    Since Lemmy.ml is still federated with Lemmygrad and Hexbear I see their posts and comments pretty regularly.

    That’s why I’m aggravated that I see people complaining about those groups but haven’t seen the rhetoric their accused of. 😔

    I genuinely want some links to examples. It would make me sad but I can accept if I’m wrong.

    I joined Lemmy before the mass exodus, when the three major servers were Lemmy.ml, Beehaw, and Lemmygrad.

    What do you mean by pointing that out?

    I’ve seen more than my fair share of Lemmygrad posts and comments.

    I stand by what I said.

    I’m happy to look at any links to comments you dissaprove of.

    It gets thrown around a lot by people who don’t know the first thing about Marxism.

    I’m a card carrying socialist so you think, with the communities I subscribe to, I would have seen some Tankies commenting, but I’ve yet to run across any Uygur genocide or Russian apologizing so far.

    It really makes me mad when people accuse the maintainers of Lemmy of being Tankies when all I can find are very based essays they’ve written about socialist philosophy.

    Edit: Just to be clear, I won’t tolerate any Russia/China apologism. My account being from Leemy.ml means I still see content from the people most likely to be Tankies. I’m always willing to admit I am wrong if someone makes a compelling argument. I’ve just been silent on this topic since people started complaining and this is my first real push back. I don’t want the Tankie slur applied to anyone who doesn’t deserve it.

    Something doesn’t seem right about that.

    You’re supposed to work 40+ years to pay off a 20 year debt to society? That doesn’t seem fair.

    Also you didn’t chose to be born, I don’t think you owe anyone anything for having to grow to reach an age where you have agency over yourself.

    This answer is so perfect and so pragmatic.

    It’s the thing I’d love to tell in the heat of the moment but always bungle the delivery.

    I feel deeply the sentiment that I’ve been lucky but that’s all it’s been is luck. I don’t think I deserve what I have. No one should have to scrounge just to survive.

    Thanks for this.
