It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I haven’t checked Lemmy for a long time but I wanna get off Reddit again, yet I still need to know how many users are on here. Which lemmy instances are suitable to me, the most popular, and which ones to avoid? For context, im queer, anarchist with DemSoc leaning, and environmentalist. Is there a comprehensive list of all the instances and their main functions? Is the instance I’m on still workable? Any feedback would help, thx. <3

    Were they hard-line demsocs, or were they really just “progressive” liberals?

    I appreciate you for taking the time to explain this to me, mostly sounds like a term people used to other other people

    There is no left equivalent, and horseshoe theory is horseshit.

    Why didn’t I address some random, unrelated post? For one, geneva isn’t a Marxist-Leninist, he’s not a “tankie.” And for two, you’re the one who introduced “blood and soil” into that conversation, not him. He didn’t claim that “blood and soil” is “not that bad”; that’s your interpretation of what he said.

    I wouldn’t call fascists or CIA- & bourgeois-backed counterrevolutionaries “civilians.”

    Fucking hilarious that you whine about the term tankie sounding "othering" to you and then shamelessly trot this line out.

    No one buys your tankie gibberish!

    I said it before (in this thread) and I will say it again:

    ML are basically on par with Nazis; full endorsement of extermination of national identity/language/culture of “bad” ethnicities, support for russian Lebensraum, support for mass internment camps for “bad” ethnicities.

    Dessalines, an American, has never lived in Ukraine or russia, doesn’t speak Ukrainian or russian and yet he comes up with bullshit like “putin just wants to show he means business” or “war is war, civilian casualties are fine [as long as it’s Ukrainians]”.

    You never had any friends from Hungary or Czesh Republic, you've never been there.

    The USSR was total trash. Abject poverty, genocidal extermination of the cultrue and language of occupied nations, KGB goons in universities and a corrupt leadership that makes the current oligarch/criminal look like good guys. You've likely never met anyone who lived in the USSR.

    Thank you for proving my point!

    Buddy, you're on fire this morning. What did you originally get on the internet for? Was it deliberate or did you just use the services that came with your smartphone? Do you think what you're doing right now is healthy? Do you think you're spending your time in a healthy way right now?

    Do you realize that what you just described is internet bullshit and you wouldn't be angry at all if you didn't come here to see it?

    As for me, I've been here since the beforetimes. I was here before you, and I'll be here long after you get bored and go away. You came here to be judged or you wouldn't be on this social media site, so I don't understand why you're getting so offended by my judgment.

    Buddy, I grew up on USENET. If anything I saw on the internet ever upset me, I'd either be totally desensitized to it by now or I'd be irredeemably mentally ill. Take my advice and get off here. Your family needs you.

    You came here to be enraged and express your rage. What's the point of telling other people not to respond to you? This is how you're choosing to spend your time, responding to people who enrage you. If you don't want to hear from people, put your phone down and go do something else.

    I'm trans too and I'm gonna chime in and add to the chorus that you're definitely being transphobic. Just reading the exchange between you and Diva and I am coming to the conclusion that it is transphobic to decide someone is or isn't trans. You don't get to decide who is or isn't trans. It's despicable behavior and deeply offensive considering how so many trans people constantly have to prove their existence to transphobes online and irl. You should be ashamed of yourself. You're part of the problem.

    Congrats! You went on an American eurotrip in your youth. And you know a few people who were born in the USSR on Lemmy (does that include me)?

    If you know so much about the USSR, can you tell me which professions were (outside of being a party goons) considered profitable and why? Wikipedia answers aren't going to cut it. Something that shows basic knowledge on this issue without web searching. Indulge me, lil commie bro!

    Yes, meat was widely available in the USSR and common access was not limited to well-connected individuals and party goons! What a great life!

    The Holodomor never happened and it was CIA psyop! The CIA made a time machine to travel back in time and discredit comrade Stalin! I see. My great grandmother was a time travelling CIA agent working to discredit communism!

    Local language education was definitely not suppressed and cultural group of occupied nations weren't prosecuted! You could make movies in your language and vote to have education be primarily in your own language, right? You could even vote leave the USSR since it wasn't an occupation!

    The real irony is that even the russians don't believe in your cointelpro and counter-revolutionary gibberish (wrt Czechia and Hungary). They are lucid enough to understand that it was matter of imperialism and ethno-national supremacism.
