I made two posts on !anime@lemmy.ml, neither are visible on both instances lemmy.ml are recommending.

beehaw.org has already become a much bigger instance and they ban lemmygrad, we’re already invisible to half the people using lemmy.

It will keep getting worse, at some point you’ll need to maintain two separate instance accounts and you’ll consider dropping one of them.

      Damn imagine. They really should be paying us tbh, we do some good work lmao. But yeah, to be serious, it always seems wild that China would actively be paying people to do this shit, like have they considered that we actually are just ideologically kind of aligned with the CPC? Much more easy conclusion to come to imo, Occam’s Razor and all that.

        When one’s own income depends on closing one’s eyes to capitalist brutality, it becomes easier to assume that one’s ideological enemies are doing the same thing: ignoring atrocities for a pay cheque.

    If “lemmy is developed by socialists/communists/leftists” is enough for folks to steer clear of it (or move over to kbin, as I’ve seen at least one radlib insist that folks do rather than lemmy), then… “task failed successfully” in my eyes. No real loss.

      It didn’t used to be so liberal though right? It seems to me with the flood of people from reddit it flipped overnight into almost the exact same liberal groupthink as reddit had.

        • My conjecture based on disagreements I’ve had with them, their goal is to draw in libs so that the marxists actually have people to educate. Without them it kinda became an echo chamber.

          • lmao how are marxists going to educate them if they’re people are gonna block marxist instances and ban (or outright block) marxist users for being “tankies”?

            most already go “LALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU” if you as much as try to debunk them on lies about the russo-ukrainian war, about china, about dprk anyway; and find marxist solutions to be “too radical”.

              The ones who block or ban us probably aren’t reachable. We can concentrate on constructive discussions with the ones who are interested in evidence.
