Nope. That's over at [email protected]. This is the Lemmy version of askMarxists
everything to the left of monarchism = Marxism, apparently
though I'll agree with you that the rabid anticommunism on .world will definitely help Redditors feel at home
Case in point.
I have blocked lemmygrad, but shouldn't a potential [email protected] be the Marxist one?
I have heard that people dislike this instance as it is run by the devs who people claim to be right wing.
You are correct. I was only joking, lemmy.ml is officially a general purpose server and this community is meant for everybody. But nonetheless, lemmy.ml users tend to be very leftist.
I'm confused by the second part, are you referring to lemmy.ml or lemmy.world when you say this instance? If people are claiming that the Lemmy devs are right wing... wow.
They tend to be very Marxist. Letβs be specific.
Since this thread is hosted on lemmy.ml, I meant that.
You won't see this, but... the Lemmy devs are Marxists, not right-wingers. Lemmygrad is definitely Marxist (Leninist). Lemmy.ml is left-wingers of all types.
