    You still don’t understand the concept of being on a federated website it seems. What you said makes as much sense as “XYZ on a communist email”.

    This post was made by a user from mander.xyz (AFAIK not communist), to a community on lemmy.ml (not openly communist either) and you accessed it from lemmygrad.ml (a Stalinist instance that isn’t communist either, but lets not have a discussion on that ;) ).

      The people on lemmygrad are 10x more communist than the western liberals claiming the term these days that eat up everything the US empire has to say about socialist countries and use words like “Stalinism”.

      The point is not to make sense, it’s to make a frivolous low effort claim. It’s kind of like the liars dividend, because it’s a lot easier to be lazy and say something that’s wrong, than it is to put in the effort to correct the wrong thing that was said.

      The liar’s dividend is about demanding something obviously true be proved to the satisfaction of an unreasonably skeptical person which requires all kinds of effort above and beyond what we normally require to establish day to day beliefs.

      This is a little bit different. It could be called the trolls dividend. The goal isn’t really to refute the article, which can take a lot of effort, it’s to kind of split the difference with low effort trolling. Much more efficient.

      Ok so instead would you want me to tell you your source sucks and provides no information outside of claims w/ no evidence? Most of the outside information they give are behind paywalls lol
