  • Well when I started using Lemmy I didn’t actually know what .ml was, I just heard it was the instance run by the Lemmy developers and thought, “ok so this is the main one then”, and joined it. They do make you paste some line from the manifesto or something to join so I did get a hint of what it’s MO is, but that didn’t really turn me off as I’m not necessarily opposed to Communism, at least in theory. I however did not expect the steadfast defense by many on there of the USSR, which operated pretty antithetically to its purported ideals













  • The thing is, we have to be reasonable with our expectations. You or I may remember that Microsoft has always been shady and anti consumer, most people don’t. They remember a time when you bought things and owned them, and it didn’t feel like we were being nickel and dimed quite so hard. We are not going to start an anti Microsoft (or whatever corporation) movement and actually be able to rile the masses to support that cause, but we might at least be able to get them to demand things go back to the quality they were at 30 years ago
