Itโs funny that the commentator is danish.
Iโm:
- Not American
- Not far-left (certainly heaps far away from โrightโ tho)
- Not banned from Reddit
Guess Iโm not here, the more ya know
We can be not here together.
I haven't been banned from Reddit.
I want Lemmy to succeed because I want to interact more with people who are not from the U.S., and I don't want to use platforms from the people who were sitting behind him on inauguration day.
Since Elon feels that he can interfere in Reddit and since Reddit seems open to letting that happen, that's a good sign to me that I should limit my use of Reddit and should use alternatives instead. Lemmy seems to be the most Reddit-like of those alternative platforms, so here I am.
This.

Lemmy is populated by far left Americans who were banned from Reddit for extremism
considering you can get banned from reddit for being trans or using a vpn because you care about privacy that's not really the point they think they're making

He uses a lot of words but what I think he's trying to say is 'I'm not leaving Reddit because I'm an American neonazi and I like how things are going here'
I have more of a feeling most people here are Deutsch. But then again, thatโs probably an American speaking.
Also: In the last two years I didnโt get a single death threat on Lemmy. On Reddit I sometimes got one a week. Almost always Nazis or cops wanting to fight me on the street, or SA me or something else they love to fantasise over. And then there was that one Indian guy who didnโt like me calling him out on his Islamophobia.
Sooooooooooo I have to assume that part with the death threats is made up.

As a Dane myself, whenever I see someone claiming to be Danish with takes like this, I feel like investigating, and what a curious account indeed. The account is a little over 5 weeks old, yet they've posted so incredibly much I doubt that's their first account. They wrote in Danish a total of 6 times and it doesn't look machine translated, so I believe they're from Denmark, but I also found a post stating they "moved to Denmark", not sure where from though, but they post all over the place, like /r/ukpolitics, /r/norway, /r/newzealand, /r/auckland, /r/australia, /r/jordanpeterson, /r/conservative and /r/republican to mention parts of the spectrum.
Interesting person indeed, clearly right wing, but why would they move to Denmark of all places?
Maybe he was hired to work on an oil platform or something, you never know.
... so, Russian troll factory account

Why do they think communism is far left?
Because it is? If private ownership of everything is the capitalist goal, aka far right, then people owning everything is obviously its exact opposite, aka far left.
We're currently somewhere in the middle, leaning towards right. Some places further than others.
That's only one part of it. Right to protest, for example, is considered leftist, but it doesn't exist in communism. It's not black and white, but if I had to describe communism as left or right, definitely right due to social freedoms. I'm glad I'm not obligated to take a pregnancy test before getting a job and I don't think that counts as a leftist idea at all.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think communism says anything about a right to protest. You're thinking of authoritarianism which is a different category.
