    It always amazes me how much people on the internet think the world revolves around them. “A niche server of a niche social media network? It’s obviously them directly trying to thwart me!”

      Not even ordinary extremism it’s authoritarian extremism! Aka when you can’t wait for a dictator to come so you don’t have to tolerate other opinions (not unlike conservatives!)

    I’ve seen communists/antifascists/anticapitalists get banned in the grad modlog with the reason fascist or capitalist.

    It’s pretty clear that grad is a psyop at least in part. Probably to poison the well and show leftism as a qanonist newspeak tribe.

        Some of the users are real who’ve just drank the kool aid. There could very well be different governmental alphabet agencies feeding them propaganda to share

      Tankies when you can buy the Communist Manifesto on Amazon with same day shipping: westerners are very brainwashed

          Indeed, it’s just that the contrast is amusing. In “communist” countries mass censorship of media is the norm, yet tankies believe themselves to be enlightened. The fact that the paragon of capitalist evil will deliver anti-capitalist literature right to your doorstep is just such a massive dunk I like to point it out at every opportunity.

      Unfortunately. They no longer participate on the instance because they realised it’s bad for business (absolute irony)
