I got banned from reddit (honestly feel a lot better without it)

But I miss being able to answer stupid questions and relationship questions.

Lemmy is great, but why aren't there that many people on here? I don't get it.

An I using my filters wrong or something?

Lemmygrad gets "hate" because we're one of the most active instances and liberals cannot stand that communists are not only allowed to talk about communism, but that they actually get attention and activity. Deal with it.

Maybe that's why you hate it but my annoyance is more at people who reflexively feel they win every argument by calling the other person a liberal because they don't believe that the CCP is a corruption-free bastion of good will and a perfect example for the world to follow.

You can be a communist and still legitimately criticize the CCP though you wouldn't know it from the 4 people posting all the articles and leading every discussion at Lemmygrad

Ehh... I just realized I don't care. I was thinking about how sad it is that people post so prolifically and emphatically to the same 15 people while believing that they're making a difference and fighting the good fight. Then I realized that arguing with them is equally as pointless. I mean this is the biggest thread I've ever seen on Lemmy and it's about why it's so unsuccessful. If people want to have a tiny club where they dictate their specific flavor of communism and call everyone else is a liberal, go for it. I'd call it an echo chamber but it's too small - echoes need some space to generate. Lemmygrad is tiny little groups of people congratulating each other on believing the exact same thing and being obnoxiously insufferable to anyone whose opinions only match 98%. You're cosplay revolutionaries. You change nothing and inspire no one but you sure feel like badasses while regurgitating the same lines to each other.

I'm out

You don't even know the actual name of the CPC and yet you have a strong opinion on it. Banger. Spoken like a true lib.

Also love that you call us not even fit to be an echo chamber yet we are as big and active as lemmy.ml, your instance. Your anticommunism is showing.

Make sure to slam the door on your way out otherwise people might not notice your little tantrum ๐Ÿ˜Š

I wish you wouldn't leave and I wish you would care more. If you did care more you'd know that CCP is not their name and no one thinks CPC is free from corruption and they themselves know that corruption is a huge issue.
