Aaaaaaand I just got banned from NOT one, NOT two, NOT three, but four Lemmy.ml communities. Is this a sign I have to start studying and reading up on theory?
Also, I know some Lemmy.ml mods is gonna say that "you wouldn't get banned from these communities had you read your theory!" like they're teachers demanding students to eat their meat before they can have their pudding (because how can you have your pudding when you don't eat your meat?)
Now I support the idea of socialism (I'm more of a market socialist), and I'm NOT against the idea of actually existing socialist countries (ie: China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos and the DPRK). That said, I think Lemmy.ml should be more open to different forms of socialism, as well as the Marxist Leninists who DOESN'T have to support Stalin (and his bureaucratic and polarizing practices while General Secretary of the CPSU) to support ML.
I am very bummed that I CAN'T respond in these communities - that said, I can subscribe to different versions of these communities that happened to be in different Lemmy instances (other than Lemmy.ml):
Socialism:

!actualsocialism101@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Privacy:
Memes:
Lemmy support:
Someone should make another Lemmy support community here in this instance
I’m by no means claiming to be the best read. Their prior banned accounts are on hexbear and lemmy.ml - same name, though the post style would be easily recognizable unless they significantly change it up.
I’ve pointed them towards several podcasts previously and highlighted specific episodes related to things they’ve “struggled” with as an alternative to reading. Videos aren’t really my thing, so if that’s their medium I certainly haven’t helped.
Despite multiple people who seem to land on the “bit” side, I’ve continued to engage in the hope that they’re being genuine about the core of their beliefs, but
