Someone mentioned that, but I have yet to see why dot world blocked the commie instances. Care to share?
Here's Lemmy.world explaining why. Essentially, for having stances common to communists (opposing western hegemony is a big one they took issue with). Lemmy.world is run by your standard DNC-style liberals, they generally oppose Marxism and communism, and uphold the DNC as good. Some are also zionists.
Now, that's my perspective as a communist. I'm a Marxist-Leninist, my perspective is as someone who reads theory, does light org work, etc. I'm not a fan of the DNC, I support socialist states, etc. Others may give a different perspective, but it's also worth noting that there are entire drama communities dedicated to taking comments out of context, witch-hunting communists, etc and this is made even worse by defederation because it creates this "boogeyman" that .world can't actually see.
Hope that helps, honestly you can just scroll grad and hexbear yourself for a bit without making an account to see what's up.
Thank you for the reasonable reply that didn't attack my character for asking. Apparently, that's too much to ask of some people.
Just be warned, Cowbee is very much misrepresenting things here.
I urge you to read the thread he linked, and not take his summary seriously.
As I explained in my reply to you, I misrepresented nothing. Lemmy.world admins banned Hexbear because of ideological disagreements they deemed unacceptable before even federating. Hexbear never said they were going to "wage a propaganda war," they just suggested that if their users were to discuss politics in federated threads that they try to be more professional about it.
Me: posts direct quotes about waging a propaganda war
You: They never said they were going to wage a propaganda war.
Why are you just straight up lying?
I'm not lying, though. You misrepresented the post, and I elaborated directly to you. They told users not to engage in rowdy behavior and instead insisted on professionalism.
"No u"
Buddy -- I quoted it. Stop lying.
You misrepresented it, and me, as I already explained in my other reply.
