on the people, not those with Capital.
-
Both c/conservative on Lemm.ee and Lemmy.world are currently unmoderated (no community moderators).
The one community moderator on .ee got banned for some Nazi shit.
Now in both communities there is lots of love for trans people

They just hate we're right all the time.

They hate us cuz they aint us

Hexbear.net doesn't seem to exist anymore?
-
Hexbear.net doesn't seem to be registered anymore
-
Apparently as another poster pointed out hexbear.net isn't there, or rather it redirects to chapo.chat when I checked it just now. No idea why they'd think that means it's dead though. I was just pointing out the defederation as a possible source of their confusion.
-
It redirects to chapo.chat for me but still has banners and posts that call it hexbear
