Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. Enjoy the expertly designed Stalin flag thing. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We're also testing a weekly news thread specifically for discussing world news.
We have a Matrix homeserver at genzedong.xyz. See this thread for information about our Matrix space.

I actually forgot that Shit Reactionary Says existed for the past few months. Actually made my experience here really pleasant.
I unblocked it recently to see what’s up but quickly blocked it again.
I don’t know how some of you all do it.
There is only so much AnonymousNazi has to say before it gets really boring and the same arguments get rehashed over and over.
Also I expected it to become more active since the recent surge in users but seems like it’s been steady.
I think this is because NSFW posts are disabled by default (at least when registering using the web UI), so most new users don't know it exists
Ahh makes sense.
I was subscribed to it initially hoping to find funny content, the kind of commentary about communism that you see on the internet once in a while that is so bad that it turns around all the way into being good again, in a comedic way. Instead, it's just a compilation of all things reactionary ever said on the internet.
Also, of the 40 posts currently on the community's front page, 22 are all made by the same user, who I suppose just goes there to post every time they find content posted by a liberal/libertarian/fascist. It is frankly a bad community, and you did well by blocking it.
Yup. Although some posts and comments are decent. Just sad that a lot of it is low hanging fruit.
