    Is PieFed even anti-communist? I wouldn’t really describe Lemmy.world that way personally.

    I’m assuming the racism claim is also nonsense but just in case I’d be curious to know specifically what that’s about. Just for criticism of the Chinese government?

      They’re conflating anti-authoritarian with anti-communist because it suits their narrative.

        Yeah I assume this is exactly what’s happening.

        After some pointless arguments with tankies recently someone accused me of being anti-communist and they were incredulous when I expressed ambivalence about it. They truly don’t seem to be aware of the existence of non-authoritarian communists, or at least they pretend not to. Hard to imagine how you could exist in a leftist community and not be aware of like ancoms, etc.
