In other thread I got vibe that majority of Lemmy users support communism and CCP. Is support for Russia/Putin? Or have I just stumble in a post dominated by those people.

I also read a phrase “lemmy.ml” user. Is lemmy.ml instance considered communist?

I understand there will be more left leaning users in Lemmy compared to Reddit. But I expected moderate left and not radical communist left.

What is your opinion on that?

    There’s definitely a lot more radical ideas here than usual, but outside of lemmy.ml/lemmygrad and hexbear you will generally find a mix of normal people with progressive policies instead of CCP supporters.

      A mod on Lemmy.ml likes deleting my comments because I said people have suffered under communism. His mod log response was a broke a fake news rule because there is literally no evidence of anyone suffering under communism. I’m working on my masters in history and just wrote a paper about Sergei Korolev….

        I don’t know my history or my communism, but generally the defence I see is it’s “not real communism” and thus does not count. Can’t say I know enough about either topic to make a stand myself though.
