    It’s good to see comments like this getting upvoted. It gives me hope that lemmy isn’t a lost cause.

      oh God I got banned from subs in lemmy.ml for saying this. It really made people angry.

      there is a huge portion of the population who think like toddlers and just say “NO!”, cross their arms, and fall to the floor.

          there are sensitive people in lemmy.ml who sort by new comment and hit the F5 button every 5 seconds. they have no life and are waiting to pounce. pretty much substitute “communist” with “Facebook Evangelical” and it’s the same thing.

            Yep. Had a few accounts there before I knew what it was. One got banned for suggesting that responding to everting with memes is juvenile.

            Deleted all of them and moved elsewhere.

              I joined there because it was the devs’ instance. Had no idea what “ML” meant. I lasted only a couple months before it was explained to me that I’m actually a horrible racist for supporting Ukraine because, trust me, Russia is totally an Asian country and so if you don’t support Russia, you’re racist against Asians. That was when I woke up and realized that we were dealing with people no different than Sovereign Citizens. They’ve figured out their special words and magic phrases in just the same way,

              Worse: I’m actually very sympathetic to the concept of socialism in general and communism. But these people would rather be right at all costs than swell their numbers.
