    This is lemmy. You cannot talk to people with any sort of friendliness or familiarity because tankies don’t understand such things and it confuses and enrages them. You cannot use colloquial words or phrases because tankies are too stupid to look them up, let alone understand them. And god help you if you call out any bullshit propaganda. The best thing to do here is to just read the posts because if you try to interact like a normal person, you will get removed/banned/blocked/ignored. They don’t want to admit it, but this place is as bad as reddit—worse in some ways—just without the shareholders enshittifying use and access.

      I’m on programming.dev and haven’t had any issue with “communist propaganda”… What communities are you referring to?

        Propaganda is not just blatant, in-your-face, “fight the red menace” kinda shit. It also includes things like altering speech and thought through subtle means. The tone on lemmy as a whole differs greatly to that of pretty much anywhere else on the internet, and not in a good way.
