Lemmy isnt leftist. The group calling itself leftist the most here is at the same time cheering on ultranationalist governments who are in the middle of genocides.
This is a .ml instance. Of course it's going to have pro-authoritian, genocide denying bias.
Domains are regularly chosen because they can form a word or they can be related to the domain name or used as an alternative abriviation.
Everyone knows .ml is malis tld but they also know that it's usage in the context to lemmy is that it always means marxist-leninist.
Just saying.
Says who? I'm all for open source (and even actively contribute), and I do not have a left-leaning political stance. Loving open source does not mean that I want to raise taxes, or that I want gendering to be a thing (theres an issue in languages that dont have a gender-neutral plural).
Why couldnt one be conservative and like free software at the same time?
Thats still leftist, unless you're somehow more left than straight up communism
China and russia arent communist. They are capitalist societies with strong protectionism and a huge imbalance between classes. The government owns all companies but the people don't have any say over the government so it cannot be argued that the means of production are in the hands of the people.
