I haven’t checked Lemmy for a long time but I wanna get off Reddit again, yet I still need to know how many users are on here. Which lemmy instances are suitable to me, the most popular, and which ones to avoid? For context, im queer, anarchist with DemSoc leaning, and environmentalist. Is there a comprehensive list of all the instances and their main functions? Is the instance I’m on still workable? Any feedback would help, thx. <3
none. join a piefed instance instead.
is there an introduction to piefed instances anywhere? what happened to lemmy that caused ppl to migrate to piefed?
We didn’t want to be lending any form of support to developers who deny genocide and promote transphobia.
So we found a more ethical solution and than it turns out the developers are fucking amazing and it’s progressing so fast that it’s leaving Lemmy in the dust. Many people are now moving because it’s offering features and improvements that the Lemmy devs refused to.
Thanks for the explanation.
Now I know to stick with lemmy.
Accusations of genocide denial isn’t the cheat code you think it is, or do you not deny the genocide of white South Africans? And what say you to this one? Previously.
And if accusations of promoting transphobia held any water, blahaj & hexbear would have already defederated from us.
More countries doing a genocide is not an argument against another one doing it
Woosh
No, I don’t think so
@SkaveRat you show how much you don’t know shit.
Whites are not genocided in South Africa, you naive boy.
This is a alt right claim, much like “the great replacement” and other MAGA, extreme right shit.
@fediverse @davel
Sure. But denying a happening genocide can be as right wing as claiming a fake one
Just because nazis use the same words, doesn’t invalidate all cases where these words are used
Q.E.D.

Yes, I know that’s all you’ve got as far as lemmy.ml promoting transphobia goes.
You are making this about Lemmy.ml to change the subject from this being about the Lemmy devs themselves. You like to deflect a lot I’ve noticed.
Don’t argue with idiots. It’s never worth it.
For which you have precisely the same “evidence,” no more, no less.
I keep telling you .ml chuds — stop talking when your masters aren’t in the room. Cowbee isn’t here to argue or moderate for you, go back to your pen.
https://join.piefed.social/try/ has a list. There just arn’t that many yet but https://anarchist.nexus/ is a solid choice.
the hard-line social democrats all started migrating because communists upset them. I’m an anarchist and don’t mind it so I’m still here
Nah, you’re a tankie.
You can easily find Anarchists on PieFed either on Quokk.au or Anarchist.Nexus though for anyone who wants to join us.
Why is that supposed to be an insult, I know nothing of tankie But was called one a couple days ago
Tankies are people who supported the use of tanks to attack the civilian protests against the USSR in Hungary and later Czechoslovakia. That became the default term for anyone who supports brutal authoritarian states that suppress the people to assert their control. In modern day context a tankie would be someone who blames Ukraine for being invaded and denies the genocide of the Uyghurs.
Some rightwing/centrists like to use it to insult any leftist. You can just ignore those ones.
I appreciate you for taking the time to explain this to me, mostly sounds like a term people used to other other people
It’s more of a term to point out that someone is the left equivalent of a Neo Nazi.
There is no left equivalent, and horseshoe theory is horseshit.
Imperialist Propaganda and the Ideology of the Western Left Intelligentsia: From Anticommunism and Identity Politics to Democratic Illusions and Fascism
Pretty much it’s a thought-terminating othering. To label someone a tankie is to give license for prejudicially dismissing them.
I agree 100%, also it reminded me of This Clanker
I wouldn’t call fascists or CIA- & bourgeois-backed counterrevolutionaries “civilians.”
No one buys your tankie gibberish!
I said it before (in this thread) and I will say it again:
You never had any friends from Hungary or Czesh Republic, you’ve never been there.
The USSR was total trash. Abject poverty, genocidal extermination of the cultrue and language of occupied nations, KGB goons in universities and a corrupt leadership that makes the current oligarch/criminal look like good guys. You’ve likely never met anyone who lived in the USSR.
Thank you for proving my point!
you sound like you have an axe to grind. if you’re going to call people nazis for not supporting ukraine I’m going to point out that there’s plenty of Nazis that do support ukraine. I include in that list the instance run by a transphobe (sh.itjust.works) where they have a comm run by a bunch of “social democrats” and freely discuss all the ‘degenerate roaches’, which they can’t wait to be free from.
I don’t support ukraine, I don’t support russia, I oppose the war entirely and want people (yes even you) to no longer get sent to the front to die in an inter-capitalist conflict.
I have been to the Czechia, actually. I spent a week in Prague in the early 2000s.
American and Soviet citizens eat about the same amount of food each day but the Soviet diet may be more nutritious.
When the Soviet Union started paying pensions in the early years of Josef Stalin’s rule, the retirement age was set at 60 for men and 55 for women. It has not been raised since.
If the USSR exterminated the cultures and languages of “occupied” nations, then why are those cultures still speaking Armenian, Azerbaijani, Belarusian, Estonian, Georgian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Latvian, Lithuanian, Moldavian, Tajik, Turkmen, Ukrainian, and Uzbek?
I have known some, and I know a few right here on Lemmy.
name calling is pretty rude, believe it or not it’s possible to be an anarchist and not use one of your instances. for me I find plenty of other anarchists in my day to day organizing, separate from the internet
oh, noted
That’s partially true, but not all true at all. Piefed development is way faster currently than Lemmy.
Personally, communists don’t bother me. Transphobic developers, however, don’t make me want to use their software.
Were they hard-line demsocs, or were they really just “progressive” liberals?
I’m probably being too generous, but they do tend to identify as that
The bots are talking to themselves, oh no

Did you think that this was a gotcha?
I’m going to give myself time to look through your comments on my flight. It will be amusing watching the so called “anarchist” swiftly devolve into an authoritarian.
You cultists sure do love your buzzwords.
How many times do you think you’ve said death to America, by the way? I’ll have a count for you by the end of my flight.
Edit: ooh the direct quote of the day
Yeah. I’m sure this gets worse, and I haven’t even spent longer than 30 seconds looking. You should probably keep the fact that you’re ‘trans’ to yourself, if Lemmy were a bigger platform you would 100% be painting the picture of the ‘mentally ill trans person’ rhetoric the conservatives are pushing. You are literally problematic in your existence.
I’ve literally organized with other anarchists irl for years. why don’t you call me a troglodyte some more
death to America btw
