    From what I can tell, around 99% of the time people use the word communism, they don’t really know what it means. You seem to know there is a difference between communism and fascism, so, maybe you do.

    But, to suggest half is communist, and the other fascist. Is kinda silly. Silly to such an extent that “proving you wrong” is likely to be a futile and unpleasant endeavour. You do you.

      There are literally two massive instances lemmy.world had to defederate from, and one is fascist and one is full of communists and tankies.

      I wasn’t even counting the communists all over this instance.

        That’s… that wasn’t what you said. You said

        “Bro half of the fediverse is loaded up with communists and fascists, respectively.”

        Which is read as “half of the fediverse is loaded up with communists, the other half fascists”. Now, I don’t know what instances you are talking about, since I’m on lemmy.world, and I have not encountered anything to the effect you are suggesting. Lemmy.world is 129k/391k, the next two largest are lemmy.ml with 46k/391k, then hexbear with fewer. So, yeah… are lemmy.ml communists, or fascists?

        If your point was to comment to someone on lemmy.world who said (paraphrasing) “Russians are dumb for getting enough information that it is cowardly to still support the war”, saying that well, half of the fediverse is communist and half is fascist. Which, first of all, communism isn’t necessarily dumb. Americans think it is, but they don’t know what it is, so who gives a shit. But, to what you where saying, and “Tell me I’m wrong”. Well, I don’t know. You seem to be intelligent enough to figure out which part of the stuff you said is incorrect.

        I’ve bitten the bullet enough to explain this to you, and, I’m not keen on being patient with the deliberate obtuse or those who argue in bad faith.

        EDIT: I took a look at hexbear, and that seems very fascist indeed. But, it’s still just 10%. I’ll admit that’s significantly higher than what I thought made sense. The contents exceptionally dumb.
