Hi everyone. Another refugee from reddit here. What’s the drama with the Lemmy teams politics? I’ve seen a few people warn that they’re not great, but the only example that I actually saw was an argumentative back-and-forth in a github issue about filter lists for slurs.
It didn’t seem particularly damning to me.
See my post here: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/30312
I’ve used lemmy since long before the reddit drama. The creators of lemmy are Marxist-Leninists, lemmygrad.ml is hosted and moderated by them. It is also one of the oldest instances. The ml stands for Marxist Leninist. I suggest you move on if you find all this repulsive. This honestly reminds me of when western expats would fly into asian country and complain that nobody speaks english and that “there are so many minorities here”. You’re on a communist forum, it’s run by communists gasp.
the ml stands for mali, and is a tld that gives out free domains, tho perhaps they chose that one over others because of Marxism-Leninism
This ml passed to have any meaning it seems I heard many stating it’s “machine learning”
As in the creators of the inital lemmy? Do the hold any power onto the whole lemmy? I understand that the idea of the fediverse is that no one has that kind of power but still would like to ask the stupid question.
Yikes.

Go back to r*ddit. Or walk outside.
I appreciate the information. I’m not pearl clutching, just curious.
It is interesting to see people flock here to celebrate values that they don’t politically espouse. I am not a marxist myself, but I don’t think we would have anything close to this product without such an ideology, and it’s just as ironic to see a few alt-right instances floating around. The human experience is complicated, to say the least.
