I'm guessing you're an anarchist, which I appreciate and so I totally understand why you may not like these instances, but do you ever feel like some of the people criticizing Lemmygrad and Hexbear are Right-wingers themselves?

I fully support Leftist critiques but some of these claims are kind of wild. Someone claiming hexbear is racist? How would it be racist, from a Leftist perspective? It just seems to me like Right-wingers are attacking them with these ridiculous claims to get them to be defederated or at least to get people to stay away and not understand the humor. If someone critiqued them for defending the State when communism should include the dissolution of the State apparatus, the recuperation of initially revolutionary movements by global capitalism, etc. then I'd appreciate the Leftist critiques but it doesn't seem to me to be the case. And it doesn't seem to me like there is any monolithic position at hexbear either. I actually was further pleasantly surprised to see they had an anarchism community and also a Christianity community at hexbear, it doesn't feel to me like they have a hard Stalinist party-line and don't accept differences among the Left.

I do get the feeling they don't like Right-wingers though.

Oh, no, most of the critique, especially of lemmygrad, is from a right wing stance (right wing from an anarchist prospective). There are are plenty of good conversations to be had about the role of activism and the state in achieving liberation. But the standard critique is a knee jerk reaction.

I blocked those two hexbear comnunities because they are the most likely to insert hexbear's wild and unpleasant meme culture into my timeline. They aren't terribly interested in any discussion that doesn't start and end with their viewpoint, cause its meme culture.

I have an 60% confidence I will get sea-lioned for this comment. Also a 20% chance I will get pig poop balls, although highlighting it may increase those odds

edit: after 5 hours I did not get sea-lioned. I admit I was overly critical in that estimate.

Vhat is it that you feel unappealing about lemmygrad that does not agree with my opinions??

Edit: Sorry bots work on a half-day timeline.

Nothing, I have no strong opinion of lemmygrad.
