I agree wholeheartedly, Lemmys userbase seems to be heavily weighted to certain demographics and especially on certain topics to the point where sometimes Id like to join in on the discussion but I take a moment and think "Do I want to argue with communists today?"
Yeah, it’s a really ugly side of the website imo. Like, I’m sympathetic to a lot of communist ideals! But the “communism” people preach here is often variations of people looking for every opportunity to call you a fascist because you said maybe computer programmers aren’t the most oppressed demographic in the world.
It’s kind of a shame, because these same people will turn around and say “why can’t socialism get off the ground?” And it’s basically entirely their fault
