It is very left, sometimes infuriatingly so when the people here defend autocratic countries such as Iran.
Or communists defending the CCP seemingly entirely due to their name
That’s mostly .ml users not most of Lemmy and none of PieFed
Wait til they hear the CCP is more capitalist than actually communist, of course they don’t read up on history
Always will be that way, too.
IIRC, Lemmy.ml was the first instance; the ones who built Lemmy. We’re kind of the “normies” who’ve invaded their space.
I appreciate them for building Lemmy and letting it remain free (“freedom” free). Still, I’ll argue with people who are saying crazy stuff like NK being a good place for its citizens to live…
“Maduro must have won the election fair and square because the US said he didn’t.”
Arguing that Israel and the US shouldn’t indiscriminately bomb Iran is not the same as defending their leadership.
I’ve seen both.
