Lol I literally just thought to myself before scrolling to your post "I think I've seen 25 communist themed posts in an hour"

my other thoughts "wtf is 196?" And "Rule?!" Guess I missed the memo.

politic it up people, I personally dgaf. In the end, though: generally speaking, glorifying shitty people is glorifying shitty people, imo.

[-] eric5949@beehaw.org 15 points 1 year ago

196 is some meme sub from reddit, the rule is you gotta post a meme or some shit like that.

[-] MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ahh thanks! I keep seeing it along with like a picture of Castro or smth so I was confused lol. I think that's just the thumbnail for one of the servers lmao

[-] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah 196 has been a thing for years, reddit just hushed them and other disproportionately active subs down with their algorithms to stop them taking over all, which is fair enough really as it's good to have a mix of subs as long as there's still a chance for each to show

[-] MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the info. Very interesting. I only started using reddit regularly like a yr ago so lot of this stuff over my head.

Image transcription: 2 symbols appear side by side. On one side, something that shines light over the dark. Commonly used to lift people up from dark places, by academics who like to read theory, or to tell scary stories around a fire as a recreational activity. On the other side, a flashlight.

[-] Just_Pizza_Crust@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Look, it is a really nice custom flashlight

Yeah we need a dark mode

[-] AcidOctopus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'm using the Jerboa app which has a dark mode. It's a good experience so far.

Bro it's already starting 💀

Sucks that so much of Lemmy is run by tankies

I'm hanging around because it's the most stable alternative right now, but once it matures a bit and gets an app, I'll likely move over to kbin instead.

At least lemmy.world seems sane.

[-] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lemmy already has at least two apps (on Android). Lemmur and Jerboa.

[-] lp0101@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I meant an app for kbin. I'm posting this off Jerboa right now :)

[-] JohannesOliver@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

Jerboa is developed by one of those people the mastodon post is talking about.

Oh God really?

[-] lp0101@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Lovely. I hope the fediverse continues to grow as it is now until tankies are just a fringe minority again.

[-] Jonathan12345@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Shut up liberal, nobody wants you here.

[-] realcaseyrollins@exploding-heads.com 1 points 1 year ago

True. But as more normal people find Lemmy, eventually they'll be outnumbered. lemmy.ml and lemmygrad are already starting to ice themselves out of a lot of instance through overly heavy moderation and pro-fascist censorship.

[-] iorale@lemmy.fmhy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

It honestly surprises me they haven't blocked other instances yet, it's been pointed out multiple times and it would be the only way to censor something that isn't in their instance

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 1 year ago

"Why are those ebil tankies the forefront of federation, this isn't adding up 😭😭😭"

It's funny that it's liberals who tend to block lemmygrad and not the other way around.

[-] Intrepid_Corvid@lemmy.fmhy.ml -4 points 1 year ago

Yeah there's some gross communities here but hopefully the tankies get overshadowed by all the normal people.

[-] aidnic@lemmygrad.ml -2 points 1 year ago

Hmmm... dehumanizing the "other". Where have I seen this rhetoric before?

[+] AbominableSlinky@lemmy.world -11 points 1 year ago

Bit of a paradox of tolerance situation here. Communist regimes have been some of the most dehumanizing in existence. It’s perfectly reasonable to not support them.

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 year ago

Back in PRL times it was the danish who came to us for abortions. Kinda funny how shit the situation is for us now.

Cuba has the most progrssive family code in the world, that was voted in by a referendum.

DDR was a forefront for trans rights, which all have been regressed after the Berlin wall fell.

But because countries of yesteryear aren't holding up to your standards of today I don't see this as fair argumentation. Hell, afro-americans had very positive experiences when visiting the USSR, being treated like an equal human being for one. Not even talking about soviets pushing sex equality in every field of life. Things like these were very much unheard of in the US at the time.

One of the few things left over from socialist times for Poland and other countries is about a 50/50 split in sex participation in the sciences.
