What exactly were you expecting when you shifted to the Reddit alternative whose main developers were communist? You're either clueless or a bot.

In their defence why would you expect them to know about the political stance of the devs?

Honestly, I think they're a troll account. In general Lemmy took a bit more effort for me personally to sign up to vs Reddit, I had to figure out an instance and roughly how it worked before signing up and the political stance of the devs came up. I mostly assumed most people went through a similar process.

If you read my comment, I said I'm new here. That is my first ever comment here. How was I supposed to know that the website was being ran by tankies? I've jumped from the frying pan into the fire. I can't escape far leftists. And they want to put a communist and a known warmonger in office. We're so cooked.

Lmao if Kamala was a communist more people on Lemmy.ml would've voted for her.

Evidently clueless in more way than one. No worries botski

Asking as a non US citizen: why do you believe Trump is better than Kamala? Just objectively curious.

It's not Trump that I believe in. It's RFK Jr. But since RFK Jr joined forces with Trump, a vote for Trump is a vote for RFK Jr. Any genuine RFK Jr supporter knows that.

First, A lot of the far-left authoritarian users are in other instances, like lemmy.ml. Those communities are easy to avoid and users from there easily identified.

Second, I can only guess you're talking about Harris when speaking "a communist and a known war monger". Speaking as a former libertarian Republican (who left the party when Trump took over), Harris isn't communist or far left. That's 100% right-wing propaganda. America's Democratic party is pretty conservative compared to liberal and leftist parties in Europe and isn't that much to the left of the pre-Trump Republican party.

As for the known warmonger, I have no idea what you're talking about.

How was I supposed to know that the website was being ran by tankies?

Um, tankies? I don't think that means what you think it means.

A tankie is another name for a communist.

That's simply not true, but by happenstance the particular communists in question are tankies.
