    Nazis were Capitalists, lmao. Either way, this is a leftist platform, so there are going to be leftist memes.

      What I meant is that it’s the same level of propagandizing. Also, this isn’t a ‘leftist platform’. You can’t just claim things. FOSS isn’t inherently leftist.

        In today’s world when the right is fascist and is deepthroating corporations, yes it is leftist.

        It’s not propagandizing to post memes you personally don’t agree with. FOSS is in fact inherently leftist, it rejects both the profit motive and individual ownership of IP.

            the free software movement has always eschewed the term “open source” since it was popularized by Eric Raymond.

            further, Lemmy is developed by the admins of the flagship instance lemmy.ml who are avowed communists.

            if you don’t know what you’re talking about about, you can just keep your mouth shut.

              You should read these posts by the creators of Lemmy

              1. https://lemmy.ml/post/70280

              2. https://lemmy.eus/post/5460

              First points out that lemmy.ml is not the flagship. Second goes through that lemmy was not intended to be left, but was intended to just not be US focused. I am okay with that but if the suggestion is that Lemmy needs to maintain leftist ideologies throughout the FOSS communities then that’s just wrong. If I get proven wrong and you can prove that these communities need to be leftist anti capitalist then I would be happy to close my Lemmy account asap.

                whether they like it or not, they are the flagship: the lead developer is the admin. if they decide they need a feature, then it will be implemented and everyone else will get that feature, too. no other instance has such a short lead between their feature implementation and everyone else’.

                    they explicitly state what they think “flagship instance” was being used to mean 3 years ago. i clearly used it with a different definition. your link is worse than irrelevant: an argument that relies on it falls prey to a logical fallacy called equivocation.

                i wouldn’t say that. i don’t think anyone did say that. but if you’re going to whine about leftist content in those communities, i don’t think you’re going to find much sympathy, and i don’t think you really deserve any, either.
