Except they were the ones that created Lemmy in the first place so they could live in their own little echo chamber so if anyone's guilty of running away to hide from criticism it's them not the general public. You know because most people don't think communism is great. Mostly because they either saw it, learned about it, or lived through it.
Communists didn't choose to move to our own spaces, we had to because we were systematically banned from others.
Funny how people who say this inevitably did none of these things.
Traditionally people actually bother to learn even a shred of information about a topic before they start having strong opinions about them. That way they don't end up saying embarrassingly and factually wrong things like "communism is just a dictatorship" or that the Soviet Union and China have no democratic processes is existence. (Or talk about the USSR in the present tense).
You also shamelessly pivoted from "it's bad that communists go to their own spaces" to "communists should be forced into their own spaces!"
