I’ve seen several references to some sort of rift between the users of these instances today. What’s happening?
Actual communists here are on Threadiverse seem quite emotionally capable and are among the more pleasant to chat with. Examples there include slrpnk.net. I used to also say db0 though there always seems pushback nowadays whenever I include it, but I can’t get anyone to give me a solid answer as to why besides unsubstantiated accusations that even on their face looks like pure BS to me. So I guess I’ll keep saying it, just noting that it is a controversial point.:-)
Hexbears on the other hand are trolls, pure and simple, with zero regard for anything other than “the dunk” process of pwning someone - or rather, appearing to, from their own extremely childish POV.
Lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml then are the leftist MAGAs, believing in alternative facts rather than living in reality. e.g. most claim that they would move to the likes of North Korea in a heartbeat, except, you know… I guess they took an arrow to the knee or some such. 🤪
I am so glad that I can block people from an entire instance. If I could, I would make an exception to the devs Nutomic and Dessalines out of respect for having offered the Lemmy sourcecode as FOSS, but other than that, I have not missed a single interaction with anyone on Lemmy.ml since I have done so, every time I’ve checked to see what I might be missing. They are the most batshit insane comments across the entirety of the Threadiverse, after Hexbear obviously.
I mean, they wouldnt be able to do much if you didnt return cause the DPRK has nukes. But id also guess they’re fairly hesitant about letting Americans immigrate there. I would be. It is okay to have discrimatory border policies against nations that hafe really tried hard to kill you. Plus I would have to bet the average American would be a burden on the state and it’s people, not an asset.
Invalidating you passport isn’t nothing unless you plan to just stay there for the rest of your life, which I think the DPRK probably isn’t that interested in.
I do wonder if an American would be useful to them for propaganda purposes, since that has historically been the case and we of course see the inverse
It wouldn’t work ans it would cost a lit to keep an American as a pet. They would need a source of Funko Pops and Wendy’s burgers
Their passport is only invalidated if they’re not a fed. Also, probably a lot of missionaries would abuse this.
There’s that Spanish guy who defected in the documentary “the propaganda game”
