Id say that the obvious answer is the Linux community with the most members. !linux@lemmy.ml has more than double the number of subscribers of the next most active Linux community.

But then you’re on .ml

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

.ml is okay to discuss Linux, the overlap between the two communities makes sense

[–] Marsupial@quokk.au -2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

The overlap between authoritarians and Linux?

Well I suppose North Korea does run the closed source RedStarOS.

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I meant hardcore leftists

[–] Marsupial@quokk.au 0 points 10 months ago

Oh like me?

Yeah we do overlap with Linux, the tankies however don’t.

[–] bigMouthCommie@kolektiva.social -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

what makes you think they are authoritarian?

[–] Marsupial@quokk.au -4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Because we all know how tankies are, so stop acting coy.

Maybe you should go conquer some bread instead of trying to defend maoists and stalinists.

[–] willya@lemmyf.uk 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why does the this ignorant speech infest so many threads? No one gives a shit and any keyboard warrior crap you’re doing in your free time isn’t going to change anything going on in the world.

[–] Marsupial@quokk.au -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

An opinion based on knowledge can hardly be called ignorant.

But if you’re having a bad day, hopefully that lil outburst helped you release some tension.

[–] willya@lemmyf.uk 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You used a word salad of all the words the most anger ridden posts are filled with. That’s all I was pointing out.

[–] Marsupial@quokk.au 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

What part do you think is a word salad exactly?

Because every part of what I said makes perfect sense.

[–] bigMouthCommie@kolektiva.social -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

no one is defending maoists or stalinists.

[–] Marsupial@quokk.au 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

You’re saying no one on .ml defends maoists and stalinists???

I bet nutomic has Che as their avatar for no reason at all.

parentis_shotgun posts in juche_gang on reddit for irony?

[–] bigMouthCommie@kolektiva.social -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

>You’re saying no one on .ml defends maoists and stalinists???

no, i'm saying no one here is.

and i don't think it's a major theme of there linux community either.

[–] Marsupial@quokk.au 0 points 10 months ago

So why comment when we were talking about what .ml does not what’s happening here?

So bizarre.

[–] stown@sedd.it 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You don't need an account on lemmy.ml to subscribe to any community there. For example, I run my own self-hosted instance and none of the communities I'm subscribed to are from my own instance.

[–] Marsupial@quokk.au 0 points 10 months ago

Oh I meant more that you're interacting with them.

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Sure unless your instance is defederated, we need more ways to control the content without relying on defederation

It makes me feel like I should be making the post to multiple communities, but then I feel like I'm spamming

[–] hulemy@ani.social 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It does kinda suck being defederated from big instances like lemmy.ml because there are big communities there, but at the other end it's nice to have alternatives on different instances. For example, I can't view !programmerhumor@lemmy.ml but I can access !programmer_humor@programming.dev.

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago

The PDev version is better anyway.

I have a few communities that are still on .ml, I forgot you guys were defederated, maybe I should move them elsewhere

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sure unless your instance is defederated, we need more ways to control the content without relying on defederation

Hopefully defederation will happen less and less with 19.X allowing users to block instances themselves

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah I think there needs to be more options though, for admins and for users. Like conditional caching or proxying of images from other instances.

And not just blocking instances but choosing to block all the users from an instance without blocking their communities, or only blocking their comments not their posts. Also admins should be able to set default blocks that all the users get but can change individually

[–] Blaze@discuss.online 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

That would be nice indeed, but with the development rhythm, it might take a while to get there. Sublinks on the other hands seems promising sublinks.org

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And you'll eventually get banned from it for not praising Stalin hard enough

[–] stown@sedd.it 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Spoken like somebody who knows nothing about what they are saying.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Literally spoken as a leftist who has gotten bans for not being a Maoist bootlicker. My accounts with this name across multiple instances are the on a short leash for daring to question ML dogma.

[–] stown@sedd.it 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you don't insert politics into normal conversations and you value relationships more than you value being right (left) then this should not be an issue.

Stay away from the political communities and don't feel like you need to correct people when they spout out political bullshit.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But I want to discuss politics and worldnews. I'm just not allowed, because wrongthink.

[–] stown@sedd.it 1 points 10 months ago

Then keep it in the politics and news communities, and don't be surprised when you are kicked. You don't go protesting at the KKK meeting expecting to change minds just like you don't try to go to !politics@lemmy.ml expecting to change minds. If you are looking for real discussion then don't go to a community that is hostile to the discussion you want to have.
