This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

good. that place fuckin sucks, half of the users in there are unironically libs and debate perverts anyway

[–] darkcalling@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I got banned from there ages ago for some bullshit reasons, I think I upset a mod or something.

They're all about that left unity too which means I've seen comrades less careful than myself banned for taking a swipe at anarchists or ultras.

Honestly, pretty toxic place to just go there and stare are horrible takes from horrible people. My mental health improved a bit when I got banned and stopped browsing it.

Yeah, the problem with a lot of "left unity" is it means that calling someone out on something is "disrupting" that unity and is seen as a personal attack. It's impossible to have a discussion with other types of leftists who refuse to consider positions different from their own, especially when it comes to things like the US or AES. Hexbear's form of left unity, where they have certain baseline facts that must be accepted (AES are valid, US state department propaganda is not a substitute for theory etc.) works quite well though, it chases off all the ultras, left-libs and anarkiddies while still allowing people with different leftist tendencies to discuss things reasonably.

"Left unity" in a lot of places just means "I dislike capitalism but also let me rant about communists and AES countries without being called out on my bullshit. "

Not all, but many.

It didn’t, this is a bug that affected a wide array of subreddits. It happened to me when trying to open “WhitePeopleTwitter”.

It should work again if you leave the site for a time.

[–] Kirbywithwhip1987@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 11 months ago

Yeah it was a bug, it went back to normal.

Oh, is it a bug then? Because I'm trying to access it for 20 minutes and keep getting the same thing from screenshot.

[–] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I can't say for sure. Maybe you got the URL wrong? Try this:

https://old.reddit.com/r/ShitLiberalsSay/

[–] Kirbywithwhip1987@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

URL is correct but just old reddit works

[–] ShiningWing@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 11 months ago

Typical new reddit lol, I used to use it but switched back to old because of how often it breaks while old keeps working just fine

A Reddit link was detected in your comment. Here are links to the same location on Teddit and Libreddit, which are Reddit frontends that protect your privacy.

I've been thinking recently about how this sub "doesn't fit" into the overall narrative of reddit. It's "too good" for a reddit filled with liberals and fascists. Wouldn't be surprised if it gets banned.

Damn after Kissinger died and improved my day immensely, the second good news just had to be not real.

Definitely, their userbase is infested by ultras, and their mods are not a comrades, mildly speaking. Also note how they are quite big sub but weren't touched by reddit cointelpro arm while tiny GenZhou was banned.

On the other hand, right now they are concentrated there and banning that place would be like sticking petard in it, it would explode all over the internet.

The heck is that layout? they really did go and make the thing unusable

[–] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

It's also working for me.
