Try to ignore a lot of the outright haters here who have nothing of critical value to add. We will dunk on each other mercilessly for a mistake in theory. Communist or liberal; the criticism never ends. That is a good thing, in my opinion. It prevents complacency and backwardness.

We also have a tendency to get people who are far, far less open-minded than you to spout insults and propaganda at us; believing we are the most evil thing on the entire fediverse. Hexbear.net is a great place on Lemmy to get a better understanding of the culture.

Lemmygrad is where the theory-heads and devout MLs tend to go, all though all is welcome.

We are a anti-imperialist and communist community. We critically support Iran and Russia while giving our full support to China and the CPC.

What are some Ls? Western propaganda about how you can still only have one daughter but at the same time have the largest population in the world? Western propaganda about a genocide that never happened? Or the western propaganda about how Taiwan is a glorious, liberty-loving island nation that we have no imperialist ambitions over and have ties to the KMT?

I like the Ws more. 15,000+ miles of rail connecting the entirety of the country. Rapidly developing semiconductor industry that's getting ready to out-compete Nvidia, AMD and Intel. Elimination of abject poverty that we see in the United States and U.K and far more public infrastructure being built than the G5 combined. Of course, this as well with China also developing plans for a melt-down proof pebble bed reactor.

I totally agree. The shitty thing is that they did it only to make kids want it again and drive home a political point and then reinstated it.

Straight up political influencing on kids.

It's not that simple, but the crux of it is that it's a type of gambling. You get given a huge community catering to different interests with relative anonymity at a young age. The institutions and programs of this community constantly demand their own scrip and offers that scrip via paid membership per month as well as benefits in the community. You play games that can offer more of that scrip; while sinking your scrip deeper into those games that give diminishing returns. (Sometimes you get lucky or others are generous) It's no different than any brutally predatory pay2win game except it has a sort of Second Life twist to it in the case of Roblox.

Friendships are harder and harder for the young. Those disenfranchised seek easy companionships in these online communities. A perfect ground for predators of all sorts; including the Roblox team itself at certain points.

Ah, they use political propaganda too. One of the most popular games incited a "bias" (best way to say that as manufacturing consent doesn't particularly fit) in one of their most popular games by removing all pay to win features and currency as well as related options and gave everyone equal payments in "worthless currency" and called it socialism.

The game is Bloxburg, I believe. They released popular character items (or sponsored, can't remember) with "We want anti-communism". Reminder that they are imprinting this on young children and have levers/mechanisms in public schools.
