  • Bro I am using Lemmy for the same reason. And honestly here people won’t understand your concerns either

    I was IP banned in reddit for saying that gender neutral laws should be implemented in my country. And here I’m banned in a community for saying communism won’t save my country.

    There is no difference as such between these two platforms. The only good thing about reddit is that it had more relevant subs and users



  • I have started to like Lemmy too. I made an account here because I was IP banned in reddit for expressing my opinion on gender neutral laws in my country

    That’s the worst part of reddit. You can’t say something which go against their ideologies. Although I still want my reddit account back because fediverse isn’t popular in my country and there aren’t much relevant subs for me in here

    Nationalist yeah. But not an extremist for that

    For context-

    If I say I’m a nationalist in India, people would assume I support the current government. But I don’t prefer any political party of india because no one is trying fix the real issues. I just vote for the current govt because the opposition is being handled by restarted guy, Rahul Gandhi to be specific


  • Why do you call communists “commies”?

    The word is mostly used by the GenZ and millennials. They definitely took it from the American slang but usually we use it to refer to the communists of India who are usually liberal extremist and anti nationalist

    I don’t know how accepted it is to use the term in the US but in here people say it in public openly

    Is it a derisive term where you’re from?

    If you mean mocking, then yeah. It is used to mock

    in the south there are states which have communist governments/large communist parties

    The communist part of india (CPM) started from the eastern part of the country, West Bengal to be specific (which was the most progressive state back then), but when the party came to power it destroyed the state. Kolkata which was a cosmopolitan city both before and after the British colonial era, CPM destroyed every part of that city. Be it business, infra, culture, people everything. And again they were anti nationalist
