We’ll go through each account application with due diligence, but we would like you to know before you request an account that Lemmygrad is a Marxist instance, principally Marxist-Leninist. We like Stalin and we uphold the DPRK’s sovereignty and legitimacy over the whole of Korea. We love China’s Socialism with Chinese Characteristics.
By experience, most internet users who self-identified as Communists and oppose Stalin tend to be either brainwashed people in countries that are under the rule of Westen European diaspora or trolling bots. Is there any real Communists who actually oppose Stalin? Stalin receive the most slander in Western European diaspora because he refused the destruction of USSR through an unsustainable war against Fascism and he forced the desolution of alliance by British and French empires with Hitler’s Nazi Germany. The Liberals complained about the non-agreession pact between Stalin and Hitler, even when the Western European empires forced Stalin to make the peace pact, that buy time for war preparation by USSR against Hitler at a time when USSR is too underindustrialized and too devasted from the Russian civial war that was more damaging than World War 1.
DPR Korea isn’t sovereign over the whole of Korea. Not yet, anyway. Hopefully soon.
They are not your mainstream idea of socialists or communist, but have more in common with alt right fascist groups than they themselves would like to admit. Just the worshiping of centralized figure heads with life long terms who happen to have more power and wealth than the people they rule over seems contrary to the ideals of communism and socialism.
I came here because I saw it blocked lemmygrad.ml which was good enough for me at the time, and it had the fastest approval process to make an account. And the name was hilarious and the icon too.

Here’s an announcement from lemmygrad themselves.

And from reddit a user had this to say about lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml ties
Lemmygrad is/was hosted on the same IP as Lemmy.ml, which is publicly run by the head developer. Lemmygrad is very clearly owned by the same tankies that develop the platform.
That is the difference between centralized corporate run sites. There is no choice in the matter for users or mods.
Instances on the other hand can be run by individuals and are viewed as unique societies so what is allowed on there is seen as what is approved by that instance by other instances.
So that is one of the responsibilities that instances suddenly find themselves in where they are seen as responsible for everything that is allowed across their communities. That is what it means to be part of federations now. It’s no longer just you are icelade02 from reddit. People will see oh this is Iceblade02 who is from lemmy.world which is an instance who holds beliefs of whatever that place comes to be identified with over time. Much like if someone sees lemmygrad.ml they know there is a Stalinist or see lemmygrad.com and instantly know that is a Trumper.
