I’ve not been here long, but I’m curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.

    Libs downvoting you but you have a point. All the users in this thread whining about “tankies” have accounts created since June lmao.

      Well, yeah?

      Why would we want to be here when it was only a bunch of douches role playing as Stalin?

      Like I remember visiting when CTH left reddit and Lemmy has certainly come along way in having a functioning user base these past few weeks.

        So don’t come here? You’ve got plenty of other options. Why come into leftist spaces then complain about how you don’t like how leftist it is?

          What does “here” refer to? You’re on Lemmy.world, your instance has never been a “leftist space” afaik.

          Lemmy is software, not a “space”. The network is ActivityPub, also not known for being “leftist”.

            idk tell that to all the users complaining about “too many tankies” on lemmy. I’m not the one who turned this into a conversation about ideology, I’m just responding to it.

          Because it’s not a “leftist space.” It’s a federated Web platform with many communities. If any of you identipols want a safe space go setup some password protected forum somewhere.

          If you want to minimize opinions of people who joined recently, try not being someone who also joined recently.

            I’m not the one coming into leftist spaces and bitching about “tankies,” am I? I expressed no disagreement with how things were being run prior to my arrival. That was my entire point, which I’m afraid you’ve missed entirely.

              Sorry, I wasn’t aware that lemmy.world was a tankie safe-haven in the two weeks it was around before you joined. My bad.

                I never made such a claim; I addressed those who did make it and chose to complain about it. Try reading through this thread to gain an understanding of who I was referring to when I initially said “All the users in this thread whining about “tankies”.”

                Can you please make an effort to understand the point I’m making if you’re going to reply again? This is the second time you’ve completely failed to comprehend anything I’ve written.
