Does anyone else have multiple accounts while looking for new reddit alts? So far I’ve got accounts on Lemmy, kbin, and Squabbles and I’ve been lurking on Raddle, Sqwok, and Tildes from the outside.
Also, man, that sentence is just the most 2023 statement ever. “Raddle” … “Sqwok” … “Lemmy” … None of these sound like real things. What even is this timeline we’re in…
They aren’t in your face about the tankie stuff on lemmy.ml but when it comes out holy shit. There was one thread discussing bans for “orientalism” where people were going on about westerners being racist without any hint of irony (that was also where I found out the .ml stands for Marxism–Leninism). I deleted my account there straight away.
At least with lemmygrad.ml you know what you’re getting into…
Why are Marxist Leninist so pro-China anyway? Like doesn’t China practice heavy capitalism and have a crap load of billionaires? Not very marxist there. Nor is their insistence on horrible worker rights and disallowing trade unions.
Seems like a lie that it’s “ML”
I think for many it’s a case of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. USA bad therefore China good.
You also see it when tankies disguss the current Russian war. There’s not so much justifying the actual invasion as there is whataboutism about the West.
