The Left has used and abused “Nazi” so much in recent years that it doesn’t really mean anything more than, ‘someone I don’t like’.
as opposed to right winger saying “disagreeing with everyone makes you nazi, when said person says nazi stuff?”
So what, do we have to call it Sparkling Fascism now when the unelected bureaucrat does a literal Nazi salute?
Did you miss the bit with the nazi salutes?
Go on, do a nazi salute and tell us how you’re definitely not a nazi.
Except for the fact that he’s literally pushing Nazi rhetoric. Fuck off with the Nazi apologism.
What Nazi rhetoric in he pushing?
He literally just retweeted a post the other day claiming Hitler didn’t kill millions…
17hr old account, and you’re posting everywhere…
I have posted 6 comments in 4 communities.
I recently deleted my +10y (cant remember anymore how old it was) old account. I had not logged in with it since the first exodus.
In my time, I started from the old reddit, saw the changes to more modern UI twice. I “collaborated” with the pixel art canvas event. (twice?) (last was fullout among us dithering) And finally saw the full revolt against spez that ended my journey there. (plus the complete enshittification of the reddit app)
I started deleting saved posts and comments today - planning to delete my account when that’s all done.
Lemmy.ml admins be like: “We’re not so different, you and I.”
felt like that site/instance is mostly shills for right wingers. almost anyone have an acct on there or post form there always a right winger doing it.
I think you’re mistaking socialist critique for right wing. I’ve done that myself in the past. I automatically assumed that people critical of centrist or liberal politics are rabid right wingers. Turns out people from the left also criticize those politics. Throughout most of my life such criticism always came from right, so I used to assume it’s coming from right wing nuts. If you don’t ask any questions about why, the single-sentence critique can look identical. E.g. “Democrats are hot garbage.” But if you ask why, it often turns out the reasoning and the proposed solutions are quite different. E.g. workers in the US are struggling. A right wing nut might want to get rid of government to solve that. A socialist might want to strengthen labor unions, tax the rich and nationalize healthcare. They both think the Democrats are shit since the party is doing neither. People from .ml are overwhelmingly comrades criticising from the left. In fact .ml stands for Marxist-Leninist.
Is that a Falling Down reference?
No it’s a reference to .ml being an authoritarian shithole. Just as reddit as this point.
Authoritarian - yes, nazi sympathizing - no. They’re typically leftist.
0 to 1939 reminds me of a certain recent AI misalignment paper, go to the drop down “Bonus Question: Time Travel Story”. It’s worth it.
r/europe was as much of a right-wing cesspool as r/worldnews since forever. You all were fine with that.
Now look at all of you crybabies bcs the full on fascist tok over from your precious fascist lite.
Anyone wo wasn’t banned waaaay before has clearly not had the balls to even mildly criticise a genocide or whatever.
Bunch of manufactured consent tools, and then think they are in some way more respectable.only after israel invaded gaza, before that they were much more lenient. ever since, they are so sensitive, that criticising israel was enough to warrant a ban.
It reminds me of the nazi collaborators, doing their thing right unrtil 1943, when it was clear they would lose and suddenly jumped ship bcs ‘they saw the light’.
I think even less of them than outright nazis who at least showed their true colors.
All of the Reddit refugees are exactly that. I despise them and their fake indignation and pretend care for values.
Reddit is run by Nazi collaborators.
I came here at the suggestion of others on reddit. I’m still trying to figure out how to find the groups/info that I’m interested in. Looking forward to conversations where comments are unnecessarily removed.
We are still pretty small (but growing!) so keep in mind more niche or focused communities may be less active. A common example is posting in a game community (like !games@sh.itjust.works) instead of looking for a specific community. However, if you’re dedicated and could post a few times a week you can make your own community and people will come.
The best resource for looking for communities is still Lemmyverse as it tracks all communities (your instance search will only retrieve results from its users subscriptions.
depends on which ones, niche subs on reddit arnt found on lemmy sadly, and some are barely posting. i think by now you can guess which communities tha tpeople have come from, are the ones that were banned in large numbers.
mainly politics, news, reddit, tech,etc. i would avoid any conservative subs, or any subs that very biased to one extreme.
The issue I have with this is that they left Trump out.
That’s the point. I’m sure it pisses off Trump to some degree when we don’t focus on him.
Trump is media savvy enough not to go full Nazi.
Why does everyone still care so much about what Reddit does?
Maybe because it’s the reddit thread?
Remember the last exodus? We talked about reddit a lot for a bit.
Now new people are coming and this is a good thing. Let them get it out of their system.
Fair enough. That makes sense.
i think people were getting permabanned for the slightest indiscretion, or even the current reddit anti-luigi campaign.
So, again… who cares? It’s Reddit.
I’m not trying to be argumentative at all, I’m genuinely asking why does anyone care that Reddit is turning full-fascist?
Was everyone not aware this was the direction they were going in?
Yes, I do, they are training the AI’s on it. I was just having some break throughs using AI to cut through the fox news info sphere. I do not want to see the AI start spewing kremlin talking points.
Not every subreddit is turning fascist. It’s still a lifeline for a lot of people with certain health issues, or an evergreen repository for niche hobbies that is more complete than anywhere else with active communities that are helpful to newbies.
It’s a huge ask getting people that are getting legitimate help and advice over there to move to a Lemmy community that lacks all the historical information and enough activity that helps people in a timely way.
I know because I’m asking overthere. And a lot of people stuck there aren’t closet conservatives, trolls, or bots, they are sharing protest hat patterns, talking about how to get legal treatments that might get banned, and providing information and resources on how to get urgent location-banned medical care, i.e. abortions.

Even more reason to leave. I understand the hurdles but none of that is remotely safe to discuss on reddit anymore.
“white power steering” that’s brilliant(ly depressingly accurate)
That’s because they’re afraid & hate when it happed, happens, and will happen again to Spez.
English people acc know how to think for themselves, we criticise our politicians regardless of what parties we vote for and form our own opinions rather than follow the rhetoric of one of two absolutely dogshit parties.
Also English people: “We can’t vote for corbyn, he’s a nazi communist woke woman hater”
That’s exactly my point, most usual labour voters didn’t agree with Corbyn, cause they don’t blindly follow whoever’s leader of any one party.
In fact we usually vote for whichever party’s either the least dogshit at the time or strategically vote against the most, for example when Blair illegally went to war in Iraq to suck American dick we all collectively voted against Labour, and after the absolute Tory shitshow we all voted against them.
Strategically because of our absolutely shit, barely democratic FPTP voting system, which usually forces people to vote strategically, against the most powerful party they like the least, but luckily we still have more than 2 voting options.
So that’s how you guys got Blair 2?
Be real, the British public is as undereducated and propagandized as everywhere else.
Fuck reddit.
Hell yeah brother.
Hey, how about we leave the needless gendering of everything on reddit maybe? Gentle reminder that not everything needs to be gendered and (especially on Lemmy) there are lots of folks who might be put off in some way by this, because it feels very much (at least to me) like something (particularly white cishet) dudes say to each other and not something that applies to folks of all genders and communities, like “friend” for example. Not trying to imply that you are any of those things (even someone who is okay being called dude, I’m not calling you that, intending to be giving a vibe on the statement without judging you) just that that’s what I think of when I see that and I wouldn’t necessarily mind if someone said it to me (especially in person; I’m currently masc presenting at the least, not sure yet where I actually land) but thinking of others who might feels like something that happens on Lemmy that differentiates the community at large from reddit. Not saying it’s always like that, check my recent comments if you want to see examples of how some folks are def still trolling here, but it’s better and I hope we can continue to wear that diversity and respect as a badge of honor sort of.
Shut up snowflake
Sorry dude, these are commonly used expressions for like the last 60 years man. Why don’t you just enjoy the wide range of words used to communicate between humans friend? The history of our language. Hell ya brother should be read in the voice of Macho Man Randy savage. It adds some flair to the words when the reader understands the context.
We should try to celebrate diversity instead of enforce conformity. Especially when it comes to communicating and language.
enforce conformity
I don’t see where I said I would like to enforce anything, please point out exactly what you’re referring to. [1]
We should try to celebrate diversity
Yeah, that’s what I said too, when I was explaining in a very clear and solutions focused way to someone else the ways they can, you know, actually do that by respecting folks who may feel left out when it’s so common to assume everyone is a man behind a computer, which is the opposite of “celebrating diversity”.
dude
man
This feels intentionally (and unnecessarily) disrespectful after I just made it clear I do not think that type of language is inclusive to everyone.
should
Why don’t you just enjoy
We should
Please don’t talk to me that way. I’m very happy with my life and don’t need to be told what to do or enjoy.
It adds some flair
Nothing wrong with flair.
when the reader understands the context
Yeah that’s the problem. Not every reader will immediately understand that context, and if they don’t, in this example specifically just for a hypothetical, say because they’re gen-z (too young to get the ref) or autistic (more direct communication is better understood) or something, they may think this is just some place where everyone assumes everyone else is a man or a dude, like reddit.
The history of our language.
Hwæt, hwæt þu ne spræce swā gif þu þearft on gemyndum habban þæs þe ær gewāt?
ETA: Footnotes since y’all are so intent on misunderstanding:
- More specifically, I didn’t say that they should change the comment, or use any language that can (IMO) be reasonably interpreted as trying to “enforce” anything. My intention is as stated: a gentle reminder of what makes the community feel cohesive and inclusive to me and I’m certain there are others who feel the same way.
This feels intentionally (and unnecessarily) disrespectful after I just made it clear I do not think that type of language is inclusive to everyone.
Congrats, you got the point of why they did it! They don’t care that you think it isn’t inclusive because you don’t dictate what is and isn’t inclusive. Male pronouns being used as gender-neutral ones is very old, and you sound exactly like the weirdos who can’t handle “they” as a pronoun for a person
Again: you don’t get to enforce conformity my guy
Again: you don’t get to enforce conformity my guy
Again: please show me where I said anything that even suggests that. My language was as respectful as possible and most folks who are not assholes wouldn’t take issue with it. Y’all are actually trying to tell me that I don’t get to say what feels inclusive to me, and that’s literally trying to enforce conformity, my guy.
With the rise of authoritarianism, I feel like this is the exact kind of behavior that pushed enough people to the far right to get trump elected.
Did you ever stop and wonder if you put these tireless crusades down perhaps we wouldn’t all be threatened by our own government right now?
Don’t worry about me friend, I’m looking after my community and my loved ones and myself, but you are right that authoritarianism is the real threat, and the best way to counter that is community organizing, which is what I spend my time doing. Not saying that because I feel the need to tout my accomplishments, I feel I have a very healthy self image. But you do seem confused about where to direct your efforts so just so you know, that’s what I recommend.
Well do focus on the tone when organizing in the community. You should be analyzing your messaging to make sure its effective and reaching the widest amount of people it can.
What you’ve shown me is a fragile ego and an inability to take criticism. As well as a narrow focus on inconsequential formalities that will only alienate the general public. So I beg thee to consider your approach to what ever organizing you are doing and ask yourself if it represents the people you are trying to protect.
Are we going to cancel idioms too because ESL folks will get comically lost without context? Or should we use idioms and explain them or allow google to do such? Are we going to draw the line on broken english which can be easy to misunderstand as well? Just seems like a weird line to draw right now.
Popculture references are always going to be an important part of communication. I enjoyed learning the context of 1960-1970s lingo my parents used. If it’s so important to you, add some polite context about under the comment for people to understand. I believe your OP comment was asking for us to leave the gendered language on reddit, and I don’t think its a fair request to ask people to change how they communicate to conform with what you precieve makes others more comfortable.
LOL. have you tried feddit de/org
it is not the platform that is a problem. it is humans. like in homo sapiens. and it is illegal to go to next level homo sapiens sapiens because it makes the dumb kida know they arw stupid.
