Yeah, it’s not a fair comparison. You can say it’s a dumb ideology but at the end of the day it’s close cousins with big-L Liberalism, and often has been first to the social ideas we hold dear today.
They got banned because lemmy.ml is also a communist-run instance. The mods could have taken the high road and just replied, I guess, but that would have been extraordinary patience on their part. So, they banned the person calling them a Nazi, and I don’t think that was an unreasonable choice on their part.
It’s not working well, if so. Lemmy’s still pretty left-wing relative to the overall population, and my comments defending communism as not evil are upvoted.

Here on lemmy there is an active campaign to stir up fervor against communism. It’s an age old right wing tatic.

Yet, still they carry on.
