Hey everyone, I'm new to Lemmy and just starting to figure this site out. I mainly moved here because of the censorship on Reddit where they didn't publish posts that included the slightest word not allowed by their filter and they removed/blocked lots of content. I wonder if it will be somewhat better here (on the official site it says "Censorship resistant - By hosting your own server, you can be in full control of your content.").
The weird thing I saw with Lemmy was when I wanted to sign-up on the "lemmy.ml" server instance that according to the official Lemmy Servers listing page is a "A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers".
So I thought I try that one when it's from Lemmy's own developers. When I wanted to sign-up it required an application that you needed to fill out with one of the requirements being having to copy a sentence from the link provided which links to some article called "The Principles of Communism" which I thought was very odd for a site to do. I've never seen a site like this promoting some ideology that directly where it's part of the sign-up process to almost pledge to some political or religious ideology.
This seemed very sketchy to me. Does anyone know something about this?
sounds like someone's a nazi~
If I am a nazi then the whole planet is. I am from left and hate rich people. I was just expressing my view of how my country is letting people who can't integrate to the society live in. Some people get citizenship when they have extreme views about womens and do not let their works when trying to get them welfare for not working.
I am not against welfare or immigration but the people will let in should benefit the society and not the opposite. If you check Switzerland, Japan, Nordic countries which have good immigration policies, the quality of life is way better. They do still have issues but not related to immigration.
"Can't integrate into society" and then goes and supports Imperialist ethnostates, lmaoooo
You see, you are just insulting and making assumptions. I don't care about ethnicity as long you adhere to the country values. Do not impose your religion in a laic country, it is not OK to disturb people with your music in public just because it is OK in country, do not take transport without paying because it is OK in your country, letting children cry or make noise late in the night isn't OK ,... They are not exaggeration, I am experiencing them. I have had discussion with them and I am immigrant too and those behaviors are OK. I got responses like "it is normal that children make noise at night". We are talking about running and crying for hours after 10PM.
Let it be clear, you took an effectively anti-immigration stance on the basis of cultural differences, then praised Imperialist Ethno-States. Yes, it was correct to ban you.
Where did you see that? Even if it is the case isn't that just censorship which the subject of this post to which I am responding? There were no discussion or anything and ban you from the whole instance (not just the community).
Right there. Anti-immigration on the basis of cultural differences and praise for Imperialist ethno-states.
Secondly, no, racism should be banned and censored to protect marginalized groups. Censorship of racism is a good thing.

mate you're so damn racist you're like a fish who doesn't know what water is.
Yes, I understand from your statements that you have a western-chauvanistic mindset and praise Imperialist ethno-states.
JAQing off about immigration based on religion and ethnicity is not an "I am from left" thing to do.
Yes we all understand what you are actually saying and because of that we are disgusted and telling you to fuck off.
Because you're a fascist who deserves ridicule.
This is not a "leftist" tenet. For someone who 'hates' rich people you sure as fuck think exactly the way they do, piglet.
