Nah. Lemmy is a software. Reddit is an entity. They could try to ban specific Lemmy servers. They've tried to go after torrent tracker sites with little to no success. This wouldn't be any different.
I think it's illuminating and hilarious that they're actually going through with this though. I've long made the statement that capitalists and Leninist are kissing cousins on all the worst possible fronts. And here's another data point.
Lol wut? I don't think you know what "leninist" means.
There's what they claim to be and what they are. What they claim to be, is a transitional centralized system of government aimed at jump starting communism. What they are is that without a mechanism or plan to transition. Ending up in EVERY SINGLE GROUP that has tried devolving into an authoritarian suppressive system. Benefitting largely those at the top.
The Party heads in Moscow benefited far more than the average citizen of the Soviet Union. Nearly every modern Russian oligarch has a direct line that can be drawn back to former party leadership. Xi Jinping does not live in government block housing like a regular citizen. Nor do any of the families of top party members. And should a Chinese citizen complain. They will be brutally ostracized and excluded from society at best. Jailed for life or slaughtered if they're not so lucky. Capitalists salivate about being able to do that with impunity. They still do it. Just not with impunity yet.
