Or something that goes a bit deeper onto each instance and explains them better? I have a mutual on mastodon that I recommended Lemmy to, and tried to link join-lemmy.org/instances, but it doesn't really do much to warn about hexbear/lemmygrad/.ml/etc. Those instances are defederated from a LOT of lemmy and i don't want my moot to sign up there and not even know that they're not really experiencing the Lemmy experience that I'm recommending.

I don't wanna start a war in the comments about instance dramas, I just wanna find a better resource to recommend Lemmy as a 'reddit alternative' -w-

"I don't want to start a comment war, I just want to spew anticommunism while receiving zero pushback" isn't going to work on Lemmy. You can block the instances and comments and posters, but this entire thing is built by communists. You will never have a liberal paradise in these parts.

FYI .ml is federated with almost every single instance. You're just making shit up to get mad about.

    So anything you don't agree with is liberalism? They didn't mention their views anywhere, this sounds a lot like projection. Figures for a .ml user I suppose.

    One doesn't need to broadcast one's views in some formal fashion to be criticized for them, nor do I need your approval to call people out for their statements being riddled with Capitalist-apologia. The dude literally has "tankie" in the title.

    The OP said anticommunist things — they don't have to admit to being an anticommunist for me to judge them for their statements and claims.

    By your logic, one could literally spew the most insane fascist rhetoric imaginable, and as long as they don't declare their views fascist, it would be a leap of faith to criticize their views. Utter intellectual juvenility.

    My mutual is very anti authoritarian, that's why they got a warning on Reddit. I imagine they aren't welcome on your instance 😂

    Like I said

    The truth is that .ml doesn't screen for ideology past a basic formality. However, many .ml posters have indeed studied enough Marxist-Leninism to recognize that the word "authoritarian" was perverted by imperialists to mean "communist" and is more of an indication that someone using it is clueless than it is a useful adjective.

    ngl it's always weird when certain very loud 'anti-authoritarians' have no problem with the system that unpersons you if you can't pay rent

    It's implied by making the distinction in the first place.

    Liberals in leftist spaces and nazis in liberal spaces act the same way. You think you can outsmart your own affectations by not 'saying the thing' explicitly.

    And yet ml users simp for Russia, China, and NK. All three are authoritarian regimes, and nowhere near any sort of “communism”.

    Right, like I said, using the word 'authoritarian' makes you look clueless. Case in point.

    Also, 'regime' is an imperialist codeword for 'government we don't like' and has no actual meaning.
