    And here I guess I am just too milquetoast to make the cut. My takes are too tepid, my edge too dulled. Am I even trying?

    Out of the loop, what is Tesseract?

    EDIT: Apparently its a UI for Lemmy that decided to start hiding leftist posts secretly because the dev is a lib

    I feel like I’m missing a key piece of information here. Wtf is “tesseract” in this context?

    UPDATE: never mind. Other posts were more detailed. Apparently it’s a Lemmy instance/front end? And the owner(s) compiled a huge block list by usernames.

    I still don’t know why it matters, what’s so special about tesseract.

    Also yuri.

    They specifically blocked Wholsome Yuri.

    And violet08.

    Because I guess sexcapades are a bannable offense?

    Yeah those are two oddballs that I’ve noticed so far.

      Well, lemmy.world is what remains.

      …may I strongly encourage you to join a different instance?

          Let me start by saying this is is just an observation, not directed specifically at you.

          But, this is the issue with left vs right politics. It’s not that you’re not “left enough” it’s that you’re practically on different planets arguing which way is West. Both of you orient towards north, and then walk to the left, but you’re never going to meet up. And that’s because you’re not even on the same planet. Your foundations for what basic human rights are is fundamentally different.

          A capitalist will say “everyone deserves the house they can afford”, while a communist will say “everyone deserves a house.”

          .world from my observation has been very capitalist, and yeah, that tracks considering it’s kinda like the “reddit instance” its comfortable for a lot of people. But I personally would never join as a member, for as many issues as .ml and dbzer0 have, I prefer to broaden my viewpoints than to keep seeing the same capitalist viewpoints repeated over and over again.

          Lemmy.world’s mod/admin team has a very well documented history of being heavily biased in the direction of genocidal Zionists, blatant double standards when it comes to things like ICE (illegal state sponsored terrorism) vs non state sponsored terrorism.

          And they’re just needlessly petty.

          Literally Stamets used to be part of that team, discovered the extent of that bullshit personally… an LW mod had a hissy fit over Canadian terminology and government procedure… and decided to start ban hammering people over it.

          Stamets is Canadian, the other mod is not… and Stam tried to explain to that mod that they were mistaken, confused.

          They instead doubled down, it blew up into a similar popcorn level event… Stamets left LW, and now he is on this stealth block list.

          The LW team have no problem being duplicitous and covert in enforcement over their little fiefdoms, and the defense of their own egos.

          Again, I implore you to leave.

          Also, no, the actual people that run LW? They’re liberals, neoliberals. Liberalism is not leftism. Go do some first year Poli Sci reading if you need an explanation, I’m tired.

            I think OP understands there is space to the left of US democrats, and the discourse tends to be “Kinda left” by commonly understood definition.

            Also some of us enjoy a lot of non-political content, and World is fine for that.

              I don’t. I don’t think they know that.

              I don’t think you do either.

              Leftism can be cleanly seperated from Liberalism in this way:

              Leftists want to abolish capitalism, change it so much that it’s not capitalism any more.

              Liberals think capitalism is… a good person, but just, misunderstood.

              Also, if I just told you that the LW admin/mod team is… consistently defending genociders, and state sponsored terrorism?

              And you say… well I am apolitical, so that’s fine?

              You are not apolitical, you are in fact explcitly fine with those horrible things, you are saying they don’t bother you that much.

              … there are plenty of non political communities and discussion on… all of the banned instances, many others too.

              But no, no, you’re fine with the genocide supporting one.

              Ok then.

          lemmy.world is more left than the Tankie Triad but it’s still funding them so I say leave the entirety of Lemmy behind and go piefed.

              Here is a LINK to a long list of citations of extremism, imperialism, and promotion of war, genocide, and violence by the head Lemmy developers and owners of Lemmy ML. People who host Lemmy have the moral responsibility to vet every update and remove all links to donate to Lemmy development or they’re complicit in these crimes.

              Until something irredeemably bad comes out about the Piefed devs, they’re infinitely better.

      Tankies would be there, but actually Tankies maintain lemmy to begin with… That’s why I use piefed.
