Lemmy.world's mod/admin team has a very well documented history of being heavily biased in the direction of genocidal Zionists, blatant double standards when it comes to things like ICE (illegal state sponsored terrorism) vs non state sponsored terrorism.
And they're just needlessly petty.
Literally Stamets used to be part of that team, discovered the extent of that bullshit personally... an LW mod had a hissy fit over Canadian terminology and government procedure... and decided to start ban hammering people over it.
Stamets is Canadian, the other mod is not... and Stam tried to explain to that mod that they were mistaken, confused.
They instead doubled down, it blew up into a similar popcorn level event... Stamets left LW, and now he is on this stealth block list.
The LW team have no problem being duplicitous and covert in enforcement over their little fiefdoms, and the defense of their own egos.
Again, I implore you to leave.
Also, no, the actual people that run LW? They're liberals, neoliberals. Liberalism is not leftism. Go do some first year Poli Sci reading if you need an explanation, I'm tired.
I think OP understands there is space to the left of US democrats, and the discourse tends to be “Kinda left” by commonly understood definition.
Also some of us enjoy a lot of non-political content, and World is fine for that.
I don't. I don't think they know that.
I don't think you do either.
Leftism can be cleanly seperated from Liberalism in this way:
Leftists want to abolish capitalism, change it so much that it's not capitalism any more.
Liberals think capitalism is... a good person, but just, misunderstood.
Also, if I just told you that the LW admin/mod team is... consistently defending genociders, and state sponsored terrorism?
And you say... well I am apolitical, so that's fine?
You are not apolitical, you are in fact explcitly fine with those horrible things, you are saying they don't bother you that much.
... there are plenty of non political communities and discussion on... all of the banned instances, many others too.
But no, no, you're fine with the genocide supporting one.
Ok then.
Thats an incredibly American summary for a global platform
not all leftists oppose capitalism tho
many further left ones (such as myself) do, but some milder leftists dont (many socialists and center-leftists)
The person you're talking to operates on a different definition of leftists that explicitly requires them to be anticapitalist. Given how common that phenomenon is, and how we can't ever seem to agree on any other points, I propose a new definition of Leftist:
A leftist is someone who argues about what is and isn't leftist.
The implication of that definition, of course, is that the right wing talking heads calling every form of human decency "communism" are also leftists.
(Actually, do dbzer0 users even see this comment? They defederated us because our admins also failed their purity test. No animosity from my side, for whatever that's worth.)
