I’ve been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

      It was literally created to be reddit without the capitalism. You didn’t think what the implications of that meant?

        It’s a federated platform… it can be whatever the instance hosts want it to be.

          Yeah but the anti-corporation and anti-capitalism aspect plays deeply into federated free libre open source platforms and software. The culture of FOSS is inherently communist. You think corporate bros love freedom, privacy, piracy, all that shit?

            I don’t think the average person cares about the FOSS principles that the instance software was built upon, they probably care that it just works and receives updates. People will come for the content.

              True, buuuuuut the FOSS community is a bit militant with being anti-corpo and anti-capitalist. Even if it is not a direct concern for people who give 0 fucks about FOSS tribalism, the culture’s benefits directly impact them in a good way. Besides, capitalism is not something many people like lmao. Most capitalism lovers either are big business leeches, or kids belonging to those families or are Instagram dronies.

        Not how FOSS works. If devs tried that, lemmy forks and splits, basically defederating but more steps and more pain/forced defederating as people choose between two camps.

        Who said this is a liberal platform?

        Nobody. You’re the only person trying to define what platform you believe lemmy to be.

          You asserted this is not a communist or any -ist platform. You got no answer to my rebuttal, and pretend to cry? Fuck outta here with that shit.
