i just got permanently banned from reddit because of a comment i posted about jeff bezos (which reddit may have viewed as a 'violent threat') on a subreddit (or i've been posting a bit too fast). the site said "check your inbox", but i DIDN'T see a message. i have some suspicions that i may have been banned for no reason whatsoever - i've just submitted a ban appeal, and i expect a response from them soon.
until then, i'm gonna be posting on this site. NO guarantees that i'll be back on reddit - the day i get unbanned will be the day half-life 3 gets released (that or the day there's peace between ukraine and russia or palestine and israel). seriously!
UPDATE: reddit looked at my appeal and said 'i DON'T know, you still threatened violence, so you're still banned' - reddit should realize that the first amendment (which gives people the freedoms of speech, of press and of religion, and to assemble peacefully and to redress grievances) allows me to say that 'jeff bezos should see a gill o' teen' - i would submit an appeal, but reddit says i have to submit one or two appeals a day, so i guess i'm stuck here now. seriously!

Howdy!!
this particular lemmy instance started because our original subreddit was banned for posting too hard about how John Brown was right. So most people aren’t going to like Reddit to start with.
Crossing my fingers HL3 gets announced soon. Hope to see you around!

Then I think you’ll fit right in!! Lots of action in the pinned threads on our home page. We’ve got a gaming comm (subreddit equivalent if you’re unfamiliar) since it sounds like you’re into that. Oh and if you type a colon and then start typing a word you’ll see our emoji picker. There’s a ton of them

Okay, if you're serious we exist cause of a subreddit that was the nest of leftist activity that made reddit uncomfortable and then when r/thedonald got banned they wanted to show an even hand regsrding fascism and anti fascism so rhey deleted that board for 'promoting violence' with the reason cited being people saying John Brown did nothing wrong. Six years later or so. Here we are. We dont like reddit for thar and because its a den of debatelord liberals and misogynist gamers

bourgeois liberals or proletarian liberals (as in leftists who support liberal democracy, or the values of liberalism (ie: liberal socialism) or both)?
2
TreadOnMe [none/use name] - 2w
The values of liberalism and socialism are incompatible, as they are completely different frameworks of thinking. Anyone who claims to be a 'liberal socialist' understands neither liberalism or socialism.

No. Orwell was a snitch and at best a social fascist pretending towards socialism.

DylanMc6 [any, any] - 2w
is there any reason why you think social democracy is 'social fascism' (because social democracy and democratic socialism are more 'socialism-lite')?
2
TreadOnMe [none/use name] - 2w
If it exists within a bourgeois democracy, it is inherently anti-democratic. If it exists to soothe the class conflict and promote class collaboration and nationalism (but with national profit sharing) as the solution to that problem it is fascist.
They aren't 'socialism-lite' because they simply aren't socialism. They are just imperialists who understand that you have to maintain a labor aristocracy for national stability.

DylanMc6 [any, any] - 2w
would you consider de leonism as an alternative to social democracy?
Animal Farm specifically is a really gross book, though I'm totally not putting anything on you for that. It's something that gets pushed on everyone in the anglophone world and many other places besides.
2
DylanMc6 [any, any] - 2w
can you explain why?
1
purpleworm [none/use name] - 2w
Can you ask a more specific question? The link explains Animal Farm being gross and it was my assumption that the book being pushed heavily in neoliberal education is self-explanatory.

DylanMc6 [any, any] - 2w
is it because of the talking pigs - later in the novel, napoleon becomes very very anthropomorphic
