Yep! Lemmy is primarily developed by Marxist-Leninists, and is generally structured in opposition to Capitalist networks. It allows Communists to form our own spaces without corporate censorship.

Which is why it's a big irony when people come to Lemmy to complain about communism/socialism.

Like, man, you are on a decentralized network run by volunteers who don't want to be monetized. You want to enjoy the benefits of socialism but at the same time complain about how bad it is and promote capitalism.

Yep, but that's just how it is, and why I focus on outreach all the same.

You're fucking incredible, Cowbee. I've watched you spend literally days patiently and politely responding to dozens of confrontational, probably bad-faith posters in thread after thread with nothing but solid information. I really admire it.

Thanks, I really do appreciate it! At the end of the day, I try to only speak on what I know, so that helps me not get frustrated if someone comes in in clearly bad-faith, haha.

just wanna second what @moonmelon@lemmy.ml said. you're awesome.

i'd say "keep up the good work" but like you deserve a break.

Thanks for the kind words, and don't worry! I do take frequent breaks, that's why I made a Hexbear alt in the first place, haha.
