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?

That's not the part people have an issue with, the part where their users deny genocides, call everyone that has a less extreme left opinion of politics Nazis, end up being so "anti-racism" that they're racists themselves and take all critics as personal attacks, that's what people have an issue with.

Holy shit you got them to brigade your comment. They might as well be bots, I think Chat GPT's "intelligence" outpaces them.

As is tradition! What's funny is that they're supposed to be defederated from my instance so I don't know why they even see my comments... Their admin even called my instance "sh.itsfullof.nazis" in their defederation message because they were angry that they were confronted to people who disagreed with them when they brigaded our administration communities...

They have a community dedicated to organizing brigades so it's no surprise that they are brigading their comment

The rules in the side bar are very telling

Of course the last time I mentioned it's existence with one of my alts I got a 2 week sitewide-ban so this comment probably won't last long

Extremely accurate

I literally netted a 2 week sitewide-ban on one of my alts in this thread for a softer worded take than this

Don't know how I managed to escape consequences so far 😂
