I feel like all the news subs on Lemmy are slowly turning into a sixth form politics class with all the commie stuff recently. Is anyone here over the age of twenty, lol.
Lemmy attracts more activists, while Reddit attracts more passive users. This was by design, and if you’re unhappy with it then Reddit is still freely available.
Are you really surprised that activists aren’t happy with the West?
I’m not particularly happy with it, but I don’t loathe it. There’s a difference between being unhappy with your own country and holding water for dodgy places like China and Russia.
I think the fact that there is a variety of opinions being posted, compared to the censorship I witnessed on Reddit, is the more mature situation. If anyone is being childish, it’s those who feel the need to censor opposing ideologies. Feeling free to post and discuss differing views has a lot of value. I am assuming by your use of “commie” that you’d rather dismiss an entire ideology and group of supporters outright rather than on any real grounds.
What opinions and ideologies are you referring to exactly? What discussions are you referring to?
This person is simply pushing the interests of the Chinese government and only replies insults and bad faith arguments when you try to engage in “discussion” or comment “opposing ideologies.” They’re not advocating for communism, they’re advocating for their specific government to control more. Pretty laughable especially in the context of censorship considering China monitors their entire nation’s internet traffic and censors everything that isn’t pro-China.
Oh no, you’ve wandered off reddit and found out that people have different political views outside your walled garden. Now you feel the need to sound edgy.

You should check out !worldnews@lemmy.world. Lot fewer tankies being useful idiots there. The magic of the fediverse 🪄
Thanks for the tip. I’ll get subbed. Seems like a lot of these types seem to be coming from a couple of instances.
OP is an angry tankie who, to their credit, surfaces topics. Any of us can, few of us do.
Until and unless a more diverse set of people surface news/topics, we’ll have the status quo.
