lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad users verbally fellate contemporary and historical autocratic mass-murderers they deem to be “leftists”, or "great leaders and allies to the cause", most recently being Vladimir Putin, Xi Jingping, and Kim Jong Un.

They are, in reality, bitch-made invertebrates who don’t even have the arm-strength to lift their Molotov-sippy-cups out of their premium-outdoor-brand backpacks, let alone form meaningful opinions on economics, political philosophy, or geopolitical reality.

Damn it all. They didn't disclose how I was supposed to behave during the sign up process.

The downside of anything decentralized is that only community pressure reduces scams.

Yeah it's a big trick because the ML owners are Tankie scum but they're also the lead developers and I think the own the page which recommends instances.

JFC son this is not a roast this is a fucking napalm strike, god damn.

So, tankies? At first I got attracted by the leftist/communist/socialist branding of the instance, but at the time the concept of fediverse was too complex for me when I first registered there so I deleted my account. I'm glad I did, then lol, supporting Putin, Xi, Kim just because they are "the left" is like supporting Hitler just because he is "the right".

New user checking in, did you use the two asterisks or the pound sign?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Pound, check out Markdown syntax somewhere online. There's a ton of different flavors, but most of the basics (headings/bold/italics/links/etc) are the same.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The asterisks work for italicized characters, but the c-squared(pound) sign didn't. Maybe cause we're on different instances?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did you put a space between the pound and your text?

# should look like this

Thank you! I'm still used to Reddit markdown.
