“Could be the ratchet effect. Lemmygrad and Hexbear are both explicitly Marxist-Leninist, but .ml is explicitly FOSS and Privacy based, just with Marxist-Leninist admins.”

This was back when I tried to get PugJesus to try to understand how deeply unserious they were, and generally tried to appear less threatening to liberals to hopefully lead some to question liberalism or even read theory

(Spoiler: it didn’t work)

Specifically, it was in reference to Lemmy.world becoming more and more right-wing as the target boogeyman shifts from more overt to less overt leftism, especially since ml removed leftist from its description.

Kinda funny seeing it up there now that I’ve made a Hexbear account

    Basically the Jeff Tiedrich of Lemmy. Insufferable liberalism.

    Fun fact: dig through the linked thread if you can, and PugJesus even claims to have read Lenin, yet in other threads can’t help themselves from denouncing even the Black Panthers for being ML.
