I fled Reddit due to the authoritarian mod craziness, but Lemmy.world seems infested with too much Communist craziness. I’m leftist, but communism is idiocy. Is there an instance that leans more democratic socialist but refrains from going off the deep end?

      I mean let’s not pretend that there aren’t a lot of psychotic mods on world. It’s gets pretty bad. Hell I got banned from a community for criticizing a New York Post article once. Which I mean shit, how do you not?

          You can go look it up if you want it was like I don’t know 8 months ago. Literally all it was. That’s why it’s stuck in my craw. Didn’t give two shits about the community, I wasn’t a member of it. Just so weird that that Jeff guy banned me for criticizing the New York Post.

              All right I’ll bite, why is that a red flag? This is Lemmy. Not so big that you don’t end up in communities you’re not a part of all the time. Hell I’m not a part of this community.

                  Can you show me one community on all of Lemmy in which it’s rule says you cannot criticize the source of a post? Also I don’t know why you think I’m incapable of checking the rules of a community, extremely insulting for no reason whatsoever. If you’re so positive I did something wrong you’re free to prove it. You can go back and look it up.

                  Do you not see how you’re coming across though? You say you’re not pretending that there isn’t a massive moderation problem on world and here you are tying yourself in knots when people tell you of massive moderation problems on the world.

    You should use Hexbear. There aren’t any communists there. Just posers who think communism means supporting dictatorships.

      Hexbear supports AES, that’s nowhere near the same as thinking “communism means supporting dictatorships.” It’s far easier to find people that have actually read theory on Hexbear than in most other instances on the fediverse.

              Tribal societies that don’t have advanced industrialization have a separate Mode of Production from “Socialism” in the Marxian sense. No racism at all.

                Yeah, but on the other hand, socialism is when the people own the means of production, and the Haudenosaunee have/had way more of that than USSR and China.

                  I disagree, tribal societies could only have that kind of relation by virtue of being small. In the age of modern industry, this is no longer feasible while maintaining large-scale manufacturing.
