I have heard the usual "commie" bullshit and that they deny Uyghur genocide / stalin's crimes etc. I don't have a negative opinion of them, in fact they are one of the most kind and emphatic people on lemmy so I wanted a bit of background. Thanks!

I've nothing against communists in general or I wouldn't have signed up on lemmy.ml, but now that I take a look it appears that u/dessalines does maintain a "socalism faq" that includes quite a lot more apologising for Stalin than I would've expected and what appears to be some Uyghur genocide denying among many other objectionable things. It looks pretty bad, although I suppose there's some good stuff in there as well.

To be fair, the political views of reddit, twitter, and facebook management are probably just about as far from my own.
