For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

I love how the immediate reply is so dumb and "because I said so" that even the OP (a self-proclaimed MLM) feels that their intelligence has been insulted.

I'm starting to wonder if that place is a honey pot or something, it's truly a strange place full of strange takes.

Edit:

This got me curious. I checked the moderators of r/Marxism and between all of them they manage these communities:

r/AnarchismVsMarxism
r/AnarchoFeudalism
r/antyjokes
r/askcommunists
r/communism
r/communism101
r/communismlibrary
r/communistdating
r/comradesgonewild
r/DebateCommunism
r/justfuckmymemeup
r/LeftHistoryPorn
r/leninism
r/Marxism
r/MarxistFilmGroup
r/marxistreadingclub
r/politicalfolk
r/ShittyDebateCommunism
r/showtrials
r/socialistfolk
r/thursdaynext
r/xplkqlkcassia

Between them all they all have moderation rights to a bunch of strangely named communities.

Some of them seem to be backup communties? Maybe used for CSS testing? I can't be sure. I haven't looked at all of them yet.

All of them moderate r/communism, r/communism101, r/marxism, however:

PigInABlanketFort hasn't posted or commented in 2 years. supercooper25 is active.
xplk☭ hasn't posted or commented in 2 years.
StarTrackFan hasn't posted or commented in 5 years. AlienatedLabor hasn't posted or commented in 1 year.

I mean, maybe this is just a total lack of actual moderation. If one person is trying to manage these subs, I imagine it's not easy. But a lack of comments and posts doesn't exactly mean the users are inactive, I

strangely named communities.

Reddit announced that one back in 2021: these communities used to have names but Reddit reclaimed them

That makes sense, I had a feeling it was something like that.

Some people just read theory not to transform how they think of the world, but to keep the same attitudes expressed in more advanced theoretical forms.

Oh, thanks, I needed this reminder to unsub.
