I’ve been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

    There’s a difference between challenging other people’s opinions and calling them fascists or Nazis just because they’re not at the extreme left.

    Even worse, in this very thread I’ve been called a fascist for the sole reason that my instance is sh.itjust.works, one of the bigger instances and one where your political opinion isn’t a criteria to subscribe (especially not when I subscribed, they didn’t even ask for an email!)

      They aren’t “nazis” they might prehaps be classed as “facists” “alot of members on lemmygrad and hexbar want a one party conumimist state” but my god are they fucking extreme the entire lot of erm are absolute cunts. I personally as a believer of freedom of speech think they should be allowed to say these things although that doesnt mean that there free from societal consequences if someone doesnt want to associate with then thats fine and dandy .they are entitled to an opinion they’re entitled to share that opinion with the world and so are you although… they’re fucking cunts alright

      Yeah, I only joined shitjust works because that’s where the cdda Lemmy is and that’s the first thing I used it for, didn’t even know people think it’s a political instance. Though I guess with the hexbears and lemmygrads everything’s political somehow. That’s why I generally avoid dealing with them anyway.
