I'm aware that people are slowly grouping up to one specific community per topic but I don't think this means there isn't an issue with communities being fractured. Using a third party tool to gauge which communities are popular also isn't a great solution. Just searching Linux shows:

I don't think each one of these communities has a different audience. It's the same audience, but there isn't an obvious answer for which one to visit or post in.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

So bizarre.
