.world is basically Reddit 2, but filled with the most radical liberals that specifically want to not be exposed to leftist instances, even db0 has a tenuous relation with them.

.world is constantly on anticommunist witch hunts, and now that Lemmygrad and Hexbear are not visible to them thanks to defederation, .ml is the last large Marxist-aligned instance they can see, so it's the new boogeyman.

One of them tried to tell me Lemmy is Capitalist because posting is value, lmao

Which part? Posting being value? They tried to use Marx' Labor Theory of Value to say that because admins aren't decided democratically, and posting is labor and therefore creates Value, Lemmy is Capitalist.

This is, in fact, ridiculous, because Lemmy has a Use-Value but no Exchange-Value. Posting isn't labor, and anyone can fork it.
