The tradition of gift giving at Yule predates capitalism and even Christ. So while it’s capitalist today, the tradition can be celebrated in a non capitalist way by giving your loved ones handmade spears and axes.

Sure. But a few republican voters might get the message. Republicans were historically the hawkish party, it must be difficult to square the circle that they are now basically the party supporting today’s Hitler.

It is a good talking point against Republicans though.

Nice. The legs make great toothpicks.

Hopefully he never comes back but Europe takes his threat seriously.

So far, not a major issue as spam and bots are about 1000x less prominent here, so there’s not much to do. I will try to recruit mods as things progress.

Not quite what I need, but better than nothing, thanks.

16 year user of reddit here, just create the communities you miss. With the massive influx of users, they will fill up quickly. It only took 1 day after I created lemmy.world/c/psvr for people to start posting content there. It feels to me like it will only take a few weeks before we can have some semblance of parity to reddit content. And it feels much more like pre-digg migration reddit to me, which is very much a good thing. I think the golden years for lemmy will be coming quite soon.

The main thing I miss is being able to have things disappear from my front page after I press like or dislike on them.

It’s not a pejorative word for any Stalinist. It’s a pejorative word for a specific type of Stalinist, ie, one that will back any oppressive regime that espouses itself to be Stalinist.

Tankie is a pejorative label for communists, particularly Stalinists, who support the authoritarian tendencies of Marxism–Leninism or, more generally, authoritarian states associated with Marxism–Leninism in history. The term was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions. The term is also used to describe people who endorse, defend, or deny the crimes committed by communist leaders such as Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, and Kim il-Sung.
