Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

We're getting a bit off topic from the original question, but I'll chime in b/c why not.
Technically, neither China nor the USSR were communist states. They were/are socialist states run the by the communist party. Neither were able to get rid of capitalism. China has taken an approach of "socialism with Chinese characteristics" for their "implementation".
China is still "socialist" in a sense because socialism is a pretty broad spectrum. They've kept capitalism along side socialism, but try to keep capitalism beholden to the state.
People talk well about China b/c the economic policies have arguably worked quite well given where they've come from. That doesn't mean you have to agree or support some of their ...worse... policies. It's a mixed bag. But so is the west.
As of now, China is the closest large economy for an existing implementation of socialism. There are other states, but they aren't as large or successful as China.
But yeah, I do agree that the lemmygraders are a bit much. But that's my thoughts on what I've seen since joining and why I think lemmy seems to trend where it does on that topic.
