You do hate to see it, ngl. It’s like League of Legends players who hate the game I guess. I kinda get it if the niche, small, online community is the only discussion space for a thing, but still…
the only ML online space that doesn’t have a bunch of weird PatSoc social regressives bumbling around
I mean I have noticed a different vibe on here seeing the posts in Lemmy /r/all so I agree with some of the earlier posts in this thread, but I’ve had it with people comparing everything to a Twitch stream/yt/discord complex with like 400 viewers. Post your list of “all the online spaces”. I demand the list.
Pretty much every other ML or Maoist forum I ever participated in either got banned or a bunch of weirdos who were really more just nationalists for countries that are/were socialist showed up and started posting all the time about how Furries should be sent to a gulag and other weird shit. But then again I don’t leave Hex much these days so maybe things have changed
Also, if you’re just a pseud who interprets most forms of serious anti-imperialism as “nationalism” then you deserve being stranded on Hexbear. You are in the best company for coping with the new reality in a declining imperium. It’s been funny watching people who are inches away from “neutrality” over Ukraine because they think the US is kinder to gay people than Russia absorb anti-imperialism by osmosis and catch up, despte being infatuated with dozens of theorists who spent their life muddying the waters around the question of whether imperial core workers should support anti-imperialism. Because only two or three of them bothered to deal with Debord and Baudrillard and Adorno and Deleuze and all of that fucking paper maché fodder

We are kinda the only ML online space that doesn’t have a bunch of weird PatSoc social regressives bumbling around, that I know of at least

I maybe should have said “forum” specifically.

Can you just tell me what you’re talking about so I can go look it up at least and figure out what is even going on in there
This was years ago and mostly on Reddit subs I’m pretty sure are all banned now so I don’t really have anything for you
Edit: Pretty sure all these people moved to Twitter now, just look for anyone with a Mao avatar but who also uses the word “d*generate” unironically.

Lol I don’t really get how you’re getting all this from a comment about how some English speaking ML spaces attract weirdos who hate furries.
furries have a tendency to try to act like some kind of repressed minority they’re gonna get themselves added to the pride flag, just like Ukraine
