They run lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, they claim to be Marxist-Leninist and communist, they have profile pictures of both Mao and Fidel Castro respectively. They seem like generally reasonable people on a personal level but they do a lot of apologism of awful regimes under the typical guise of “just asking questions” and “free speech” and frankly I have no patience left for that kind of garbage.
As long as we’re throwing fediverse wishlist items out there, I wish the Lemmy core developers/founders didn’t have such gross political views.
Yeah
Which are? A link to a story or something will suffice.

Is it a fact that they run lemmygrad also? I thought it was just some truly crazy people in there. That is indeed pretty bad.
Yes, it was the second lemmy instance created, and their own wiki says it was created by Dessalines and he is active there.
Thank you. I almost donated, bullet dodged.
You can look into mbin. I prefer it to lemmy, personally.
