Just blocked lemmy.ml from my Lemmy account, and I swear to god it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done on this platform. My homepage feels actually clean now.

For the past few months I’d been seeing a lot of tankie posting and pretty much far-left propaganda on my feed. It got tiring enough that I finally checked my blocked-user list, and realized pretty much everyone I’d blocked was from lemmy.ml. So I just blocked the whole instance instead.

Saying this as someone who considers themselves a leftist: I used to think Lemmy itself was an echo chamber. Turns out lemmy.ml was the problem the entire time. Probably the reason I tolerated it for so long is that I agreed with a lot of what they posted, but like an oversaturated meme, I’d had enough. Browsing the platform was starting to feel way too tiring instead of fun, which defeats the point of being here in the first place.

The breaking point was seeing some dude post a “meme” implying North Korea and China are basically communist utopias and that the West sucks. I mean, the West does suck, but come on - you’re saying North Korea is the ideal the West should strive for? What the hell…

    You missed the part about where he said it was one of the greatest countries on earth? What is a utopia? A utopia is an imagined community or society that possesses highly desirable or near-perfect qualities for its residents

    Would being “one of the best countries on earth” not be saying its utopia like. Sure they didn’t say the exact phrase utopia they did say that North Korea is one of the best countries in the world though.

    Is that dishonest? Or are you just not capable of understanding things you don’t like?

    You’re an idiot who is incapable of admitting when they are wrong. And this is how all of you are over there.

    Also I don’t use reddit and haven’t in over 8 years.

      So no, he didn’t call it a utopia, you’re just trying to torture the definitions of words to retroactively justify your objective lie.

      I’m capable of not lying about things I don’t like

      You’re an idiot who is incapable of admitting when they are wrong. And this is how all of you are over there.

      Then you should probably stop talking like a caricature of an insufferable Reddit loser.
