Lemmy is populated by far left Americans who were banned from Reddit for extremism. Strict ideological conformity is required or youโ€™ll get actual death threats. Donโ€™t go there unless you want violent communist revolution and hate discussing interesting ideas.

Sorry, have to lock post since it's attracting off-topic debate and personal attacks that break the rules.

That's funny, I deleted my Reddit account after I'd gotten sick of it.

Not clear to me whether it's saying the death threats come from lemmy or from reddit.

That's a half truth, I've only been banned 6 times from reddit and 3 times from Lemmy, and never for extremism. And all my death threats were deserved.

Ahh yes letโ€™s discuss fringe radical far left views like โ€˜letโ€™s not kill all the poor peopleโ€™ and โ€˜the state has a duty to protect its citizenryโ€™ yes, dangerously radical.

[โ€“] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And radical economic ideas like "buy stuff from companies in your own country" or "don't buy stuff from companies in a country that is in the process of severing trade ties with your country".

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Wow thatโ€™s so radical how can you believe such fringe far left talking points

If you think genocide is bad, you're a communist!

No shit though, the most rabid anti-communists literally thought like that. Like J. Edgar Hoover, the reichminister of the FBI straight up said shit in his book

"The Party (CPUSA) has operated hundreds of major fronts in practically every field of Party agitation: 'peace,' civil rights, protection of the foreign-born, support for (political) 'victims,' abolition of H-bomb tests, exploitation of nationality and minority groups."

Literally saying if you were against shit like Jim crow segregation or having paid vacation days at your job you were literally taking your marching orders from the USSR.

That's how out of touch with humanity they are. If you aren't trying to inflict the maximum amount of human suffering with your every breath you're their enemy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm small c conservative on a few things. mostly fiscal

My reddit account has not been banned. i'm here by choice

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Exact same here. But I still occasionally pop on Reddit to shit post about bad knockoff watches.

[โ€“] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

there are no (populated) instances which arenโ€™t far left American politics

Imagine thinking .world or .ee are "far left" instances lmao what level of nazism is this doofus on?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Most people on Lemmy are in favor of killing all rich people, which Iโ€™d consider a far left position.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

You can find that on Reddit too. Itโ€™s just this community is much smaller, so these voices are more prominent on lemmy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Isn't the username of the person literally "Heil Hitler"?

[โ€“] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago

That's wrong I'll kill you

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Reminds me of how people say they don't wanna come to Australia, because there are too many spiders. I mean, sure, they're everywhere, but the weather's nice.

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Strict ideological conformity is required or youโ€™ll get actual death threats.

They feel so threatened by people existing to the left of them, that they have to make up nonsense like this. Deeply unserious people.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

ah now, remember the lore, calling them deeply unserious is a death threat! that's just how we are

[โ€“] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

I just left Reddit because I have principles..

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I would not worry so much about the one guy. But do tell them they are wrong.
