They are hardline Marxist-Leninists, something that is very rare in the western world even amongst those who identify as leftist or socialist. If their views make you uncomfortable, then you're not a ML, which is okay.

Left-wing politics is a very broad spectrum, and a lot of Lemmy users lean towards the more moderate end which brings them into conflict with the more radical communities that are Lemmygrad and Hexbear.

That's all there is to it.

YouTube says it's part of a plan to make people who use adblockers "experience suboptimal viewing"

As opposed to the perfectly optimal experience you get when allowing ads

Anyone who has been paying attention for the last several years knows the Tories don't care about free speech. They just use the term as a political weapon.

A third competitor for Android and iOS would be amazing. But not if it's Amazon..

Serious sexual repression I think. Conservatives publicly treat sex and sexuality as things that are dirty and sinful. Sometimes they get caught out for doing weird shit because they can't escape from their inherent human sexual urges.

Same. I don't miss it. I'm really enjoying Lemmy and the fediverse!

All decent people should get off X and let it continue to fester. The people who continue to use it despite claiming to be against everything it and Musk stand for are a part of the problem.

1923 - "we need to scrap the harshest measures of the treaty of versailles and help Germany's economic recovery, otherwise these national socialists are going to exploit the misery to gain power" lol

Random little anecdote: A kid at my school got suspended for 2 weeks for calling the school librarian hot. This happened years ago and it was a big scandal lmao

Very good system. We all need to get into the habit of bringing our own bottles/cups and reusable bags when we're out and about.

Mullvad is good, definitely my go-to VPN these days.

I don't mind seeing communist content, it's better than the shit that I was seeing on Reddit's front page before I left it. At least communists aren't spewing hatred against people based on their skin colour, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other things that people can't control.

Although the centrists and leftists still hate each other, Lemmy is just a nicer place in general due to the lack of far-right horse shit.
